Hello Rover Fam! My name is Courtney, I'm a former Vice President of Sales at a media company, turned part-time turned dog nanny. For all whom don't know me yet, I am an extremely genuine, but also unscripted person. Somehow this has helped my sales career, and still baffles me to this day. Now I could start this with a great sales pitch like, "If you want someone who can teach your dog to pee standing up and speak korean, book with me now - " BUT thats not how I roll, and I don't think either of those things are very probable. So heres the raw version... My best friend (a brindle french bulldog named luna) was diagnosed with a fatal disease, GME. The disease replicates meningitis of the brain. For the last 2 years I have invested everything I have (including my mind) in keeping her alive. Dozens of hospital visits, a kitchen stocked pharmacy, experimental therapies, and lots and lots of tears. All while trying to balance the demands of a high stress job. Long story short, I decided that while there were many perks to having this high level position, my work was never finished when I got home. I could no longer fathom the thought of not being present when I had no idea how much time was left with my best friend. For those still reading, thank you for listening. I may not be the person to teach your dog korean, but I am the person who has an extremely big heart and will cherish every moment with your loved ones!
