Pet care experience

Available for Winter Long-Term Sits

I have been dog walking and pet sitting for more than 15 years and have been doing it as a business since 2022, fully bonded and insured in addition to Rover's insurance. I am available for daily walks while you are at work (or working from home) and pet sits where I stay in your home while you are traveling. Over the years, I have worked part time for a pet sitting company and on my own, where I had regular dog walking clients who I walked daily as well as pet sat (both dogs and cats) for several clients in their homes. In addition to my pet sitting/dog walking business, I also have a second online business and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from anywhere. I am able to work around your pet's schedule. Growing up I had a cat and several dogs. Our family had our 17yr old puggle named Shelby who was the absolute best, and gave me great experience with senior dogs. I have experience administering medication, pills only. Puppies are cute and fun, but senior dogs are the kindest souls (even when they get grumpy). I love animals and find that spending time with a dog can be the best part of my day. My animal clients and I are quickly besties and we're having a blast together while you're away. I care for your home while I'm staying there, and make sure to leave it exactly how I found it. I send daily updates with photos and leave a written note at the end sharing with you all the fun we got up to during our time together. I would love to meet your four-legged family member and care for them as if they were my own. My clients stay with me for many years so I'd love to add you to the family! I am available for every day walks, pet sits in your home and I'm open to longer-stay pet sits. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your pet.

We really appreciated Courtney coming in to help us out at the last minute one weekend. She did a thorough meet-and-greet with our two cats and visited with them exactly as planned. It was all a breeze and such a relief to know our cats were in good hands.

Courtney was absolutely amazing!! My dog can be slow to warm up to people but by the end of the weekend they were best friends! I didn’t have to worry once while I was away .I truly cannot thank Courtney enough!

Courtney did a fabulous job with our dogs (one of which is a puppy). She was attentive, checked in with updates, and acknowledged my concerns. I would definitely recommend her services!

I like to meet my clients and pets prior to sitting. I like to get to know your pet and their habits and routine. I'd like to know if your dog gets along with other dogs and/or children or if the dog is a biter or a runner. Also, any special diet needs or favorite toys is always great to know prior to watching your pet. I also will leave report cards/updates on how well your pet did each day or text you updates if requested so you can relax without guilt on vacation.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
