Availability

I only accept one request at a time to ensure my full attention is focused on yours, so you don’t have to worry about overlap or other dogs I may have besides my own. I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever who is incredibly friendly, so a meet in greet would be ideal for extended stays.

Information Courtney G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has a certain temperate, food aggression, toy possessiveness, or any other tendencies that may cause strife between another dog.

A typical day

I’m very big on mental stimulation. I play games with treats, using sniff mats and hiding them around my space to mentally engage them. Of course, I love my long walks. The place I live around has a park in the middle with lots of smells to explore, so that’s always marked as a stop by.

Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

I understand the stress of traveling and finding someone who will make your pets feel as if they have a home away from home. My favorite part about Rover is extending that reach to others in my community. I provide constant updates with pictures to make sure you have peace of mind knowing your baby is in good hands. I'm experienced with dogs of all breeds and temperaments as I’ve raised 3 dogs growing up and helped to raise 2 in college. I’m available all weekend, and I live across my office so I’m happy to extend my availability if you’re comfortable with me coming home during lunch break on weekdays. My schedule is flexible so please let me know if you have any specific requests.

Courtney was awesome. Very smooth and easy drop off and pick up process, she took great care of my little guy, sent me picture updates, and he apparently did lots of crazy play with her pup! Would highly recommend!

Courtney was amazing to work with. A total pro in every communication, listened carefully to all of our preferences, and—most importantly—took amazing care of Zoey who came home happy and relaxed after a weekend “getaway” with Courtney and her beautiful pup. Courtney will be our go-to sitter going forward!
