Availability
Currently my schedule is completely open! I am flexible for even last minute bookings or changes. I have my own transportation and things are taken care of for me at home. So long stays, short stays or visits work for me.

About Courtney G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I work around whatever needs you and your pets have so make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible. I'll ask for a digital or typed/written instructions so I can follow them to the letter! I keep areas clean and make sure everything is secure before I leave a home. I also always send a "closing" message for overnight stays with details like mail collection etc! Your pet's safety and your ease of mind are my top priorities.
Information Courtney G. would like to know about your pet
I love working with all types of animals that have all types of personalities! I remember all my clients' quirks and love to learn about them. Tell me everything YOU think is important. Everything medical to anything funny. I want to become your fur baby's friend so they're super comfortable with me and more at ease when you're gone!
A typical day
I like to do what you and your pets like to do together. Personally I am a homebody and love relaxing at home. Video games, reading, playing in the yard. I adapt to what my clients need - If you need your fur baby to let out energy throughout the day, we'll get lots of play time in! If they're easily anxious or need low-key environments, that's okay too.

Pet Friend - Not just your Sitter!
Pet care experience
Being with animals isn't a job for me, it's my favorite thing to do! I've grown up with animals around me my whole life, and I started walking dogs when I was 16. Almost 20 years later I am still loving on pets whenever I can. I currently own a Bearded Dragon and a senior pup - But I owned special needs kitties for 19 years. Here's some about me and my experience! 70% of my one-time clients have booked me again or become regular clients! Please reach out with any questions on rates, experience, or anything else you want to discuss! Pet Care Experience: - Dogs: Puppies older than 6 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Cats: Kittens older than 8 months, juveniles, adults and seniors - Small mammals like guinea pigs, hamsters - Reptiles like Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos - Fish What can I do that sets me apart? - Medication administration with mild- to moderate-tempered cats (oral, topical, injection) - Experience with Separation Anxiety, high-energy, and pets that don't do well with other animals (keeping walks, etc safe!) - Experience with multi-pet homes and environments. I've watched 13 cats and 2 dogs in the same home once! - Manual feeding assistance for sick pets - LOTS of attention. My visits are longer than most as I love to just sit with pets and give them attention in the ways they need or want. For overnight stays, I'm a homebody so I love to stay at the house and just hang out with the animals! - A LOT of Flexibility: I don't work full-time right now, and my sleep schedule isn't regular. This means I have no issues with adjusting schedules even last minute. Need me to come earlier? Or come back when your flight is cancelled? No problem. - *Cat Whisperer* I have been told by most of, if not all, cat clients that are standoffish like me quicker or more than a normal stranger. I love cats the most, so I think they can sense it ;) - *Coming Soon* Insurance for your pet and home during my stays! Any tips will be going towards that and training classes so I can grow. About me: - I've lived in WI since 2009 - I have 18 years of working experience - clerical, customer, administrative and sales support, retail - In my free time I like going to concerts, listening to music and doing crafts/projects, playing video games or hanging out with my friends and family

Reviews
Courtney did a fantastic job watching our dogs. We definitely would hire her again.
Courtney was amazing! Absolutely wonderful with all of our fluffies and you can tell they Super care about them. Many sitters just do the bare minimum but Courtney spent time with them, took care of medicine, played with them, etc… and did not just watch TV all day sitting like we have had others do. If you want someone who takes care to help your fluffies feel comfortable while you are away, we recommend Courtney.
People said it couldn’t be done but Courtney did it! Our Daisy is a rescue with odd triggers and a guarded outward personality hiding her gentle lovie inner personality. Courtney came with patience, confidence, affection and belief - and she has won Daisy’s trust and mutual affection. (Mine, too!) I couldn’t be happier! Courtney is professional, prompt, friendly and easygoing. She brings loads of experience and a comfortable sense of self to provide heartfelt companionship right here in our home, helping Daisy be her best self! Thanks, Court! God smiled on us - You are a blessing!
I have used Courtney multiple times for four or five years for pet sitting, originally for 2 cats and 2 dogs, I am now down to 2 dogs. As my pets have always been on the older side, Courtney has always stayed at my house which is best for my animals and I am so grateful for that. She stays in contact with me and sends pictures, which I also appreciate. My animals are always happy to see her and she is always happy to see them! She was very flexible when my flight was delayed and follows all my detailed instructions. I highly recommend her, she is great with all animals and is a great caregiver.
