Courtney can care for
Availability
I'm currently spending some time with my family in the east coast, but have lots of flexibility for daytime or overnight care. Although I ideally have a couple days notice, I can also make last-minute needs work.

Safety, trust & environment
Its very important for me to establish trust with dogs prior to an overnight stay, and we can do that at their own pace by taking a calm walk or using treat rewards. While in your home I'll make sure to follow any safety rules and be very aware of doors, making sure dogs are always leashed before opening them (I had a dog that liked to take off for a while so am very vigilant about this!). If your dog has challenges with other animals, I can always make sure they have space on walks and play. I provide hands-on care with belly rubs and ear scratches to keep dogs calm and happy. I can handle oral medications and am happy to provide daily updates with photos :)
Information Courtney G. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful to know if your dog has any special needs or medications, or if there are any behavioral challenges. I don't mind dogs that need lots of outside time (I do too!)
A typical day
I love to make sure dogs get plenty of activity, play time, and sweetness. I'm happy to take dogs on brisk walks to long hikes depending on their needs, play fetch in the yard or set up brain activities indoors, and offer lots of pets and cuddles. One 30 minute walk is included with an overnight stay. Happy to add additional walks for a fee!

Playful and attentive pet care
Pet care experience
I'm an enthusiastic overnight pet sitter who loves to make pets feel at ease and have fun while their humans are away! I have always been around animals and adopted a dog as soon as I was able. Since she passed away I'm always looking for ways to play with pets. For the active pups, I'm always up for a game of fetch or an adventurous trail walk, giving them the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. For the more laid-back ones, I’m more than happy to provide some gentle snuggles and quiet companionship. Every pet is different, and I truly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and preferences. Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of attention, a safe environment, and lots of love while you're away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I do what I can to make their stay as fun and comforting as possible! I'm also happy and available to take dogs on walks or potty breaks during the day.
Reviews
I fully trust Courtney to care for my dog or any of my animals, any day any time! She is incredible with dog management and makes sure to give them all the love they deserve. I feel extra reassured to know my dog is in great hands when Courtney cares for her.
Courtney went above and beyond when caring for my husky/Shepard. She is caring, thorough, attentive, and provided my energetic pup with plenty of exercise. She has a nurturing spirit and is incredibly reliable. I would highly recommend her services.
