Experience Heavy Dog Loving Vet Kid

Pet care experience

I just finished my second year of vet school at Iowa State University and am back home for my last summer in Charlottesville. I have pet sat all sorts of animals since I can remember as a kid and haven't stopped loving them! My favorite animal has always been the dog and could never imagine my life not having one. My mother actually says every dog we have ever had is from my influence. I am from Virginia and have many pet sitting clients from there and was a vet assistant for over 9 years in a small animal hospital. I am proficient at providing compassion, giving medications, feeding, watering, walking, and of course helping the anxious guys, as I have one of those myself.

We had a last-minute need for a dog sitter and Courtney came through for us. Excellent communication before we arrived in Ames and continued throughout the weekend. Fun to have the opportunity for our dog to play with other two dogs and a little kitten. Courtney was flexible with our drop-off and pick-up time which we appreciated. Knowing that she was a vet student was an added benefit. Appreciated Courtney's caring for our dog and would ask again in the future.

Courtney is very easy to work with and responsive! My two golden retrievers enjoy when she stays with them. She usually sends a pic during her stay which helps with missing them! She has watched the dogs 4-5 times now, twice for overnight stays at my house - pet and house sitting and a few times just checking in and walking them. I definitely recommend her!

Courtney is the best. We returned home after a week away to find happy, well-cared-for dogs and everything in great shape at the house. She kept in touch while we were on vacation and we knew our dogs were in good hands. We recommend her highly!!

Courtney house sat my 4 boys for over a week! It was so comforting to know they were in good hands while I was away. I came back to 4 happy healthy pets (1dog, 2 cats, and a rabbit). I received frequent updates and pictures while I was away too! She also took care of the house and watered the plants, ect. Very happy and would highly recommend Courtney!!
