Not just a walk it’s an experience.

Pet care experience

My expertise comes from my exclusive training by the world renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan. I recently graduated from CESAR MILLAN’S- “The Training Cesars Way -Essentials of Dog Psychology & Socialization Course.” In order to be able to communicate with a dog and understand a dogs needs. The human has to identify the psychology of a dog behavior and how they view their social world. Dogs see us as Energy. Energy is everything in the Dog world. Keeping a Calm Confident Energy around the presence of your dog will then communicate to them a safe and calm behavior. Exercise and discipline is a essential in a dogs life. A tired dog is a happy dog🐶. I stay Calm, Confident ,Assertive and always practicing Love & Joy to all dogs. Always staying alert to a dogs body language and aware of the environment and surrounding objects is what I always practice while on walks. This is a key element to have. Staying aware of my surroundings and focusing on the dogs body language also keeps myself and the dog on the same level. In case a situation or a reactive dog approaches, I am able to avoid that particular situation in order to keep the dog in a calm state of mind while on a walk. By practicing this, the dog will always associate walks in a positive calm state. Walks should be a bonding and relaxing activity for both the human and dog. Knowing and understanding that trait of a dogs personality is also a key factor to maintaining that bond with the human and their dog. The knowledge I have I continue to practice on every dog that is in my care. Rest assured while your dog is under my care he/she is getting the crème de le’ crème treatment. Littermate Syndrome I have experience in and work with it everyday on my own two dogs. After research and learning how to work with the syndrome. I am able to guild owners on how to work with this on a everyday basis in order to help owners understand how to keep the dogs civil with each other while living under the same roof. 💥👉 What’s included in my fees and Walks 👈💥 I asses each dog upon meeting them by observing their body language & behavior. This helps me determine the proper length of walk I SUGGEST for each dog, in order to keep the dog in a CALM state of mind. In order to help the dog eliminate that anxiety or hyper-active behavior the dog needs a efficient amount of exercise to run that anxiety off and turn that into a calm peaceful behavior. Exercise is key to keeping your dog happy and in a calm state.🐶 “A TIRED DOG IS A HAPPY DOG.” That simple. My Goal and objective here at Rover is to give you peace of mind ,knowing your dog is receiving the 5 Star treatment that he or she deserves !!❤️🐶 #doglover #Pitbulllover #Lovethebullys #Luvyourpit #Cesarsway #CalmConfidentPracticeLoveJoy. #trustrespect 💥 My availability is open to your needs 💥 Last Minute Walks 💥, Drop In Visits.💥 Rest Assured I got you covered !!! 🐶 24/7 I am Available 🐶 💥 💥 🐶 🐶 🐶 💥 💥 No limits .

Courtney was AMAZING! She recently dog sat our 2 year old Frenchie Jackson at our house for 5 days while we were out of the country. Jackson has a ton of energy and is very needy. Courtney was so great with him and as a bonus helped train him with his walks while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos and went out of her way to make sure Jackson was safe and happy. Our house was in perfect shape when we got home. She went beyond her dog sitting duties and even made organic treats for Jackson for him to enjoy knowing he has a sensitive stomach. I would highly recommend Courtney for both dog sitting and walking. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Courtney is fantastic! We have a very timid and anxious Staffy Bull, and Courtney was so patient with her while we were gone for a night. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially for pups who take a little longer to trust new people.

Courtney is amazing. McCree can be a handful and he absolutely loves her. She is so attentive and cares so much about animals and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone on the app and when I have needs she’ll be the first person I reach out to. Thank you Courtney!

Information Courtney H. would like to know about your pet

Always a essential to know how the dog is on walks, if the dog is reactive to other dogs while on a walk or out in public. Any health issues , current medications how the dog is when he/she meets a new person. Or any other important facts the owner should advise me of.

A typical day

Walking is a key essential in the dog world. It all starts with the walk. My walks are not just like any average “Dog walker walk” My walks are what every dog needs in their daily life. Keeping a calm, assertive, role while walking ensures the dog will know he/she is in a following state of mind and will never be in a leader position. I don’t go by time I go by distance the longer the walk, the happier, the dog, I personalize, each walk to fit each dogs, activity level and age. I truly believe that walking your dog, is the true foundation to having a happy, balanced dog. Per request of the owner is what I follow. Daily walks, feeding regimen, ball throwing and any dog activity that will provide good mental stimulation for the dog.
