Information Courtney H. would like to know about your pet

Are they a fearful biter? Do they bite unexpectedly? Do they get along with cats? Are they food aggressive? Do they tend to dart out the door if not on a leash?

A typical day

I have a very energetic small dog who absolutely LOVES to chase a ball around and play with any dog that comes over. I also live in a neighborhood that’s flat and perfect for walking. I live within 10 minutes walking distance of Battery park and love to walk there when it’s nice out!

Courtney H. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

ICU vet nurse, tons of experience!

Pet care experience

I graduated from vet tech school and became licensed 12 years ago, have experience in general practice, and spent the last 11 years in emergency and critical care medicine. I grew up with dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals and looked after pets of family friends for over a decade. I currently have a dog and cat who get along well with other dogs. Because of my experience in veterinary medicine, I feel comfortable medicating dogs or cats if needed. I am cool, calm, and collected in a crisis and feel confident that I would be able to determine if or when a pet is in need of urgent medical care. I am able to communicate with owners as often as wanted and look forward to meeting all your furry babies!
