Highlights
Pet care experience
WORK-FROM-HOME PET SITTER
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up on a farm in the Gaspesie but have called Montreal home for 13 years now. Getting to take care of pets is one of the great privileges of my life, and I'd love to shower your dog or cat with love and attention. I've been pet-sitting, walking and doing drop-ins independently for about 6 years now, and I have experience with puppies and kittens. From cuddles to walks in the park, along the water, time spent sunbathing and nearby hikes, let me know what your pet would enjoy, and I'd be happy to keep them occupied.

Ratings and reviews
Courtney was wonderful taking care of my dog Toby. My dog is getting on in age and it was quite stressful finding someone to watch over him for a few days. Courtney took great care of him and sent regular updates. I will not hesitate to use Courtney again to watch over Toby.
I’ve worked with Courtney multiple times now and truly cannot recommend her highly enough. She is responsible, attentive, and has a naturally calming presence that my cats responded to immediately. I've relied on her for everything from quick feeding visits to longer stays where she spends extra time playing and keeping them company. What I appreciate most is how she tailors her care to each cat’s specific personality and dietary needs; Courtney doesn't just "check the boxes," she has formed genuine bonds with my critters. They come rushing out to see her when she drops by! She’s also incredibly tidy and prompt with communication, so I always felt completely comfortable trusting her in my home. If you’re looking for a sitter who is devoted and kind, Courtney is the perfect choice. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her care!
Courtney has been watching over my two Dachshunds while I travel on works trips for just over a year now. Sonny and Louie adore her! She is very responsible, kind, trustworthy and cares for my dogs like they were her own. Courtney goes above and beyond to communicate all the cute funny things the dogs are doing while in her care and I am here for it! Highly Recommend!
Courtney took care of my rescue, Gizmo, and he absolutely loved her!!! She’s responsible and loving and I would trust her with absolutely anything (including house sitting)! As a dog owner herself, of a very well trained boi, I knew I could trust her!
Courtney helped care for my senior boston terrier on and off for a couple of years. Taking care of him with genuine care as though he was her own pet. I had peace of mind his care was in the right hands while with Courtney! Forever thankful.
Courtney is an animal lover at heart and has spent her whole life with pets. She's been a great sitter for my anxious cat whenever I'm out of town. I've had the chance to meet her dog and cats and they're among the most friendly and well-mannered cuddle bugs I've ever met. That just goes to show how good her love, care, and training are!

Schedule
I'm a writer who works from home. My job isn't stressful or fast-paced, so I'm able to give your pet the full attention they deserve. I am home a majority of the day, so your pet will never need to be alone for long.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious two-floor home, a fenced yard, and a park across the street. There are three friendly cats and one friendly small dog in the house. All of them are well socialized with other animals.
Pets
A typical day
There are a lot of parks within walking distance, as well as a nice trail by the water. Depending on what your dog enjoys, we could take long walks or go play in a dog park. My husband and I are outdoorsy, so weekend stays could include a hiking trip if your pet likes that sort of thing. Just let me know when you book! The house has a lot of pet beds, a cat tree and a big couch, so if your pet would rather stay home and be cozy, that's fine with me! They can play in the fenced yard or catch some sun on the sun porch.

- Let me know of any special needs or behaviours your pet has so I can be sure to accommodate them. I'd like to know the things they like, don't like, or if anything scares or makes them nervous. If your pet chews or has any such tendencies, let me know so I can make sure the house is well-prepared.
