Dogs and Cats and Rats... Oh My!!
Pet care experience
I have owned pets for as long as I can remember, from the traditional dogs, cats, and hamsters, to the slightly more unusual snakes, and rats. I've been sitting for Rover for a few years now, inspired by a bad experience with a worse sitter to ensure other people didn't have the same problem. I know it's difficult to trust a relative stranger with your non-human family member, which is why I'm here to help! I love pets of all kinds and can promise your animal-baby will have a great time with me, playing fetch, tug-o-war, getting as many treats as Mom and Dad allow, and just getting all the cuddles and love! I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have no breed restrictions; in fact, pibbles hold a very special place in my heart! Just ask me about my baby girl, Dez! I am also very flexible when it comes to scheduling, so if you need something I may not have listed, just ask and I'll see what I can do to work it out for you! I've come to realize that a lot of Rover is focused on the dog-side, but I want to make it known that I am also 100% here for the kitty cats! I have one myself, who is my whole world. So if you're in need of a house-sitter or drop-in visits for your little purr-baby, let me be your #1 choice! I have no fear of claws or litter boxes!
Reviews
Courtney did a great job with our cat Goblin! She was very personable, responsive, knowledgeable about cats, followed all directions correctly, and was also able to help us out with a couple things last minute. We came home to a happy cat and will definitely be booking with Courtney again in the future!
Courtney is the absolute best. So much care and love goes into her visits, it makes traveling so much less stressful because I know my cat is not just well taken care of but legitimately loved. We’re moving overseas soon and I’m shattered to leave Courtney and find a new cat sitter because I know no one will hold a candle. Book her now, you won’t regret it!
Courtney has taken care of both our dog and our two cats on different occasions and is always so caring a communicative. So grateful to know that our babies are in good hands when we’re out of town! Thanks, Courtney!
You rock Courtney! Petter of cats, savior of porch packages.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to cats, I make sure to introduce myself and show that I'm a friend, not just an intruder into their space. Shy babies get more space and independence, to see I'm not a threat, and eager beaver lovers get all the cuddles and playtime they could ask for!! Door dashers also pose no issue to me, as entry and exits are always done carefully.
Information Courtney K. would like to know about your pet
If your pet takes medication (my own cat does), I'm happy to help administer doses as specified by your veterinarian. Whether by pill pocket, liquid, injection, or however, medicine and other special needs are easy peasy!
A typical day
Puppy and kitty playtime is easily my favorite part of dropping in on your fur-babies! My personal favorite is the string-on-a-stick style; keeps them active and jumping for as long as attention spans hold out. Lol!

Availability
I currently work full time between 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday and I am happy to arrange visits around that schedule. I am usually pretty free on the weekends for visits, as well.
