Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Ready to Help!
Hi there! I’m Courtney – lifelong animal lover, seasoned pet parent, and your pet’s next favorite human. 🐾 From fluffy kittens to wise senior pups, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry (and finned!) friend you can think of - cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits… basically everything except the slithery and scaly crew (sorry, lizards and snakes, you're adorable but not my specialty!). With a lifetime of experience and a current household that includes four cats and two dogs (yes, it’s as wonderfully chaotic as it sounds), I’ve seen it all - from zoomies and belly rubs to insulin shots and joint supplements. I’ve raised pets from their earliest days through to their golden years, including those with special needs like hip dysplasia and diabetes. Administering routine meds and providing compassionate, attentive care is just part of the package. I know firsthand that pets are family, and when you're away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your beloved companions are safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet is a snuggly couch potato, an energetic explorer, or a quirky little character with special routines, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Let’s make your time away as stress-free as a sunny nap in a windowsill. ☀️🐕🐈⬛

Safety, trust & environment
I'd love to provide your pet with drop-in care that suits their individual and unique needs, whether that's going for walks, playing in an enclosed yard, or hanging out for a bit for belly rubs, cuddles, and treats. I'm flexible to each pet's needs and want to be sure they feel loved and cared for in your absence. And of course, it's important to me to be sure they are in a clean, safe, fed environment during the times that I'm not there - whether that means making sure water dishes are full, messes are cleaned up, doors are secured, temperatures are comfortable, etc. I've worked with pets who prefer crate-training to those who are allowed free reign, and am comfortable with whatever YOUR structure is for your pet. If they're happy, I'm happy.
Ratings and reviews
Very reliable with our cat! I recommend Courtney to help with all your animal needs!
Courtney is always responsive with messages, she is loving towards my dogs and is very dependable! I am so glad we have her to help with our dogs!
I came home to 2 very happy cats. Courtney was great. Very communicative and took care of my boys like they were her own
Courtney and her husband, Kirk, were excellent! They arrived on time and were wonderful with my dog- she loved them! I would highly recommend them!
Courtney was great and flexible with short notice.
Courtney was a perfect first-time Rover experience for our family! She sent frequent updates and went above and beyond with our cat's care. Courtney even went as far as to offer to check on the house after a particularly nasty storm. Thank you so much for your care and attention!

Schedule
I have a flexible daytime desk job, allowing me to set my own schedule and typically wrapping each day by 5p so my evenings are free. I'm happily married and my husband also works a flexible day job so he is able to hold down the fort with our pets and teens so that I can take care of your family when you're away!

- I'm comfortable with special needs pets and senior animals, but would like to know the specifics of their special care in advance to make sure I'm able to meet their needs. Otherwise, their preferences of time of day to eat, how many walks, the distance they prefer to walk / their energy-level, etc are always helpful for planning
