About courtney k.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do live in an apartment, so I will not be taking pets in at this time. I am available for walks, drops ins, or overnight stays.
Information courtney k. would like to know about your pet
If your pet requires any special needs or medication, please let me know ahead of time so I can have time to accurately familiarize myself with those needs.
A typical day
A typical day depends on the type of pet I am with and their level of care. Going for walks/runs with high-energy dogs to get them out of the house for some exercise is key. Senior dogs/lower energy dogs may need more snuggles, slower play times, and slower or shorter walks. Cats deserve a clean litter box, which will be checked, and of course, some play time together with their favorite toys.

Reliable, Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Courtney — an animal lover through and through. From helping stray pups at a rescue facility in Cusco, Peru, to caring for horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, and of course, cats and dogs, I've worked with animals big and small! Every pet deserves love, safety, and a whole lot of tail-wagging fun. 🐶🐱 I’m dependable, responsible, and will always bring good energy to my time with your pet. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or simply hanging out on the couch, I’ll care for your furry friend like they’re my own. I also have my own super sweet cat named Zürich (usually Zuzu, meow meow, mr. little baby Zuzu, or poopy boy), who is everything to me. Let’s connect! I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care, play, and cuddles they deserve.

Reviews


Our 2nd time having Courtney house sit and she again exceeded our expectations. Our 2 dogs now love her and she does great at playing with them and keeping them company. She maintained the house and dogs are safe and happy! Would definitely recommend!



Courtney did amazing with our 3 fur babies! Our snobby cat even cuddled with her! She was very communicative, sent pics and was on time! We will for sure book her again!


Courtney did a great job watching our two dogs for the extended weekend that we were away, our dogs absolutely loved her! She kept the house cleaned up, played with the dogs through the day, and did an excellent job at providing updates of the pups throughout the weekend! Definitely would recommend!
Courtney has been a wonderful pet caregiver. She has helped me tremendously when looking after my pet. She is excellent and she is very knowledgeable!
