Veterinary Technician/ Photographer

Pet care experience

**About me** I moved out to Colorado from the East Coast three years ago now to get my Masters in Public health which I have since achieved. Currently, I am working full time as a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in North Fort Collins. I'm the person you see the most when you bring your animals in to see us at the vet. I love our clients so much that with the spread of this new respiratory virus going around and boarding facilities not being the safest option anymore - I'd like to expand out and help out doing some pet sitting on the side. I am also able to do some grooming services as well as pet photography. Working in the vet field for the last 5 years now has given me experience with an extremely wide variety of breeds and temperaments so I am apt to deal with them all. Because of my past experiences, I am ok with dealing with dogs who may have medical issues, aggression or other behavioral issues. I have two dogs of my own now - both are very friendly. Can't wait to see how we can help you have a happy holidays :) **About my home/services** I live in a house with my dogs of which are very friendly but unfortunately co-habit with a roommate's dog reactive dog as well, so boarding in home will not be possible for me. I am very able and willing to do as many drop in visits as needed for your pets and am definitely able to stay for short periods of time at your home with your pet(s) while you're away if that makes you and them feel more comfortable, although I would not be able to stay overnight unless you are ok with having my two dogs come along with me for the stay. If this is the case, message me and we can create a custom booking to accomplish this! **What to expect** Really whatever kind of personality your dog is, I can bend to accommodate that. I have dealt with hundreds of dog personalities so I am willing to do whatever I can to make him/her happy! I can sit on the couch and watch movies while cuddling or we can be totally antisocial and sit far apart (not ideal but gotta do what you gotta do). If you take your dogs on runs I would also love to do that - it's easier to have someone to tell you to go run than motivate yourself to go on a run! **Special rules or requests** I have no preferences or breed restrictions. I am open to all dogs and have dealt with all kinds of dogs and personalities so nothing is a problem. I have limited behavioral limitations, I would just like them to not be overly human aggressive as I don't want to have to worry about my well being getting access into your home.

Courtney was a fantastic sitter! We have been using Rover for over a year now and recently lost our favorite sitter due to her moving. We'd been through a few different sitters and just hadn't been super ecstatic about them. Courtney completely changed that as she was attentive, highly communicative, and went above and beyond in almost every way. She brought her camera along and took professional grade photos of the dogs in front of the Christmas tree! I'm pretty sure we will use the photos as cards in the future. We couldn't be happier with her.
