Pet care experience

Service dog raiser and animal lover

About Me: I've had dogs my whole life. I also raise and train service dogs. I LOVE all animals! I studied zoology and conservation biology in college and went on to work abroad at a sea turtle rehab center. I moved back to Jersey during the pandemic. Neighbors, friends and families have always relied on me to walk, pet sit, bathe, and feed their animals when they are not able to. In college, I spent my spare time volunteering at the shelter where I would walk, play with, and socialise dogs and socialise cats as well! I now work from home and will be available at all times to care for and play with your pet. I can tailor your dog's walk or drop in to their specific needs and temperment. I'm in my late 20s and work remotely so I have a pretty flexible schedule. On top of the safety benefits Rover provides, I purchased my own 3rd party insurance policy for dog walking and drop in visits. You will have extra piece of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for in the event of an emergency. My pets: I have three dogs of my own, two are future service pups that I am training and the other is a pet. My pet dog is a senior with serious medical issues. I have a lot of experience monitoring symptoms and administering oral medication because of this. I also fully understand how nervewracking it is to leave your senior/special needs dog and I do all i can to make sure you and your dog are comfortable and happy. I also have a bunny and a fish! In college I had two guinea pigs. Experience: I have experience with puppies, dogs with special needs, elderly dogs, and dogs of all shapes and sizes! I also have experience with cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish! Unfortunately due to my busy schedule I am not able to take on any more weekly recurring clients. However, I'm happy to step in ad hoc when you need a walker/sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

Drop ins: In the client's home I can adapt to their routine and house rules. I can also bring any puzzles, kongs, toys that may be requested. I can provide excercise for high energy dogs, cuddles and attention for the lower energy dogs that love company, training on basic commands, and everything in between!

Courtney was great with our cats! This is the first time we've returned from a trip and they weren't mad at us — I think because they liked Courtney so much. It was such a relief to get the pictures and see how happy they looked. We also had a bit of a curveball when one of the cats was diagnosed with an ear infection and needed meds. But that didn't deter Courtney, she even spent extra time with him so he would feel comfortable and not just associate her with the ear drops.

Courtney was so great with our cats while we were away! She was so easy to talk and work with before hand, and after visits always gave such great updates (and cat pictures!). We felt so comfortable having her take care of them. We will be booking again. Thank you!

Courtney watched my two cats while I was away for my wedding. My one cat is a bit difficult. He has IBD and has flare ups often. Courtney checked in throughout the trip and made sure that we knew our guys were safe! She gave us the opportunity to enjoy a stress free wedding weekend, and I would book her services again in a heartbeat! I could not recommend anyone more!

Schedule

Schedule: I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available at all times for walks and drop ins. I can give your pup as much attention, play time, excercise, and cuddles as they want. I sometimes have some work calls I need to tend to but I can be as flexible as possible to your and your pets needs! Send me a message if you have any questions. Unfortunately due to my busy schedule I am not able to take on any more weekly recurring clients. However, I'm happy to step in ad hoc when you need a walker/sitter!
