Service dog raiser and animal lover

Pet care experience

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! If you live within walking distance of my home, I can offer a stop during our walk at my fenced in backyard. We can play fetch, run around, and get lots of energy out! No additional charge. Inquire while booking.

Courtney was amazing with my beasts! Super responsive - super responsible! My scaredy cat who’s terrified if everyone took to her immediately! So glad I’ve found someone I feel so comfortable trusting my babies with!

Courtney was fantastic! My husband and I needed someone to come walk our lab twice kind of last minute and Courtney was super responsive, sent multiple pictures, and tired out pup out. We'll definitely be working with her again!

I was so happy to find Courtney. I broke my wrist and she’s been able to fill in with walking Sophia to help us out. It was apparent on their first meeting that Courtney was totally at ease with Sophia and Sophia was happy being with her. Courtney is reliable and punctual and Sophia looks forward to her walks with her.
