Availability
I work from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I can take my lunch break to take your pup on a walk or for playtime during the week! On the weekends, we can take a longer walk or hike at one of the nearby parks if you have a high-energy pup.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Since we had a dog of our own, many things are dog-proofed (no open trash cans, no food low to the ground, etc) in our apartment. Our 2 bedroom apartment has ample room for roaming and playing. Our 4-legged guests love our long entryway for playing ball. There is also a small fenced-in dog park nearby for fetch and sniffing.

Information Courtney L. would like to know about your pet
-Feeding: When and how much do they normally every day? Do they usually eat their food right away or snack on it throughout the day? -Walks: What is their normal walking and potty schedule? Do they like long walks or are they okay with just doing their business? How does your dog react to strangers (both people and other dogs)? Are they sensitive to the heat, rain, snow, etc? -Noises: Are they afraid of any noises? How do they react if someone knocks at the door, or if they hear noises outside? -Grooming: Does your dog need brushing, teeth brushing, or eye goop wiping? -Sleeping: Where does your dog normally sleep at night? What time do they usually wake up in the morning? -Other: Is this your dog's first time with a sitter? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Do they tolerate being left alone? I offer meet-and-greets so we can make sure it’s a great match. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
A typical day
I'll do my best to adjust to your dog's schedule. Walks around the neighborhood, treat time, and playtime. They will also have plenty of times for naps and resting if that's more their style!

WFH Small Dog Lover in N. Bethesda
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Courtney, and I am a lifelong dog lover. I work remotely, which enables me to spend lots of quality time with your pet. I have years of experience (both professionally, and as an owner) caring for dogs (and cats too) of all ages and personalities. Since I’m home full-time, your dog will get lots of attention, regular potty breaks, and all the love and snuggles they could ask for. Whether it’s a cozy nap on the couch or a play session in the living room, I aim to cater to your dog’s needs and routine just like you would. We have a spacious 2 bedroom apartment they can safely roam about to play or relax. Our sweet Bichon/Maltese mix passed away in 2024. He lived to 17 years and we miss him very much! For the past 3 years, my husband, Scott, and I have been walking, sitting, and boarding dogs at our place through word-of-mouth and on Rover. We look forward to caring for your furry friend. We are both Pet First Aid and CPR certified. What you can expect from us: -Small dog specialists: I specialize in small dogs (under 25 lbs), making sure they’re comfortable and not overwhelmed. -Low-stress environment: We have a quiet, cozy home where your dog is treated like family. We do not have a dog of our own, so if your dog prefers to be an only dog, that is cool with us! If there will be another dog in our home, we will request and let you know ahead of time. -Personalized care: I take the time to learn your dog’s habits, needs, and quirks to ensure they feel right at home. -Daily updates: I send regular updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away.

Reviews
Awesome care of our dog, Finn!
Courtney was very responsive and took great care of our two kitties while we were away. She kept us updated, and they were clearly happy and well cared for in our absence. We’d gladly book with her again!
Excellent care, as always!!
Courtney is very responsive and took great care of Luna while we were away. She played with Luna and sent photos and let us know how Luna was doing. It’s wonderful to know your pet is in good hands!
