Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced sitter, works from home
Coming from a professional animal family, I have been involved in various animal organizations and activities throughout my life. These include AKC, canine rescue, dog, cat and horse massage, dog training, puppy rearing, dog shows as a handler and helper, agility, obedience, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I've always felt incredibly close to animals of all shapes, and sizes. I grew up with Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, the occasional all-breed foster and house cats. In addition, I have been riding and helping care for horses for as long as I can remember and have experience with goats, cows, rabbits, chickens, etc. Over the years I have been hired to feed and care for just about every sort of animal commonly kept by people. I am very comfortable with daily visits as well as overnights. Additionally, I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes on leashes and love taking pets for walks. I'm currently a 34-year-old Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with a minor in Russian) as well as a Bachelor of Science in Development and Family Studies.

Took great care of our fur babies, everything good when we returned!
As usual Courtney made our trip much less stressful. Thanks for taking such good care of our little men. They are both divas but Courtney managed their moods and this slighting anxious pet mama perfectly.
Reliable, experienced and personable! So happy when she's available to stay at my house to take care of my fur babies.
Courtney, did a wonderful job with our boys. We have a shy cat and he took right to her. She sent regular pictures and did regular check-in’s. We feel lucky to have found her. She made our vacation much less stressful. We will definitely use her again or you recommend everybody else use her except if we need her at that time. 😉
Courtney is the best. She always takes great care of our pups!

Schedule
I am currently working part-time from home with the ability to schedule based on the needs of the animal and would have plenty of time for quality care either in my own home or yours, whichever would suit your needs best.

Safety, trust & environment
I am comfortable caring for your pet in whatever environment you would prefer, including leashing them in a public park space or exercising them in their home environment. I would be happy to discussed any preferred place of care.
Pets
A typical day
I have a large backyard in which I would be able to exercise any dog visiting with me. Additionally, there are many dog friendly parks in my area. I have preferred parks in the areas as well as walking trails I enjoy if I am watching an active dog.
