Pet care experience
My family has had dogs ever since I was a young child. I grew up on a small farm with beef cattle, so I learned at a young age about responsibility and how to take care of animals from the dogs to the cows. Once I was on my own in 2012, I became a Pug Mom. I got my pug, Maggie, when she was a puppy and she is now 11 years old. Then, late in 2013, I adopted an approximately 5 year old pug named Winston. In January 2021, I put Winston, down. He was 12 years old and his ability to walk had deteriorated. Maggie was an only fur child until I decided to adopt again, I recently adopted another black pug named Cole, and he's approximately 2 years old.
Reviews
Courtney was very reliable! I will definitely reach out to her again in the future when I go out of town.
Courtney takes time and goes the extra mile. Thank you, Courtney!
Courtney was very conscientious and patient with my special needs dog. I would recommend her to any of my dog loving friends. And I would use her again, no question.
Super reliable and very sweet with our cats.

Maggie has been my "problem-child" because it took awhile to figure out which dog food works best with her due to her sensitive stomach and dog allergies. Therefore, if your dog has similar special care, I will follow your instructions to a tee because I know, first-hand, how important it is to restrict dogs of certain foods to prevent any reactions.
Information Courtney M. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting for a dog, I would like to know how s/he is around new people and other dogs. I would also like to know if the dog has any history of biting or any other kind of aggressive behavior. Most importantly, I would want to know about the dog's diet and any dietary restrictions, as well as any medication that would need to be administered to the dog. I do not have any breed preferences, I am open to all breeds :)
A typical day
I am an avid walker, so if you're dog is up for it, I'll take your dog on a 3 mile walk with me. I'll also play with your dog and their favorite toys.

I love taking Maggie and Cole to dog parks and to Pug meet-up groups in my area. I put treats in plastic Easter Eggs on Easter and have them go on a small Easter egg hunt in my living room; celebrate their birthdays with pup cupcakes; and dress them up for Halloween.
