I work for myself from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can be present throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to keep things as consistent as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always a priority. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashing, and I keep things secure and low-stress while your pet is in my care. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and settled. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime, and I treat your home with respect so you can return to a calm, well-kept space.
Information Courtney M. would like to know about your pet
I always appreciate knowing your pet’s routine, personality, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Feeding schedules, favorite activities, quirks, and preferences are all helpful. No detail is too small, I’d always rather know more than less. If your pet has any medical needs, medications, or specific behaviors (like anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies), sharing that ahead of time helps me care for them as safely and thoughtfully as possible. Vet information, emergency contacts, and any important safety notes are also great to have, just in case. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet to make sure it feels like a good fit for everyone.
A typical day
I like to tailor the day to your pet and what they’re used to, so things feel fun but still familiar. For dogs, that usually looks like walks, playtime, and a mix of physical and mental stimulation, along with downtime so they can relax. If they need a little more space, I’m happy to use a long lead for safe, supervised roaming, and I stick to calm, controlled environments as much as possible. For cats, it’s a mix of play, feeding, litter care, and the kind of attention they prefer, whether that’s cuddles, chasing toys, or just a calm presence nearby.

Reliable, Loving Care You Can Trust
Pet care experience
I’ve loved animals all my life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. I follow their routine, respect their preferences, and help them feel comfortable. I understand that pets are pieces of our hearts walking outside our chests, and I take that responsibility seriously. My cat Lily has been my best friend for over ten years, her younger brother Rowan keeps me on my toes with his medical needs, and my squishy-faced bulldog is the center of my family’s world. Because of them, and nearly two decades of hands-on experience, I’m familiar with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. You can expect clear, consistent communication, with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Reviews
Courtney was great! She took great care of our dog and was a great communicator. She was so professional and could definitely tell she made our dog feel comfortable!
Courtney was FANTASTIC for our two XL pups! She was incredibly responsive, gave us a bunch of updates while we were away, and was great with our boys. House was spotless when we returned and you can really tell she loves being with animals. Will definitely be booking with her again!
Courtney is the best pet caregiver you could ask for. She is responsible, attentive and extremely trustworthy. I have left my dogs and cats in her care many times and she has gone above and beyond to make sure they are well loved in my absence (I'm pretty sure my dogs wanted to stay with her forever!) I always worry when I leave my animals, but when I leave them with Courtney I am 100% sure they will be safe and secure. Courtney is a kind person and easy to communicate with as well. Cannot recommend enough!
I can’t recommend Courtney highly enough. She is a true animal lover through and through, and it shows in the way she cares for every pet she meets. She has taken care of both my puppy and my elderly dogs over the years, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. Courtney is incredibly dependable, thoughtful, and communicative. While I’m away, she regularly sends updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. She takes the time to really connect with animals, whether that means playful energy for a young pup or gentle, attentive care for older dogs. She also has experience managing pets with specific medication and dietary needs, which is something I deeply value. Beyond caring for my pets, she is respectful of my home and leaves everything in great shape. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets and your home, Courtney is your gal!
