Hi, I’m Courtney! I have over 25 years experience caring for dogs of all ages. They are always so full of joy, love and adventure - it’s contagious to be around them! Our home has a huge fenced-in backyard. My husband Ryan is a dog lover as well and will help care for any pups we are hosting. We have four kids, ages 14, 13, 7 and 3.5. We have 2 Labrador retrievers who are very welcoming to new friends. They are old ladies that enjoy laying in the sun, sniffing around the yard and relaxing around the house, so we’d prefer a dog that isn’t super high energy or climbs on other dogs. We also have 2 cats so would need to be sure your dog is respectful of and safe around cats. Because we have small children, we need to be sure your pup feels comfortable around the noise/fast movements, etc. Our children love and respect animals because it's (obviously) incredibly important to me! I believe all animals deserve to enjoy special attention especially when their family is away! I will be glad to send pictures of your babies whenever I care for them. I think communication between a sitter and the family is super important so if you have any requests or concerns I would love to talk about it!
