Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle loving care for your pets!
Hello! I absolutely love cats & dogs and have cared for animals since childhood, starting with my own family pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping friends, neighbours, and clients with dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care, including caring for a senior blind dog over the course of a summer. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and energy levels. Some pets love long walks and playtime, while others simply want calm companionship and routine. I always try to make animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have no pets in my home, so your pet would have a quiet environment and plenty of attention during overnight stays if needed. My schedule is flexible, and I’m typically home mornings and evenings and away for shorter periods during the afternoon. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can feel relaxed knowing how your pet is doing throughout the day. I’m attentive, reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is always for your pet to feel happy, safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. If I am house sitting, you will return to a clean and happy home! I would love to build long-term relationships with regular clients in Victoria and the surrounding area.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Courtney is a great pet sitter and was very patient with my shy boy. I felt very comfortable knowing that she would be keeping an eye on him. I’ll definitely be messaging her again when I need a pet sitter.
It’s very clear that Courtney is a dog lover, as every time Willow is outside , now that Courtney has left, Willow goes to the guest suite door waiting for Courtney, as that is where they stayed.
Words cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for Courtney. I had been asked to visit family only a week in advance- and Courtney readily accepted the last minute request. She watched my two cats, who were bummed they had to leave “camp fun” and come home with me after. I can be a bit of a worry wart when I leave my cats, but Courtney quickly eased any worries from our first meet and greet. She is calm, kind and overall lovely. My one cat Biscuit gets bad allergies and anxiety and often will cause him to scratch himself badly when I go away- but not with Courtney. She was amazing at giving Biscuit’s stubborn self his meds. She communicated well with me and was so great. Would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Thank you!!
Courtney was great! We'd book in with her again.
Courtney was very easy to communicate with and was really accommodating with all of my senior cat’s needs. He came from the weekend at her house seeming very relaxed and contented. Thanks again, Courtney!
Courtney is amazing. She stayed at our place for a week and you couldn’t even tell! You’d be lucky to have her keep your babies !

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets the same way their owners would with consistency, love, and attention to detail. For in home stays: pets receive affection, playtime, and comfort. Cats have daily litter cleaning and scheduled feedings at their usual times, while dogs get two walks per day, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of pets and love. For dog walks: I make sure they’re happy and refreshed with potty breaks, light grooming if needed so they’re clean when they return, and treats or feedings as directed. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, cared for, and loved just like they are with you.
A typical day
Depending on what your dog prefers: we can keep it light and stay close to the neighbourhood parks. Explore neighbourhoods, head to the beach areas
