Vet Student Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I’m available to watch your creatures, big and small! I have a bachelor’s degree in biology, with a pre-veterinary track and I am currently in vet school at VMCVM. I can give all meds (orally and SQ), clip nails, go running with your dog, play fetch or anything they need. I have a lot of experience with all animals (small and large)! I am doing this because I enjoy playing with dogs and my dog Gary loves to have friends. I love this because it’s a good way to earn some money while in school full time, but also enjoy the company of pups. I also babysit children or watch other pets if you have any! This includes cats, horses, hamsters and chickens (any animal really). I can also clean houses for an additional charge! For house sitting- I usually stay the night and try to follow your pets daily routine to make sure that they are comfortable while you’re gone. I do have a dog so if you’re requesting house sitting, keep that in mind. He would have to come with me. He is very well behaved and loves all dogs. He respects dogs that don’t want to play but will also play if that’s what they want. We will still follow your let’s daily routine, so if this means they are used to you being gone 8 hours a day, and coming home to go for a walk- that’s what I’ll do! I can bathe your dog for you or even take them for rides in the car. Book today so I can give your pups cuddles!! I truly love what I do and enjoy hanging out with your pets.
Reviews
Courtney did a great job caring for our pets and home for our recent travels. She was sent lots of updates so we didn't worry. Our dogs were well cared for and loved spending time with Courtney and Gary. I wouldn't hesitate to book Courtney again for another trip.
Courtney was amazing with my dog while my husband and I were out of town! She made sure he was well taken care of and even took him on daily walks. I really can't recommend her enough and hope to book her again any time we are away.
Courtney is a wonderful sitter! Gracie was well taken care over a holiday week, and she loved playing with Gary! Gracie has never liked riding in the car, but now when she finds the door open, she climbs in thinking she can go see Courtney and Gary. We will be back!
Courtney was absolutely amazing with two cats while I was away and communicating about how they were doing, including sending photos and videos. She is very thorough in reading through instructions and very caring with the cats. Definitely recommend!

Information Courtney P. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any quirks they may have and their basic needs and information. I have no preferences. All dogs are my favorite!!
A typical day
We can go on walks wherever we can! I love running too, so we can go for runs. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war. Really anything to get them moving so they aren’t bored without you!
