A Home Away From Home
Pet care experience
It's hard to really say how much experience I've had but I've had many years of experience with animals. I've worked on a horse farm, boarding kennel, and have had personal experience in my own home and others. I currently work in a veterinary hospital and boarding kennel, I am also in school to become a veterinary assistant. I currently have five fur babies of my own. When owners pick me to watch their animals I want to be able to give them a piece of mind that your animal will be treated as one of my own. Anything to make them feel as comfortable as possible during there stay. ( Bed, toys, blankets, food bowls and etc) I also feel it is important to send daily updates of what we have done and send photos. I like to put myself in the owners shoes and say is this what I would want while I am away.
Reviews
Nice family, nice area for my pup to hang out and a spacious backyard. Courtney provided pictures and updates daily. We’ll happily rebook with her if we need another sitter in that area!
Courtney was exceptional in her care for our geriatric girl, Trudy. We received updates and pictures of her daily. Trudy was very happy with her opportunities to run leash-free in Courtney's back yard and have plenty of time to snuggle with the family. I was so happy with the care Trudy received that I am reluctant to have Trudy boarded at a traditional kennel in the future.
I can't say enough good things about Courtney!!! She was quick to respond, polite, flexible with our travel plans and sent us regular updates on our pup. All around just wonderful! I will definitely be using her again!
Great communication and hospitality. Would highly recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter in her area. 10/10 would use her again for dog sitting!

Skills
Information Courtney R. would like to know about your pet
I usually like to get to know your daily routine so I can try to stick with it as much as possible. Anything you can tell me about your animal would be great so I can prepare to make them as comfortable as possible. When do they eat or drink? How much do you typically feed them? Are they crate trained or no? How are they if they have to be left alone for a hour or two and there out and about in the house will they chew? How frequently do you usually take them outside at home? Are they on medication? Do they have a special diet? Can they have treats? Do you prefer our dogs interact or no? How do they do with thunderstorms or loud noises? How are they potty wise if it rains? Can they be escape artist? Do they have separation anxiety?
A typical day
We live on a cul-de-sac so sometimes we can go for walks down there but only if the owner is comfortable. We also live around the corner from mountain run dog park and again only if the owner is comfortable. We also have a fenced yard with some outside dog toys ( balls and ropes)
