Pet care experience

Care that feels like home.

I have 15 years of experience caring for dogs of every size, age, and energy level, plus 2 years in daycare and boarding. Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to actually learn what makes your dog comfortable rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. I'm experienced administering medication, including for dogs recovering from surgery, both oral meds and topical ointments. I'm also currently building my skills in dog training, working hands-on with clients on things like impulse control and redirection, so if there are commands or behaviors you'd like reinforced during their stay, I'm happy to work on them together. I require a meet-and-greet with all new clients before confirming any booking, so we can make sure it's a good fit for your dog before anything is scheduled. Use code COURTR17402 for $40 off your first booking!

Safety, trust & environment

In a client's home, I treat the space and routine as if they were my own, following your dog's usual feeding, walk, and bedtime schedule closely so nothing feels disrupted. I'm experienced in administering medication and comfortable handling health needs. Doors, gates, and leashes are always secured, and I do regular check-ins so you always know how things are going.

Courtney did an incredible job watching my pups while I was on vacation. She did a great job keeping me updated on all of their activities.

Courtney did a fantastic job! She was very responsible and all three of my pets enjoyed her attention. Upon my return, the house was just as I left it, and it was nice to know someone was taking care of my fur-children while I was away. Because one of my dogs is growly around other dogs, Courtney does not have a dog of her own. That made the situation more palatable for my anxious boy. Overall, I'd certainly book her again!

Courtney saved me when I needed a walker last minute and I was out of town! She is super communicative and kind-hearted and I know my little Bella enjoyed hanging out with her. Definitely recommend her.

Courtney is a trustworthy dog sitter that always checks in and makes sure all your dog needs are met. I would recommend her to friends and family. She truly loves all dogs and it shows through her pet sitting services.

Courtney is wonderful! She is very attentive. She even sent me updates with cute pictures of my pup while I was away. I highly recommend her and will keep her in mind the next time I need a sitter.

Courtney watched my pup and was amazing! She sent me pictures throughout the stay and even brought him to the riverwalk. Upon meeting Courtney, you can truly see her love for dogs! If I wasn’t moving, I’d use her all the time!

Schedule

Right now, pet care is a huge focus for me. I work just 1-2 days a week as a receptionist at White Pine Vet, so I have a lot of flexibility to work around your schedule rather than squeezing visits in around a 9-to-5. Whether it's a single drop-in, daily walks, or an extended overnight stay, I have the time to give your dog consistent, unrushed attention rather than a quick in-and-out.
