Pet care experience

I am a dog and cat purr-son

I love all animals of all ages! I grew up with a black lab, loving and keeping up with him during the puppy stage all the way up until his senior relaxed years. In recent years, I have fostered for a local rescue in Suffolk and helped raise my former roommate's cane corso and two adult cats. Now, I'm in an apartment where I can't have pets, I'd love to be able to help you take care of your beautiful furbabies by loving on them and giving them as much (or as little) attention as they desire. If your animal loves scratches, pets, and cuddles - I'm the sitter for you. If your animal is a recluse and only wants me to serve them by means of meals, water, and taking care of their royal thrones - I'm also the sitter for you. I know how to read the room and will be whatever your pet needs until you are back home with them. Can't wait to meet your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your animals as if they were my own. I'll love them and take care of them and shower them with pets, pats, and attention. I'm attentive and thorough. If I notice a change in your animal's behavior or feel a lump or a bump, I'll look into it immediately. As summer approaches ticks are more common and I'm not afraid to inspect and remove the little buggers. The health and safety of your furbabies are my main priority right next to their happiness and comfortability.

Courtney is highly recommended! She’s wonderful with my girls and takes great care of them! She’s able to travel a bit from her home and is able to work from your home so just ideal for a pet sitter! The girls and I would be lost without her! She’s GREAT and we love her lots!

Courtney is wonderful and highly recommended! She immediately bonded with my dogs, loving them and taking the best of care of them. She is truly special and will take phenomenal care of your animals! But don’t ask too much of her as I need her to take care of my girls!!!

This was the second time Courtney watched our dogs and I cannot say enough good things about her! She is prompt to reply and always sends the best updates of our dogs with the best pictures! It’s so great to go on a trip without having to worry about the dogs because you know they are in the best care!

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule: I work from home four days a week, and on one day a week, I work in the office in Norfolk or Richmond. My workday typically concludes at 5 PM, so as soon as I finish, I can come over promptly to care for and check on your beloved pets. Since my job is mostly remote, I can also work from your home if your prefer, ensuring continuous care and quality time with your pets throughout the day and into the evening.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Courtney can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I like to know how they are on a leash. If your dog is not good on a leash this may affect my ability to safely walk your animal. Safety is one of my top priorities for your pet. If your dog is sensitive to loud noises or easily distracted by cars and other animals nearby - that is important information to know as well. It will help me avoid putting your pet in situations where they may be uncomfortable or overly excited. Again both comfort and safety are the most important factors, especially when outside the home.
