I am a dog and cat purr-son
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
Amazing pet sitter! Highly recommend! Not only is Courtney fantastic with your fur babies but she is great in the communication department as well! She house/pet sit for us this weekend and it couldn’t have gone better. Huge sense of relief having someone you can trust.
Courtney is awesome! She had sent many pictures and small updates about my 2 German Shepherd dogs And cat while I was gone. She dogs seem very happy in every picture and even sent me pictures of them on walks. She even made sure to keep the floor clean due to mud from the Tropical Storm !! Courtney for the win! I would definitely recommend her!
To say Courtney went above and beyond when taking care of our favorite furry friends doesn’t come close to the truth! Her excellent communication and care for not just our dogs and home gave us priceless peace of mind during a long trip away. 11/10. Will book again!
Courtney was great with our dogs and was in communication with us during our entire trip! We will definitely continue to have her watch our dogs and house in the future. Absolutely recommend!

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.
Information Courtney R. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I love playing fetch with dogs and helping them run around and expel their energy so they are all tuckered out for a good nights sleep. I do not have any particular places I like to take dogs on walks but I'll always make the best of any location. Trying to stay close to home and walk any trails or paths nearby.

Availability
I have a flexible schedule working from home four days a week, with the exception of Tuesdays when I commute to my office building in Norfolk. On those Tuesdays, midday check-ins may be a challenge due to travel time. However, for the rest of the week, I can work from your home and attend to your pets' needs. My workday typically concludes at 4 PM, so as soon as I finish, I can promptly come over to care for and check up on your beloved pets. Since my job is mostly remote, I can also work from your home, ensuring continuous care and quality time with your pets throughout the day and into the evening.
