I've always had pets, so taking care of them has always been a priority for me. It's truly muscle memory at this point. I get up and immediately go to take my dog outside. Before going to bed, I allot 20 extra minutes to take my dog outside. It's second nature.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by creating a safe environment for them. I always double-check to make sure nothing is on the floor that they could get into. Pushing things back on the counter in case they jump. And making sure they get extra pets before leaving them to go to work.

Information Courtney R. would like to know about your pet

What type of energy do they have. What they like to do. What their behavior is like. What I need to be looking out for.

A typical day

I would take them to explore new areas and give them the time they want to explore them. Depending on their interests would depend on what we do!

Pet care experience

In 2006, my family adopted an Old English Sheepdog, Zoey. We got Zoey when she was a puppy, and she lived to be 9 before she passed away. In 2013, my dad and step-mom adopted an Australian Shepherd puppy, Molly. Molly was very high energy and needed a job to do, which was stressful for my step-mom so after Zoey passed away, my mom, my sisters, and I had Molly come live with us. Molly was with me for all walks of life, and we lived together just me and her for the past 6 years. As Molly had gotten older, her arthritis became a big deterrent for us, and we adapted as best we could to make her as happy and comfortable as possible. In the years after college, I dog-sat for my family friends and my own friends when they'd travel. It was always enjoyable and a good way to hang out with some pretty cool dogs! They came in all shapes, sizes, and ages! With Maddy the shitzu being 17 and Banor the German Shepherd being almost a year.

Courtney was outstanding. Gave me consistent updates, very easy to communicate with. Will be hiring her in the future.

Courtney has been an animal lover for as long as I have known her. She is very attentive, kind, and will absolutely take great care of your fur babies! She asks to pet every dog she sees and is all around great with animals.

I've known Courtney for many years and she is incredibly responsible, loving and attentive when it comes to animals. I can always count on her to be reliable and take good care of of my pets when I'm away. I couldn't be happier with the care she has provided!
