Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I ensure they feel safe and secure by following their usual schedule, providing plenty of attention, and keeping their environment clean and stress-free. Trust and communication are key—I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while away. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, I always make sure pets receive the care, exercise, and affection they need in a way that feels familiar and comfortable to them.

Information Courtney R. would like to know about your pet

1. Daily Routine & Care Needs – Feeding schedule, potty breaks, exercise needs, and any specific habits or preferences. 2. Behavior & Temperament – How they react to strangers, other animals, or certain environments, and any fears or anxieties (e.g., separation anxiety, loud noises). 3. Health & Medical Information – Any allergies, medications, or medical conditions that require attention.

A typical day

Each pet’s needs are different, but my goal is always to make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. During drop-in visits, I provide fresh water, food (if needed), and plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company. For walks, I tailor the experience to each pet’s energy level—whether it’s a leisurely stroll to sniff and explore or a brisk walk for exercise. If a pet loves playing fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive games, I make sure to incorporate that into our time together. No matter the activity, I ensure pets get the care, engagement, and companionship they need while keeping pet parents updated along the way!

Trustworthy, Tail-Wagging Care!

Pet care experience

Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was five years old, and for the past five years, I’ve helped breed and raise American Bullies, ensuring they receive love, care, and proper socialization before finding their forever homes. Raising puppies from birth has given me hands-on experience with training, structure, and patience—skills that I bring to every pet I care for. Currently, I have my own dog, Russ, a lovable 7-year-old terrier mix, and my 18-month-old daughter, who absolutely adores dogs. Because of this, I understand the importance of finding a pet sitter who is not only experienced but also dependable, trustworthy, and professional. I pride myself on my superb communication skills, keeping pet parents updated every step of the way, so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I treat every furry friend as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that you can trust!

Courtney was very good with our pup Tolkien. She took him on two walks and took lots of pictures. She did very well at giving him his meds on time and making sure he was happy. Highly recommend her services.

Courtney is longtime pet lover and is a phenomenal doggie mom of two herself. She has a passion for the safety, security and overall well being of animals. She has stood in for me as "doggie mom" on many occasions and my pets were cared for with the same love and care that I would have given them!

I recommend Courtney R. as a dog sitter because she really does put the welfare of the fur babies first. She has cared for my pet on many occasions and Chanel just loves her. Call Courtney's name and she races to the door.
