Let me know if there are any accommodations that I need to make sure to be aware of while taking care of your fur baby!

A typical day

I like to play with your fur babies to help them both physically and mentally! It can be hard on pets when their people are away, so I try to do both physically and mentally engaging activities based on the needs on each pet.

Animal lover and PhD student!

Pet care experience

I've taken care of a variety of different animals from the age of 10! Dogs, cats, chickens, birds, mice, rats, guinea pigs, chameleons, etc. You name it, I probably have taken care of one at some point in my life! I have two kitties of my own and love all animals. I know how stressful boarding animals can be and would love to help reduce your anxiety so you can enjoy your time away from home as much as possible!

Courtney is an attentive & punctual sitter who follows instructions to the letter! She is communicative & always gets some playtime & pets in. I’m especially grateful for her patience with my cat’s sassy attitude!

Courtney took great care of our 2 cats and we had peace of mind on our trip. She left detailed notes for us and sent lots of photos :)

Courtney was so great with my cat Moon! I really appreciated all the photos they took of Moon while I was away and the check ins. Courtney also provided her with lots of playtime. I highly recommend her for your cat sitting needs!
