Flexible, thoughtful, experienced

Pet care experience

I've been caring for mostly cats (indoor and outdoor) for 3/4 of my life. I've had my own cats since the age of 8 and been caretaking outdoor strays and feral cats since my high school years. I have experience with new born kittens and their queens, first aid, admistering medication of all kinds, trimming nails, Sanitary shaves and other basic Grooming, and day to day routines all hours of the day and night. I have experience with dogs as well but not as much as cats. I'm very open to caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and breeds!

Courtney was wonderful with my very skittish cat. Zoey is very shy but Courtney made sure she was always comfortable and not anxious. She left trails of treats as I asked and was excellent about cleaning Zoey's litter box and food bowls. She promptly updated me after each visit. I am looking forward to my next trip so Zoey and Courtney can have more fun times together.

Courtney has done an amazing job taking care of both of the two cats we have. One boy and one girl. Both with different personalities. Courtney sent both me and my husband updates. Above and beyond service. Wish I could upload photos to show her work and how well my cats were taking care of.

Courtney is amazing with cats and they love her as much as she loves them. She's very knowledgeable about cat behavior and always knows what's going on in their little heads. She is extremely trustworthy and friendly.

At the moment I have two 4 year old cats of my own that I've loved and cared for since the womb! I was befriended by a stray queen and I cared for her during her pregnancy outdoors and indoors to keep her as comfortable as possible. She ended up nesting on the floor of the back seat of my car! She gave birth smoothly but the 5 cats did experience cat flu and a viral infection. I nursed them back to full health, adopted out the litter (minus my two) and still care for outdoor babies to this day. With this experience, I'm seasoned in round the clock routines, keeping things Sanitary, and being gentle with first aid and Grooming. I brush my cats teeth and clip their nails and offer that service as well.

A typical day

I'm mobile and very excited to take your doggo to a dog park, a regular park, lots of playing and affection! If you have a cat, lots of nice brushing, feather playing, and giving your dogs and cats their favorite treats! (Not more than instructed)
