Information Courtney S. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know beforehand about any allergies your dog may suffer from, as well as any behaviors that might not be encouraged (ie- climbing up on couches). Additionally, if your dog has any behavioral issues (ie, aggression towards other dogs, not liking a certain spot or toy to be handled) I'd like to know that in order to know what to avoid and keep the dog most comfortable. I'm currently able to lift 50-60 pounds so if your dog is much heavier than that I'd like to be informed, just so that I know I can lift and carry your dog in case of an emergency.

Happy to Stay or Go the Distance

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life both in my own home and with friends and family. The first dog I was directly responsible for was a part of my life for sixteen wonderful years, and I'm always glad to help enrich another dog's life. Whether it's by dropping in for some in-house playtime or walking all over the neighborhood, I'm more than willing to make another dog happy if you can't be there. Unfortunately, my availability is not regular as I work another per-diem job, but I know my schedule about a month in advance so I will be able to accommodate both short term and long term appointments. I've provided care to both my own and other senior dogs in the past, so if your dog needs any oral medications or special food/care instructions taken care of I have no problem doing so. I've also cared for various other pets, if your home has more than one furry (or scaly) friend to play with! Currently I have experience with cats, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, bearded dragons, and corn snakes- but if you provide instruction I'll be glad to provide care to any other animals you may have in addition to your dog(s).

As per usual, Courtney is amazing! She was thorough, communicative, and goes above and beyond for our picky cats haha.

Courtney was very helpful with Benji. He had a stomach issue and she handled it perfectly. She is very detail oriented and sensitive. I can recommend her to anyone for dog sitting.

Great sitter. Went above and beyond to try to coax our shy cat out from hiding. Cats are happy and healthy. Thank you again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
