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).
Reviews
We have used Courtney for years and she always takes such good care of our little fur babies! 😻 She is simply the best!
Courtney went above and beyond to look after our two cats for almost three weeks. We are so grateful and cannot thank her enough!
Courtney is excellent with our older cat who sometimes has a lot of hairballs. She is extremely communicative and takes great care of our cat and home. We appreciate her thoughtfulness so much !
Courtney is the best she’s so thoughtful and attentive and she really knows animals! She paid attention to every queue from my dog and I always feel good knowing she’s taking such good care of him. She’s a pro!

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.
