Pet care experience
LGBTQ+ COVID Vaccinated + Booster To keep it simple and to the point: I love dogs and dogs love me. The way our energies work together, is all that we need to develop a wonderful, lasting relationship. I spend as much time with dogs as possible. It is therapeutic for me. I would be with a dog 24/7 if I could. Why wouldn’t I want to do this? You want someone who is going to care for your dog like you do. Someone who will give him or her the love that you would, if you could be there. That is what I do. I wouldn't know how to do it any other way. Let me take care of your companion while you are away... you'll be glad that you did.
Reviews
Courtney is the BEST!
Courtney is an amazing dog sitter! We were looking for someone that was as excited to play with our puppy as we are and she was the person. Our pup is so excited to see her snd she is very responsive and open to our suggestions for doing activities to entertain our pup. She sends lots of pics so that is great too!
Courtney is terrific. She was hyper communicative and responsive. She sent tons of pictures and left lots of details about how the stay went which were helpful to us. She had a full house with our two cats and our 14 week old puppy and she did a great job taking care of everyone. We highly recommend her!
This was first time using Rover and our first time leaving our two 10-month old kittens (cats now?!?). We could not have asked for a better sitter with Courtney. While we missed our kitties while were away (5 days/4 nights), Courtney took perfect care of Muenster + Gouda, sent pics + updates throughout the day and made us feel less anxious about leaving them so we could enjoy our time away. Our kitties definitely quickly warmed up to Courtney while we were gone - which is easy to do with one of them but not so easy with the other - impressed we were :) We came back to some well taken care of and happy kitties. We’ll definitely be using Courtney’s services next time we travel and can’t take our kitties!

Routine = Less Pet Anxiety One of the most important things for our furry friends is routine. Therefore, I try to keep your daily schedule as close to what you have established.
Information Courtney S. would like to know about your pet
Breed, if the dog has been around other animals, behavior traits, etc. While I completely understand that sometimes last minute requests are unavoidable, I do generally prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand. Not just for us, but for your pup to feel more comfortable with a stranger in their home. **Visits that require your sitter to cross a toll road, may be asked to pay an additional fee per visit. Your final rate will be discussed and agreed upon before booking.
A typical day
Cuddle/Snuggle time is very important to me. Developing a bond with a dog is the first thing I do. I need to make sure that your dog and I have a connection and that your dog feels loved and taken care of in your absence. Making sure he or she has enough water and getting their meals, as well as playing fetch or tug, running around outside, etc. to get the exercise dogs need is equally as important.

I am an actress and voice over artist. When I’m not doing that, I work from home. Both of these jobs allow me a lot of flexibility to spend quite a lot of time with your fur babies.
