I am currently working at a veterinary clinic, but am looking to build up a clientele of pets to take care of! My life revolves around animals and I want to make sure every pet has a good caregiver and someone they can completely trust. ***Please note that at this time, I am not available for overnight stays during house sittings. Please reach out to me for more details about my schedule***

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am a professional dog trainer who graduated from Canisius College in 2019. I have my bachelors of science with a major of Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation with a minor in Zoo Biology and Education. During my time at Canisius, I interned at the Buffalo Zoo as well as SandDancer Canine Swim Therapy. I have worked at two pet resorts between 2016 and 2021, one as a manager. At the pet resorts I worked in boarding, daycare, some grooming, as well as reception. I have also worked at a training facility as the primary trainer (private lessons, group class, and board&train/rescue rehab) and daily operations manager. I have worked with all types of breeds and sizes, as well as many different behaviors and activity levels. I am familiar with all types of training tools! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s) 😊

Courtney was so good to our babies while we were visiting family for the holidays! Each visit we got pictures/videos, and detailed notes letting us know how they were with her and each other! I really appreciated this; that way I felt less anxious about leaving them at home while we were away. I absolutely will be rebooking with her in the future. 😊
