Chewie gets very anxious when we leave him with someone else, like at the groomers for example, but with Courtney he is very relaxed and free of that anxiety. She’s truly a dog whisperer with her very calm energy. We feel very lucky to have met her and we’re pretty sure Chewie would say the same thing. 🧡

I can’t say enough good things about Courtney. She has been walking my golden retriever, Walter, for the past couple of weeks, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Walter is truly my child, so I’m very particular about who I trust to care for him. Courtney immediately put me at ease. She is dependable, always on time, and—most importantly—it’s obvious that she genuinely cares about Walter. Finding someone you completely trust with your dog isn’t easy, and having Courtney take care of Walter gives me real peace of mind. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. Walter and I are both very happy we found her!

Courtney is a very loving and responsible pet caregiver. She has watched our pets, kids and house several times over the years. Both humans and pets adore her. I never worry about anything when she has taken care of our kids and pets.

Courtney is a very caring and communicative pet sitter. She has a calm presence that the animals sense instantly, our cat instantly trusted her and asked for pets. We would trust her anytime to watch our pets!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I've cared for dogs with strict dietary considerations, high levels of anxiety, blindness, etc. As long as I know ahead of time what your dog needs I will be able to appropriately and lovingly care for them.
