Pet care experience
Don't worry!!! I am here to send lots of pictures so you won't miss out on anything cute your pets do while you're on vacation!!!!!! CHICKENS DUCKS AND SMALL CAGED PETS ARE FREE*!!!!! Ask me about my discounts for rescue dogs!!! I paid for my first game boy when I was 10 with money I made walking dogs for 1 dollar each. My dog is precious to me and she gets everything and anything she wants and your dog will too (largely depending on if what the dog wants is safe for the dog of course.) Overnight boarding will include a dog park visit free of charge at the owners request. I have memory issues due to medical stuff. I really encourage pet owners to leave a care sheet with instructions. Don't worry if it ends up being lengthy, because I would rather have someone write things down for me if they are important to them so that I don't misremember something they said verbally. I'm available around the clock and have safety lights for night walks. I am very flexible and can walk or sit any day of the week. I have experience with special needs and senior dogs and can perform some minor daily veterinary procedures such as a catheter. I live in a fenced duplex near a dog park. I live with my husband and, large mix dog Aiko. I feed my dog twice daily and she gets more walks than she needs. I give her an egg once a week. I have her leash and potty trained and am hoping some day that she could be a therapy dog. When your dog is under my care, that dog is like my own family. If doing overnight care this includes brushing, cleaning any eye boogies, giving them lots of behind the ear scratches. I'll even water your plants and can take care of small pets including: fish, lizards, rodents, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, and more. *with purchase of house sitting or drop in services I work part-time at a steady job that lets me create my own hours, so if you need me on a specific date, as long as I know ahead of time, I am VERY flexible. I include walks for dogs that need them and will treat your dog like I am their personal butler for the day. I have special experience with separation-anxious pets and can accommodate them easily.
Reviews
We were very happy with Courtney. Our dog has epilepsy and she contacted us right away when she started having seizures. It is hard to leave our Penny but we feel that Courtney made it a bit easier for her and made it a lot easier for us.
Courtney sat my handicapped dachshund and was fabulous. She kept me connected and gave me great piece of mind while I was on vacation.
Courtney last minute took on our little farm of animals while we were away at our wedding. She kept us in the loop and did well with all the tasks. You can tell the animals had a great time with her.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Courtney. She sat for our 2 dogs and cat. We came home Sunday and everything was in order. The house was clean, just as we left it. The pets all had their medicine given with special food. The best part was our pets were so relaxed when we came home. You could tell they were happy. Usually the are very anxious the minute we walk in the door. I definitely would recommend Courtney

I have safety lights for walking in the evening and morning. I treat your puppies like my own family and make sure that they are protected and properly cared for. I tend to give extra kisses and treats because I know that most dogs are anxious with their puppy parents gone.
Information Courtney T. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if dogs have any specific anxieties (My dog is scared of inflatable things sometimes for example). Even if it doesn't seem like a big deal, or that it probably won't come up, it's nice to know! I absolutely love to have their vet name and phone number just in case. Any kinds of feeding instructions, the more specific information I have the better! If the dog has any special needs, anything I can do to help out with that.
A typical day
I like to go on walks in the woods because the trails usually smell like flowers. I like to make sure the dogs are hydrated after a walk and usually bring a portable dog bowl with me. If the walk is at night, I have LED lights and walk in well-lit areas. I always carry a doggy bag with me, so if you see me on a walk and need one, just ask!
