Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher & Trusted Pet Caregiver
I'm a teacher with a flexible summer schedule and a big heart for animals. Whether it's walks, belly rubs, playtime, or keeping your pet company while you're away, I'm here to help and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I've been a dog owner for over six years and currently have two German Shepherds, ages 5 and 6, whom I've raised since they were puppies. I've spent countless hours researching dog behavior, training techniques, nutrition, and enrichment to help them grow into happy, well-adjusted companions. And trust me, it has been a challenge! Caring for large, energetic breeds has given me experience with daily walks, playing fetch ALL DAY :) , basic obedience training, administering medications when needed, and understanding canine body language. I am no expert, but I know that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to build trust and provide patient, attentive care. While I am fairly new to Rover, rest assured that I am very experienced. I have been taking care of my friends', family and neighbors' dogs for years. I'll treat your pets with the same love, respect, and attention that I give my own every day.

Safety, trust & environment
Because I have two German Shepherds at home who prefer not to have unfamiliar animals or visitors in their space, I currently focus on drop-in visits and walks. This allows me to provide dedicated care for your pets while ensuring my own dogs remain comfortable and happy at home.
Ratings and reviews
Courtney was awesome! Ginger got used to her quickly and seemed very happy to see her every time. Courtney was also very punctual. That was helpful too.
Courtney took exceptional care of our older Lab while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the thoughtful photos and detailed updates after each visit—they made it easy to see that our dog was happy and well cared for. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, kept an eye on our house, and even went above and beyond by helping us out with an extra visit when we needed it. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
There’s no one I trust more to take care of my two dogs when I’m away than Courtney. She takes joy in taking care of the dogs and is 100% reliable. My dogs are medium sized and one needs to take Trazadone to stay chill while we’re gone. Courtney knows how to work with dogs who need equal parts love and structure. Couldn’t recommend her more.
The absolute best there is. She played with our dogs every day and by the time we got back they were already best friends with her. She was AMAZING!!!
Courtney is fantastic! She was the first person to stay with my 11 week old puppy the first time I left him and has hung out with him many times since. He loves her! With her own two dogs, she has lots of experience, down to things like giving big, stubborn dogs medicine.

Schedule
Summer break gives me the opportunity to spend my days doing something I enjoy, caring for animals! As a teacher, I have a flexible summer schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week.
