Safety, trust & environment

My background in professional dog training means that I understand each dog is a unique individual. If your dog is nervous around new people, easily excitable, or just a well-rounded lovebug, I will match your dog's energy and give them whatever they need to feel safe and comfortable with me.

Information Courtney U. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any of the below applies to your dog: - Food sensitivities or allergies - Fear, nervousness, or anxiety - Reactive to other dogs on walks - Their favorite toy, snack, or game The more you share about your pup, the better experience I'll be able to give them! I appreciate going in to a meet and greet where the guardian has already given me a bit of information on who their dog is. :)

A typical day

Your dog will set the pace for our walks. Man on a mission trying to get his steps in? Great! We can power walk the entire time. A scenic sniffer who likes to stop and sniff every bush and tree? That's fine by me - I love a good sniffari. While we're walking, I do my best to capture cute photos and videos to send along so you can relax knowing your pup is enjoying himself.

Pet care experience

Courtney U., CPDT-KA Originally from Long Island, New York, I relocated to California in 2017 to pursue a career with Canine Companions. I train service dogs to enhance the lives of people with disabilities, and I am grateful that my path in life has led me to improving the lives of both dogs and their humans. I have loved dogs my entire life - my family's dogs, my friend's dogs, and now through my partnership with Rover, I get to love *your* dogs as well. All breeds, shapes, sizes, and personalities - you name it, I love them. I've had dogs my entire life (Maxie, boxer; Mya, shepherd mix; Coco and Bennie, Maltese siblings; and now currently Kiva, a Formosan Mountain Dog rescued from Taiwan, & Desmo, a boxer mix from New York) and I love caring for, working with, and training them. Kiva and Desmo are two of the most important parts of my life, and I understand that *your* dog is one of the most important parts of your life as well. It's my job to make your pet feel safe, loved, happy, and comfortable.

As always, Courtney is amazing! She is our “Go-To.” We have a big strong Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who loves people and other dogs. Handling him requires competence and skill. We generally don’t feel comfortable leaving him in the care of other people. Courtney is UNIQUE! She is also amazing with the rest of our family (50-lbs Bernadoodle and our cat), and the crew is always happy and healthy when we get home. In addition, she produces the best montage vireos of our pets set to music. Seriously, these can’t be beat while away from home. Finally, Courtney is a very thoughtful and enjoyable person 🐶🐈❤️

Courtney was great, I knew I had the right person to take care of my 5 month old puppy, and home. She was punctual, professional and caring. She updated me frequently, and I was confident all was well while out of town. I will definitely hire Courtney the next time I need a sitter!

Courtney is fantastic in every way and everything. She has superb skills communicating, caring for, and working with dogs. Her joy in working with dogs is radiant. Courtney is smart, big-hearted, responsible, and talented, a very special person. The best present you can give to your dogs is to have them spend a day with Courtney.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
