Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat lover in her dog mom era
I have 2 cats (6 and 4 y/o) and 2 Mini Aussies that I love dearly. I’ve spent the majority of my life around cats and Boxer pups, so I have 10+ years of pet care experience. Previously, I was a middle school teacher—since transitioning to a remote job, I have been actively providing pet sitting and care on Rover for over a year and a half across NYC & San Diego. Being a former educator has inspired my approach that is rooted in the golden rule: I care for your pets the way I want my fur babies to be treated, which is with heartfelt care, one tail at a time. Glimpses of my teacher-side still exist, especially since I have been training our mini aussies since she they both were 9 weeks old. I’m more than happy to informally train/reinforce prior training your pup already has. I am hoping to gain more experience in this realm as I would love to one day become a certified dog trainer 🐾 As an added bonus, I’m also Pet CPR/first-aid certified (both cats and dogs) and pet sitter insured so you can remain at ease knowing your pets are in safe hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with DIY dog/cat enrichment & playtime indoors, informal training, and crating (as needed or requested). I also have experience administering meds to both stubborn cats and dogs. Practicing safe hygiene with pets is also important, so ensuring your pups paws and fur are clean and their litter boxes scooped is top priority for me. I will treat your pet like I do my own babies, which is with safety, respect, and endless love and enrichment to ensure their well-being at all times!
Ratings and reviews
Courtney is absolutely wonderful! We never worry when she’s caring for our two cats. Her communication is excellent and our home is always spotless. It’s rare to find someone as kind, attentive and reliable as Courtney. Best of all, our animals are calm, happy and never stressed when we come home. If you want a truly worry free pet visit— book her!
Courtney was a thoughtful, responsive, and caring sitter. Not only did she take great care of our doggies, she also tended to my garden while we were away for 4 days. I will definitely be rebooking!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our pets received! Courtney was exceptional—her communication was clear, timely and reassuring from start to finish. Our home was spotless when we got back and it was clear that great attention and care was paid to our fur babies. We highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional pet sitter!
This was my first time using Rover for a last minute doggy check in & Courtney was great! I love the summary and photos.
Courtney is an excellent and trustworthy dog sitter. I had a last minute trip to visit family and she responded quickly despite the short term notice. I have a camera pointed directly at my dogs kennel and every time I checked it the dog was out and about with Courtney. It’s was very comforting knowing that my dog wasn’t sitting in his crate for hours upon hours. I highly recommend her for all your dog sitting needs and I will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Courtney! :)
Courtney was awesome!! We were out of the country for several days, with a large time difference, and Courtney was great about making sure to send cute pictures and updates each day. She was communicative and responsive, and we were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our cat and dog were being well cared for. 😊
