Cat lover in her dog mom era
Pet care experience
I have 2 cats and a 5 m/o mini aussie. Since I was little, I have had cats and boxer dogs. I WFH so my schedule is flexible and I am a very active person, ready for extended walks/runs/playtime and enrichment with your pets! I also have some experience informally training puppies.
Reviews
Courtney has been fantastic with my foster dog, Mars. Mars has leash reactivity towards other dogs and squirrels (and even had some issues with other people when I first got him!) Courtney has been a total pro at handling his energy and working with him on certain commands. I will definitely use her again for any dog walking needs I have, and highly recommend her to others.
Courtney was great. She took care of my Sophie, who can be a handful. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and a walk report. We will be using her again.
Patient with our scared dog and took him on a nice walk
Courtney was very response and a huge help. Followed instructions perfectly and had no issues.
About Courtney V.
Communication
Skills
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!

Information Courtney V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how your dog is around other dogs as well as their leash manners which is helpful for me to provide a safe visit for everyone :)
A typical day
I am able to do some informal training and mental stimulation games with your pup; go to the dog park (upon request), and any other snuffle mat/lick mat enrichment activities to tire them out both physically and mentally. My top priority is your dog’s safety and overall well-being during these activities.
