Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Besties Trusted Buddy 🐾
I’ve spent many years pet sitting and have been lucky to build lasting relationships with the families and pets I care for. I’ve cared for some pets through different stages of their lives, and many have truly become like family. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, multi-pet households, and pets needing medication or extra care. I follow each pet’s routine and give them plenty of love, patience, and attention. I treat every pet like my own and send regular photos and updates so you can feel at ease knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away💕

Ratings and reviews
Courtney is amazing with dogs! The first time she met ours she was patient, thoughtful, and showed a lot of interest getting to know them. She’s meticulous and can handle any personality quirks they have. She’s truly caring and puts them first. Whatever they need, she’s there. She understands their body language and how they communicate, and I was very confident in her handling our dogs. Lastly, she’s obsessed with them, and I thought I was obsessed! She treats them like her own and the dogs have bonded to her so well. They’re excited to see her, you’d think she was their auntie!
Courtney is friendly, attentive, and respectful of my home. Ozzy loves her walks and treats! Updates come when requested. I completely trust her with him!
We have really enjoyed having Courtney as our pet caregiver. We were nervous to leave our dog (Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix) home, but Courtney immediately reassured us by giving not only excellent and loving care to our dog, but to our two guinea pigs as well. Courtney is very reliable and responsible and has a sweet, kind and caring way with animals. We highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their furry friends!
Courtney has assisted me with both cats and dogs over the past 10 years. She is always timely and very dependable. My pets all love her and you can tell she loves animals too. They are very well taken care of. Also it is commendable that she cleans up after the pets. She also was responsible with giving shots to my cat with diabetes. I highly recommend her!
Courtney is amazing with animals! She truly loves being with them and treats them so well. Our dog absolutely loves her and I would recommend her to anyone!

Schedule
I work a flexible remote job, which allows me to build my schedule around each pet’s routine. I can adjust my hours and work from virtually anywhere, so I’m able to accommodate specific mealtimes, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any other needs your pet has throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since I don’t have kids or other pets, your furry friend will get plenty of one-on-one attention in my home. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether they’re playful and energetic, shy and timid, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them the patience, attention, and care they need. I’m also happy to help with simple things around the house, like bringing in mail and packages, taking out the trash, tidying up, and picking up after your pet. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable and for you to come home to everything just as you left it.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to their age, energy level, personality, and needs. Some pets are happiest relaxing on the couch and getting lots of cuddles, while others thrive on long walks, playtime, and plenty of activity. I follow their cues and let them set the pace. I live near Fort Greene Park, so dogs who enjoy walks and exploring have plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the neighborhood. For pets staying in my home, I also incorporate enrichment and play throughout the day, balanced with plenty of downtime to relax and settle in.
