Pet care experience

Downtown flexible pet sitter!

I live downtown-adjacent. I current work a very flexible from from home job for a charity. I own a small pomsky who loves being around other dogs. I have lived and looked after both cats, dogs and snakes and love pets of all kinds! I am very high-energy and love a companion for long walks or runs and with my flexible schedule I can stick to whatever timings for meals or walks your pet is used to. I live a couple blocks from a dog park and by the canal so lots of local green space is available. I am a relaxed and easy-going person with a lot of patience-I have fostered ill pets before so am used to giving some medications, I have had both a German shepherd, a mixed mutt and I have regularly looked after a toy poodle so enjoy both large and small dogs. I am training for a 10k so if any pups love going for runs I am open to that! I also love long walks along the canal which is a couple of blocks from my building. I am 6’3 and tall/sturdy enough to handle energetic or larger pups!

Courtney has taken care of Hudson regularly and is amazing! She sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. She's very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Hudson enjoys his stays :)

My dog and cat look happy after staying 3 days with Courtney. Her flexibility saved me and my messed up schedule. During their stay, she sent me pics and kept me undated. Very easy communication, and great location too!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My schedule is very flexible. I occasionally go downtown for class or a meeting but when looking after a dog I never leave for more than a couple hours and can ensure I’m around when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

**I took a break dog sitting when taking in my own dog. He is a small dog who is well trained and is very social with other dogs so I will only be accepting clients whose pets are friendly with other dogs. Or if they are not I am open to drop-in’s, walks, and house sitting also

A typical day

I love early morning walks along the canal to wake up for the day! I start work at 10am so like to have a good walk first thing. Depending on the ice and the dog I have taken dogs I’ve looked after jogging with me in the afternoons which they love. I will go to the dog park but only after I know the behaviour of the dog/how it interacts with others and if the owner approves as I know there are varying opinions.

Let me know if there is any specific training you’d dog is undergoing. What you are working on and what the general issues are. I am very open to keeping a consistent training schedule and boundaries for your dog to make both our lives easier!
