Where goodbye isn’t so hard

Pet care experience

Nice to meet you! My name is Courtney! I am 23 years old and currently live in Bristow, Virginia! I created my business because I too struggled to find a reliable dog sitter for my pets. I wanted to provide professional, trustworthy care to my fellow pet owners. People have described me as confident, responsible, and compassionate. I am very passionate about working with pets. I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs, ranging from all dog breeds and sizes. Take me to a dog park and I can tell you about every single dogs play style, body language and behavior. My dog sitting and boarding sets me apart from other sitters because I have studied the canine mind and know that dogs have additional needs such as enrichment and reinforcement; Which is essential for a healthy and happy dog. I am extremely knowledgeable in a wide variety of dog health issues, as I’ve worked with blind dogs, deaf dogs, and dogs with special needs. “Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.” George Eliot My daycare hours are Monday-Friday, from 9AM-5:30PM. On Tuesdays, drop off is at 8:45AM. Weekends are on a case by case basis. If for some reason the drop off and pick up hours don’t work, we can change it on a case by case basis with a week in advance notice. My drop off times for boarding range from AM to PM. My am drop off times are between 8-10AM, and PM from 5-7PM. Drop off in the mornings will count as a full day of day care. Usually, owners will do a night drop off and a morning pickup. I appreciate owners being as close to a planned time as possible to allot time for myself and other clients.

Courtney took care of our 11 month old Akita as if she was her own dog. Courtney is the best! She’s knowledgeable about dogs and even provided tips on training.

Courtney did a great job with our 2 kitties! She was very easy to communicate with and sent us lots of updates throughout the time we were gone. She was always quick to answer any questions we had, and even sent us photo updates! She did everything exactly how we asked, and we returned home to 2 healthy and happy kitties, and a clean home. It was clear that our cats enjoyed her company and were happy to see her every day. Courtney went above and beyond expectations, and even spent extra time at our home looking for one of our cats when he was hiding and wouldn't come out to eat. She made sure he was ok, and even made an extra visit to check on him. We will definitely trust Courtney with our furry friends again on the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I have an entire room dedicated to my dogs and dogs who stay with me. For my clients homes, I follow whatever their dogs usual routine is, to keep them most comfortable. I usually recommend senior dogs and dogs with health conditions to stay at their own home, so they have less anxiety. A lot of dogs have a bit of anxiety away from home, which is why I incorporate mind enrichment sessions and structured walks daily.

Please let me know any behavioral issues ahead of time. Aggression, guarding, etc. Usually I do a consult prior to boarding or home stays, daycare etc!

My dogs are very structured during the day, there is always something to look forward to. I have canine fitness equipment that I often use with the dogs I have to prevent boredom. I am a huge hiker, so I am always outside and hiking when it’s nice out.
