I already love your dogs!

Pet care experience

Due to asthma, I can only do long periods of dog-sitting with breeds that don't shed. Varies by breed, but usually I can’t do overnights or I’ll get sick :( But please don’t rule me out completely. I still have a lot to offer your fur baby! I've always been a huge dog-lover, so people have always turned to me when they needed a sitter. I raised my Miniature Schnauzer as a 7-week old puppy, and cared for her through her senior years. 🌈 Therefore, I have experience with puppies and seniors and everything in between. I can help train, bathe, walk, play, and diaper dogs and I’m definitely pro-couch cuddles and pats! :)

Courtney was fantastic! We had several flight delays and she was so flexible with keeping our pup a few extra days. Her dog and my dog became besties and she truly cared for our dog as one of her own.

You cannot find anyone better than Courtney! She is very flexible and she sent daily pictures to keep us updated for our little girl. She loves dogs. You can tell this by how she interacts with her girl Luna. Overall, she is amazing and we will definitely book her again!

Our dog had a very good time with Courtney! Her dog is really nice and played a lot with our dog. I will use Courtney for future needs without hesitation.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment, but I have an extremely large & safe balcony with a potty patch and my complex comes equipped with a lot of spaces for walks and playing. I live within walking distance from West Towne Veterinary Center in case of an emergency (I can also drive there). I have a large playpen for the dogs if you would prefer that, but dogs are allowed to sleep with me and roam the apartment if you allow that. I'm always open to cuddles and playing. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a lot of toys for them to play with. 🌈 I know my profile says I have two dogs, but sadly, Marley went over the rainbow bridge and I’m just not ready to remove her profile. I now have a puppy. She is the most calm puppy you’ll ever meet, and she is well socialized with other dogs. She gets extremely hyper when she meets a new friend, but she calms down after a little bit. If you want, I am open to scheduling calls while you are gone to check in on your fur baby as often as you like! I'm pretty flexible with most rules and will try to keep as close as possible to your schedule if you provide one in order to help you maintain a consistent training schedule! You get to choose! As long as your rules do not drastically interfere with my dog’s schedule and they comply with my apartment complex’s rules. I haven't met them yet, but I know for a fact that I already love your dogs!

Information Courtney Z. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog shed a lot? What medications are they on if any? Are they good around other dogs? What is their schedule for feeding/treats/walks/sleeping?

A typical day

It all depends on what your dog likes! I have lots of fun toys, we can go on walks, go to a park, go for rides in the car… the sky is the limit!

Availability

I'm currently working from home, so I am available anytime to take care of your dogs. Most of the time I will be free to do weekdays, weekends, and overnights depending on the breed. Let me take good care of your fur babies so you can go to work or go on vacation stress free! (Due to asthma/allergies, I can only do long periods of dog-sitting with breeds that don't shed at this time, but don't worry, I'm working with an allergist!)
