Your Dog’s Home Away From Home I’m back! After taking some time away from Rover to grieve the loss of my mom and dad, I’m ready to care for your beloved furbabies once again. Thank you for your patience and support. I’ve been a veterinary technician for over 12 years and continue to work part-time in the field. Caring for animals has been my passion since childhood. I'm Fear Free Certified and experienced with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or a calm and cozy space to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I'm comfortable administering all types of medications, including injections, and I specialize in both puppy and senior care. And it’s not just dogs and cats—I also care for birds, reptiles, and other exotic pets (additional fee may apply depending on the species and care required). Let me be your pet’s second home—you can travel with peace of mind knowing they're in expert hands with a loving heart.

Boarding • Nov 03, 2025

The first two days, communication was terrible. I had to constantly ask for updates, and her responses were delayed. After I spoke with her, she started sending updates more frequently. To be honest, I’m not completely sure how well she handled my dog’s needs since communication wasn’t great, but my dog seemed fine when I picked him up. She did informed that her phone was acting out. However, I’m trusting in some else with my dogs life the least expected is a great communication. Before scheduling the boarding, I was very specific about my senior dog’s needs (he’s a 15-year-old dachshund who’s going blind and has frequent accidents). I know that requires extra care, but she said she was comfortable with it. Unfortunately, it seems she didn’t pay much attention, and as I had warned her, my dog ended up peeing on his bed and on himself I guess that a couple of times. Thankfully, he was okay just smelly.

Courtney is the sweetest. Was very simple and easy to communicate about our baby Zulfi. We also got updates and daily pictures. He got tons of love with her and her family. Will definitely book with Courtney again in the future.

Courtney and her family couldn’t have been a better choice for our first time on Rover. We went out of the country for 9 days and she sent us updates, pictures and videos daily. We will definitely be using her again.

So grateful for finding Courtney and her sweet family on Rover! Courtney and her family did such a great job with our puppy Bash! She was completely communicative about drop off/pick up and sent frequent updates with pics and videos! I love that she socialized him with her kids, family pets and gave him lots of outdoor/potty time! She even sent him home with a party “doggie” bag that included a picture magnet of him, a pet emergency tag, treats and a training toy!! We will definitely be using Courtney and Rover again. 5 stars ⭐️ service!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I know how scary it can be to leave your baby with someone new, but I promise to treat them like my own—with love, patience, and care. I’ll send you daily updates with pictures and videos so you can see how they’re doing. You’re always welcome to message me any time—they're on your mind, and I’ll respond promptly. Many first-time clients have shared how comfortable and confident they felt after seeing how happy their pets were in my care. Your pet means the world to you—and mine do to me too. I take that responsibility seriously and follow all instructions exactly as you provide them. You can trust me to create a safe, happy, and familiar environment for your furry family member. --- Additional Services: • Drop-off and pick-up available (up to 2 pets max) • Baths – $20 for small dogs, $30 for medium • Nail trims – $15 per pet • Unlimited snuggles, love, and nose boops – always free! --- Please Note: • Drop-offs or pick-ups outside of 7am–7pm may require an additional fee based on the time. • I cannot accept dogs that are aggressive toward other dogs or children.

Pets

A typical day

I have a large, fully fenced backyard where your pup can soak up the sun, run, and play to their heart’s content! If you have a senior pet who prefers a cozy nap, I’ve got several comfy beds and quiet spots inside where they can relax peacefully. Your pet will also have the option to enjoy the company of my two friendly dogs, Daisy and Uno, who love meeting new friends and are great with other pups. However, if you'd prefer your dog be kept separate, that’s absolutely no problem—I’ll always prioritize your preferences and your pet’s comfort. For dog boarding and daycare services, feel free to bring your dog’s food, favorite toys, treats, and bed—anything that helps them feel more at home. I do everything I can to create a loving, familiar environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and part of the family.
