Pet care experience
Currently I am not accepting new clients, I am still available for past pet clients. Dogs have always been a part of my life, I am the kid who was followed home by strays. Over the last five years I have started to open my home to friends and family, long-term foster dogs, and now I am opening it to you and your furry family. I am a certified trainer with Big Paws Canine and have a broad understanding of dog behavior, nutrition, and health. I am always looking to teach my dogs and myself something new! My house is active, with a retired Area Search K9, a Area Search K9 in Training, and whoever is visiting or training with me. I recently lost my 16 year old pug Pugsley to the rainbow bridge. I work with the school district, so I am available all day on school holidays. On school days I am available before 7:30am and after 3:15pm. On Sunday's I do K9 SAR training from Noon - 3ish. I believe in crate use for dog safey, I have a spare guest kennel available. I kennel during feeding times and if I am away from the house. We have camera's in the living room and fenced in yard for security. We also have key pad access for pet parents if my schedule doesn't match yours!
Reviews
We are repeat customers with Courtny. I can’t say enough about the peace of mind we have when she is taking care of our dog, Brody. Thank you, Courtny!! See you soon!
One more time Courtny has been amazing! Highly recommend her service as usual.
Courtny did awesome with my Groot and Lucy. Even my grumpy Lucy warmed up to her. I will definitely book Courtny again. $20 tip.
I always know our dog will be well taken care of when Courtny stops over. She’s our go-to dog sitter! Thank you, Courtny!

Safety, trust & environment
In my house all dogs are kenneled during meals and if I am not in the room with them. I can Kennel rotate if anyone is struggling with getting along. In clients homes I am very aware of keeping doors closed, and watching for door dashers. When taking animals outside in their enclosed yard I stay with the animal(s). If there is no enclosure, I leash the animals to my waist belt so nobody can slip from my hands.
Information Courtny N. would like to know about your pet
I like to know training background, do you use certain words or hand gestures, do you notice a problem that needs to be worked on.
A typical day
Hiking and lake time is my idea puppy fun, dogs need to smell new smells and visit new places so I am always looking for new places to visit and new adventures. On days were it is too cold or too hot to be outside its all about games that make the dogs think, learn, and grow!
