Safety, trust & environment

For dog walking, I believe establishing trust and getting to know your dog’s personality is super important. Knowing how they react in certain situations will better allow me to care for your pet.

Information Kortney S. would like to know about your pet

First I’d like to know their routine so I can accommodate if possible. If your dog tends to be reactive or anxious around strangers, or your dog isn’t as social or certain situations make your pup nervous please let me know. What level of training you prefer me to work on is helpful.

A typical day

Getting exercise is super important for your pet. As your dog walker, I would find the best route for your dog that is in a safe environment. If your dog is a bit more reactive, I will accommodate. If your dog wants to play and is social, I will do my best to make sure that it is in a friendly environment. If allowed and agreed upon I’m happy to take them to a preferred destination. If treat training, I will make sure we work on any commands or behaviors your prefer me to focus on. If your dog loves long walks great. If they’d rather go on a short hike and get belly scratches, that’s ok too. Happy to provide an occasional pic of your doggo? Happy to text one. Who doesn’t love seeing what their best friend is up to when you’re not with them?

Pet care experience

I take caring for anyones best friend very seriously and have a lot of experience around different breeds. I think that each dog has individual traits that make them so special when you get to know them. I have a dog and cat at home and frequently take are of other pets because I enjoy it.

Kortney is an incredible dogsitter. I always know she'll get our guy out on a walk, take care of the house, and keep us looped in as needed. I feel very good knowing she's taking care of our dog while we are away and completely trust her. Would highly recommend her services. She's the best!

Kortney Smithwick is a very responsible, nurturing, focused young lady. Being an outdoorsy person, she spends a lot of time at parks and dog parks with her own dog as well as watching friends and family's dogs/pets on weekends from time-to-time. Kortney is very conscious with her dogs appetite, teeth and careful about any surroundings which could be harmful for her own dog, no scraps or table food. If anyone needed their dogs walked or dogsat, Kortney would be a good choice! Your dog would make a new friend and be happy to see her when she's around!

Kortney is excellent with dogs. She used to take care of mine when I needed her to and would always take him somewhere fun and always sent me the best pics of him.
