Pet care experience

I started pet sitting 10 years ago. Experience with special needs such as senior, blind, deaf, large breeds and puppies. I can go to houses for cat care as well. I usually go to the home of special needs animals or senior animals. I can take for walks or to parks. I can also travel with multiple dogs at once of medium or small size. My Samoyed Chloe is very energetic so meet and greet first is best when we do boarding in our home. She does best with medium to large dogs/working breeds. I love all animals and can accomate many different situations. I also have some exotic pet experience as well as I fed my axolotls worms, we also have salt water aquariums and I know how to feed coral if need be. I currently work from home part-time. Usually I work in one hour to 3 hour spurts at a time when I do work. I only work a couple days per week on a very flexible schedule that I create myself. I have a fenced in yard that we keep very clean. I have a very loving and energetic Samoyed to keep your dog company and one crate if necessary. I do have a cat that will be separate. For boarding we prefer medium to larger dogs, with the only exception being a puppy. My Chloe is very very sweet, just a bit hyper. We can go for walks, I gibb lots of treats if they're able to have them :) Thank you for taking the time to read our description :) Sometimes I know seniors are more comfortable in familiar settings so we can accommodate those needs as well, up to you if I bring my Chloe or not (if meet and greet goes well etc. I can care out of your home without Chloe if needed).

Kortney was fabulous with our girls. It being the first time boarding them ever, we were concerned, but she made it so comforting , and sent us a ton of photos while they were there! The girls seemed so happy and well cared for and we can’t thank her enough for all the love and snuggles and overall amazing care she gave our girls!! We definitely will use her again and again!!

Kortney communicates well and took great care of our pup. She took the time to come meet us before hand and made us feel very comfortable!

Kortney is very conscientious and cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. I felt completely at ease that my Ginger was in competent caring hands. Kortney’s home is clean and roomy & I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter any time. Lee

Information Kortney W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks I need to be aware of. We can be accommodating. Things like resource guarding or toy aggression etc, we can put toys up and feed separately.

A typical day

My dog loves to play and hang out. We can share toys or not depending on if your doggy is ok with that or not. I like to gib treats if that's allowed and we love fetch and tug. My yard is fenced for running or we live right by Ogden garden to go walkies.
