Former Veterinary Nurse!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Courtney, and I have over 15 years of experience working with animals. I’m a former veterinary nurse, licensed, fully insured, and certified in pet CPR and first aid. I offer full-time dog boarding exclusively from my home, and since I’m home full-time, dogs receive constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. My home has a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, and I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and enriching environment for every dog in my care. I provide enrichment options like bully sticks, long-lasting chews, frozen bones, stuffed Kongs, puzzle toys, and interactive toys to help keep dogs mentally stimulated and happy. Dogs also have access to plenty of comfy beds, blankets, toys, and snuggles so they can truly feel at home while they’re here. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay.

Bojack loved staying with Kourtney! He is a fourteen years old. I like that Kourtney has a background in veterinary medicine. Not only did that make me trust her with his daily meds, it was nice knowing that there was a trained eye on him. Bojack is overly bonded to me to the point that he often sits by the window waiting for me to return when I go out. The biggest compliment to Kourtney's care is that when we picked him up, he greeted me with enthusiasm but not anywhere near the crazy welcome I usually get, AND he kept looking back at Kourtney as if he was unsure whether he wanted to leave! We will definitely have her watch him again.

Kourtney was very gentle and loving with my 2 senior dachshunds. She also put up with Max and Stella being anxious and having a couple of accidents. She sent pics and kept me up to date. Great communication and loving care. Highly recommend!

Very thorough when I dropped my dog off Reported back to me the details of his day seemed very capable. Finn was very relaxed and seemed perfectly adjusted in a situation where he normally would be very upset. I pup has severe anxiety separation, but he did great.

Kourtney outdid herself with our pup Axel! She treated him like one of her own and provided over 25 pictures while we were away!!! He had the best time he was sad to leave!!! I recommend Kourtney to everyone and anyone who wants their pets to be loved on while you’re gone. We will definitely be back! She is very knowledgeable and amazing!!
