“Courtney provided excellent care for my two fur babies over the weekend while I was out of town. She was reliable, on time, gave my dogs their scheduled medication’s twice a day, gave them frequent potty breaks, played with them outside, and gave them lots of snuggles while I was away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background as a veterinary assistant and my years of experience in pet sitting. I currently work in an emergency veterinary clinic, which has given me a strong foundation in handling a wide variety of medical situations with calmness and confidence. I’m skilled in senior pet care, medication administration, and monitoring for signs of illness or stress—especially important for pets with chronic conditions. I'm also experienced with puppies and understand how to support them through house training, socialization, and routine-building using positive reinforcement. When it comes to cats, I’m particularly attentive to their unique needs and sensitivities. Whether it's managing stress in shy or senior cats, giving medications (including insulin or subcutaneous fluids), or simply understanding feline body language to ensure they're comfortable and secure, I prioritize creating a calm, cat-friendly environment. I know how to care for both the affectionate lap cats and the more independent or anxious types with patience and respect for their space. All of this allows me to offer pet care that is both compassionate and informed—tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I'm currently working full time but I work 3 days and am off for four. I would have plenty of time to spend with your babies and make sure that they receive the utmost amount of care. My two pups are very friendly and love to pawty with other pups when they can! My knowledge in first aid and cpr when it comes to pets (including rodents and reptiles) makes me feel ready for any situation.
About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.

About: I've always loved dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards, any kind of animal, I love them! I would lay down my life for an animal if it came down to it. I have a dog and cat that I love more than anything else. If you need me to pet sit, then I'll be there! I can be there for your pet whenever you need me! And I mean whenever, weekends, anytime. Besides if I'm on vacation, which I hardly ever have one. I can't take pets into my home but I will gladly travel to your home and take care of your pets there! I will follow all instructions you have for me and I will make sure your pets feel as loved and cared for as possible. I have an elder German shepherd and a middle aged cat that I take good care of. I feed my German shepherd twice a day and feed my cat once a day. I always check to see if they need more water and fill their bowl and fountain if they get low. I also play with them a bunch, like my dog who likes to play fetch with his ball, or my cat who sometimes likes me to use his wand toy.
