About Courtney

Experience: 10 yrs

I've been pet sitting since 2014. I attended a career academy for high school in their Vet Tech program. This included a 2 yr internship at a vet clinic and 3 1/2 years as a zoo volunteer. I also pet sat for neighbors. After high school I became a zookeeper, while attending college and pet sitting on the side. After 4+ years as a zookeeper, in 2021 I left the zoo and started pet sitting full-time. In addition to my past education and job, I grew up around dogs, birds, farm animals, & reptiles. These experiences taught me how to care for various pets, especially those with special needs. In my spare time I enjoy running, going to the gym, and taking my fur baby on hikes. One thing you should know about me is my dog is my world! I have high standards of care for him, and I'll care for your pets like my own. I look forward to meeting your pets and would appreciate the opportunity to care for them.

I am very picky with who I trust with my dogs and Courtney I trust 100%. She has watched two of my dogs multiple times and she goes the extra mile to make sure everything is taken take of. I trust her to give them important medication as well. I have a pretty “special” dog who is a little extra quirky with his potty training and fears and she took take of him so well! She sent me pictures of the dogs which helped soothe my separation anxiety from them. She also took take of my 2 snakes and has a lot of experience with reptiles, cats and birds as well. I would absolutely recommend her to watch your animals!
