Pet care experience
Coming from a professional animal family, I have been involved in various animal organizations and activities throughout my life. These include AKC, canine rescue, dog, cat and horse massage, dog training, puppy rearing, dog shows as a handler and helper, agility, obedience, pet sitting, dog walking, etc. I've always felt incredibly close to animals of all shapes, and sizes. I grew up with Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs, the occasional all-breed foster and house cats. In addition, I have been riding and helping care for horses for as long as I can remember and have experience with goats, cows, rabbits, chickens, etc. Over the years I have been hired to feed and care for just about every sort of animal commonly kept by people. I am very comfortable with daily visits as well as overnights. Additionally, I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes on leashes and love taking pets for walks. I'm currently a 34-year-old Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (with a minor in Russian) as well as a Bachelor of Science in Development and Family Studies.
Reviews
Courtney M. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Courtney was great with sending pic/video and providing updates throughout our trip. Kept the house clean.
Courtney was a wonderful sitter! Watched our puppy for an entire day on relatively short notice and sent us plenty of pictures and messages throughout the stay to keep up updated. Would recommend!
We have hired Courtney several times now to take care of our two dogs and she is wonderful. Communicative, reliable, loves the dogs, and they love her. Thank you, Courtney for taking such good care of our pups!

I have a large backyard in which I would be able to exercise any dog visiting with me. Additionally, there are many dog friendly parks in my area. I have preferred parks in the areas as well as walking trails I enjoy if I am watching an active dog.
