About Courtney

Hi there!

My name is Courtney. I’m a 28 year old specialist veterinary nurse based in Sydney’s lower north shore. I have worked in emergency/critical care, and now specialise in ophthalmology and general surgery.

I am currently living with my parents and use pet-sitting as a way to get some much-needed space. I have lots of experience pet-sitting through friends, clients of my vet clinic, and websites like Pawshake and Trusted House Sitters.

My dog is my best mate, so I understand the concern other owners have about leaving their beloved companions behind while they’re away. I want to give you complete peace of mind that your pet is in the best hands.

House sits I would like to do would be ones that I can bring my own dog, Toast, along to. Toast is well socialised with all other animals, and will give timid animals their space until they’re ready to play.

I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, exercise requirements and special needs. If you have an animal that requires medicating or special observation, no problem! I am comfortable feeding and handling most exotic pets (no venemous snakes!). I am also lucky to be able to bring Toast to work with me, and can do so with your dogs if the need arises.

The best! Floki and toast got on really well and Courtney went the extra mile for us. Floki had to be moved out of our apartment due to a terrible land lord, and Courtney arranged a foster home for Floki for 6 weeks. We’ll be forever grateful, and this just shows how kind and caring Courtney is!
