Availability

I do have some pets and on the occasional day I need to be local to check in on them, pop me a message to check for availability! I also drive so distance isn’t a problem, provided it’s, ideally, within Essex.

Garden time is always supervised, as is feeding time to ensure your pet stays safe. Ensuring they get an sufficient amount of enrichment and sleep is important to me to make sure your pet is happy all round!

Information Courtney E. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know any behavioural traits and their background if possible in order to better understand your pet as well as their needs, but this isn’t necessary! If they’re training specific tricks I’d love to know to ensure I can follow the same lead, whether that’s being indifferent to other animals, reducing barking or walking nicely in a heel position!

A typical day

I like to partake in activities the dogs enjoy, whether that’s going for a run, snuggling on the sofa, training in a park or a game of tug of war! I love finding new places to walk, especially more remote areas such as lakes, trails and country parks! Structured days can really benefit pups so I love to mix the day with some garden time, training, playtime and settle time! You can have a look at @0sixpetcare on Instagram to see all the fun the pups have! The dogs may be shown online, please specify if you’d like them to not be shown, thanks!

Pets

Highly qualified and experienced!

Cat care experience

I’ve grown up with cats for my whole life, having 5 cats at once as well as extended family pets. I’ve also working in kennels with catteries so I’ve worked with all sorts of breeds, temperaments, health issues and needs. I can easily adapt to a cat’s personality and needs, to ensure that the cat is fully taken care of without feeling stressed! I currently have 2 cats in our family home. I’m fully experienced with enrichment, medicating and grooming, including claw cutting

It's the second time we have used Courtney to pet sit and she did an excellent job once again. Terrance and Tia seemed very underwhelmed to see us arrive home, so I think it is also a big thumbs up from them too.

This was our first time using Rover to find a pet sitter to stay in our home, but Courtney made it a very positive experience. Unfortunately as our poor old dog, Terrance, has some health issues there were quite a few instructions to deal with, but Courtney looked after him, Tia our cat and the house very well. We would happily book her again. Apologies to Courtney for Tel's snoring, constant scratching and his smelliness.

Courtney did an amazing job looking after my pup and kittens. They were very happy with her and were well cared for.

Courtney has done a fab job of looking after all our animals and our home, whilst we were on holiday. The animals all look happy and well taken care of. She gave us great communication before and during her time here. Will gladly book Courtney again x
