I’m Courtney! (Hobsonville📍)
I’m 27, a foodie, camper and an animal lover! I have been raised around animals for as long as I can remember! To me, if you own an animal, they are a part of the family and should be treated like a family member. I have been known to discuss my pets as if they were my own child… nothing wrong with that, right? My husband and I don’t have any pets currently, but looking to get a few once we have ticked off some more travel in the coming years, with the goal of starting a farm!
I am a Business Coordinator, but I have completed my New Zealand Certificate in Animal Technology as I always wanted to be a Veterinary Nurse, however, I fell into the business world and thriving! I am now keen to get back into taking care of animals part-time. I am confident with animals, but I acknowledge the importance of building trust and an understanding with animals - they are just like humans, right?
I am looking to become a pet-sitter (or in a better term, a pet butler!) as I understand how it is stressful leaving our fur-babies home when we need a holiday of our own! I have a bubbly, compassionate nature, and would love to comfort and take care of pets all over Auckland!
Who I live with
My husband, he is an Electrician. He’s an animal lover and animals tend to love him because he has a very calming nature. Our family cat, Trevor, is quite a nervous cat and very picky with who lets into his life, but he adores Matt - lots of purrs and bunts for Matt! Matt might come for walks with me and your pup - but only if you are comfortable with that, and we would still do a meet and greet if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Courtney did a fantastic job of looking after our two dogs and our home while we were on holiday. Our dogs are anxious and they loved her! We got regular updates and pictures too. We would highly recommend! Thank you so much, Courtney!
