Captain is my very special best friend, and after carefully researching the market, the only petcare-giver to which I would consider entrusting Captain’s care is Courtney Faulkner. She is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and customer-centric…she always answers “yes” to any of Captain’s care needs. And, of course Captain loves Courtney and all those on her team.

Fairy Dog Mama is a LIFESAVER! Two years ago, I decided one dog wasn’t enough and had to get a second dog. At this point I considered myself a seasoned dog owner, I had a dog growing up, and we had a 3 year old dog of a breed considered ‘difficult’. I thought I’d go easy on myself and get a nicer type of dog this time, we found a little golden retriever that needed a home, perfect we thought. We named her Happy. She was going to be the cuddliest, nicest, friendliest, obedient-est dog you ever did see. Turns out little Happy was terrified of dogs and people, including us at the beginning. She got a boatloat training, socialising, and de-sensitizing and still does, but she’s still an anxious thing and she’s still terrified of dogs. We tried a number of pet sitting services, nothing was a good fit for Happy. Well meaning people on popular websites said they could handle her, she wasn’t aggressive, she’s fearful, they said it would be fine. It wasn’t. FINALLY we were pointed to Fairy Dog Mama. Thank dog. Working with them has been really easy and given us so much peace of mind. I never worry about my dogs while I’m gone, and nice bonus I don’t worry about my house either 😉 Courtney and her team are hands down the single best choice for dog sitting.

Courtney has been part of our dog team since 2016. We have a young duck toller, River, who sometimes gets worried about loud noises and fast movements when out on a walk. So it was important to us that our dog care service be supportive of walking River on a leash with positive reinforcement if things get outside his comfort zone. Fairy Dog Mama has fit the bill perfectly, and Courtney is clearly tuned in to River’s mood and checks in with us if anything seems “off” with him. We feel in good hands!

We have been using the Fairy Dog Mama for the past few years for our young energetic golden retriever. Courtney and her team are fantastic! They come and stay with Mac when we are away, sleeping at our home and keeping Mac entertained. In addition they also help with garbage day, mail delivery and watering the garden (best efforts – of course!). Mac loves all three of the lovely ladies that have stayed with him. Mac is special, he is high maintenance and the Fairy Dog Mama does a great job catering to his needs. We never worry when we are away – thank you Fairy Dog Mama!

My husband and I have Loui, a beautiful, large dog that needs a little extra care and attention. Courtney came recommended to us and she was very attentive from day one, continuing Loui’s training Loui during every visit. We couldn’t be happier with the services Courtney provides, the connection she has with Loui gives us peace of mind knowing our big guy is taken care of whenever he is with her. I would highly recommend The Fairy Dog Mama to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur baby

I have used Courtney and her team on several occasions for both walks and dog sitting and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Not only did I come home to a happy and healthy dog but I had the reassurance that our house and garden would be well cared for. As the owner of a 130 pound Irish Wolfhound I am very careful who I leave my dog with and I was very confident in their ability to care for and manage Finley. Courtney is reliable, knowledgeable and most importantly really seems to love her “customers”
