Dogs and cats love Aunt Beth!
Pet care experience
Working with animals and their humans is what I love to do! I'm looking to begin professional relationships with pet owners in the Columbia area. I do dog walking and pet sitting from your home. Schedule a meeting with me and let's get to know eachother! I have become a trusted helper to many families over the years and would love to expand that circle. Let's talk about what you and your pets need while you're away. I worked for several years as a full-time dog walker/pet sitter in Denver, CO, and also worked as a caregiver/trainer at Stray Rescue of St. Louis. In these jobs, I saw it all (!) and gained valuable experience in dealing with animal situations of all sorts. I have a degree in journalism and am working on furthering my education while doing work in the restaurant industry. But my REAL passion is dogs! Working with dogs brings me so much joy that I could never give it up! I'm also a cat-lover, and have much experience taking care of reptiles. I have a natural connection to and rapport with pets of all kinds. They sense my gentle, loving spirit and tend to put their trust in me quickly. You can rest assured when you're away from home that your pet will be well-loved and taken care of. I'll listen to your special care instructions and make sure to carry them out to a tee, whether they're related to medical issues, training, or enrichment. I'll be as communicative as you want me to be during your time away, with phone calls, texts, photos, and emails, as you request, and always a full written report for you to read when you return. I'm also willing to do small household tasks like watering plants and checking mail. Just ask! I'll give your pet the individual love and attention he or she couldn't get at a kennel, with the added comfort of their home environment. Let's set up a meeting and see if we click!
Reviews
Beth was FANTASTIC! She stayed with our babies for 8 days and we received daily updates, as well as any concerns that she had (i.e. one of the pups threw up). She left the house clean and tidy, evening washing the sheets before she left! I highly recommend her for anyone needing a sitter! She’s definitely our go-to now!
Beth's personality shines through even on the phone before you meet. Beth provided updates on Harrington the cat and was the first sitter to coax him out and make his "vacation from humans" time shorter. She also took good care of our outdoor friends. We could not be more pleased and hope that Beth will be available for our next travel plans.
Beth watched our pups while we were out of town. Albus and Teddy liked Beth from the moment they met her. Beth sent us photos and updates to let us know how the dogs were doing. One of our dogs gets anxious when we are away and tends to bite himself, but Beth made sure that he got plenty of attention and treats too keep him calm. By the time we got home, the dogs were completely taken with Beth. We couldn't have found a better person to watch our fur babies!
We have a sometimes problematic pup. Beth has been amazing!! She takes him on walks with no issues at all, and he absolutely loves it when she comes to visit. The cats do also! We would highly highly recommend Beth. She's wonderful!

Stephens Lake Park is my favorite dog-walking spot! The dog park is great too if your pup is into it.
