For the love of a dog!...
Pet care experience
I love animals of all kinds, with a special love of dogs. For 33 years I cared for my own big dogs- two Saint Bernards and two Newfoundlands. For 2 years I have been caring for customer's pets through Rover.com. I have experience with feeding, giving medications, handling anxiety, bad hips and mobility issues. I have trained 4 dogs for good leash behavior, and work on it with all dogs that I board. I have provided dog and cat care for our lakeside neighborhood during vacations, trips away, winery tour days, etc., and have been a Rover sitter for approximately 50 pets over a two year period, some becoming repeated/regular stays. I'd rather spend my day with animals than people!
Reviews
This was our pups second stay at Beth's. We couldn't be happier with the care and love they get. It is great to go on vacation and not worry about them. Beth is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures.
I would highly recommend Beth if you are looking for a dog sitter! They pay attention to and spend time with your fur babies, just like you would at home, and take the time to make sure your pet's visit is enjoyable. Great communication regarding any needs/concerns you may have. I know that I felt TOTALLY comfortable leaving my two goldens with her for the first time, which makes your trip much more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. I will definitely book with her again when the need arises.
Beth is the best! We are grateful for the excellent job she does caring for our pup while we are away. We are repeat customers and each time we leave, we have peace of mind because we know our doggie will be so well cared for. Beth is thorough and professional and provides a clean, comfy home along with an abundance of love. We highly recommend her!
We are so thankful we found Beth on Rover. She took care of our 2 pups for over a week. She contacted us ahead of time to make sure she had the information she needed to be ready for their stay. She has a calming presence that put our pups at ease. Everthing was wonderful. Our pups felt very much at home with Beth and her husband. She was great at communicating on how they were doing and sent photos. It was evident they were well taken care of. We will definitely be using Beth again!

I live on Lamoka Lake, in Bradford, NY. I am able to provide day care while you go out to do touristy things, or boarding for a trip or vacation! I am available to do any length boarding (from one day to 2 weeks or more) in my home. My home is clean and clutter free, and has waterproof vinyl floors throughout. I have miles of quiet roads to walk dogs, and a dock and a ramp to the lake if your dog likes to swim. Dogs live in our home as if they were our own. If you allow furniture or bed use, dogs have the same access here. If needed, I have two large indoor crates and a huge indoor/outdoor kennel. Access to my home can be by normal steps, or custom made special steps or ramp for older or handicapped dogs. I am happy to take kittens or cats as well. I am ready and able to give undivided love and care to your pet, with photos and updates to you.
Home
Information Beth W. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog has special medical needs, medications, or areas of pain. How is your dog with other animals, children or adults. Does your dog have situations or triggers to avoid on walks? Do you have any special commands that your dog is used to hearing? Also, how often to provide food and bathroom breaks. Lastly, I hope you will tell me any special things I can do to make your dog comfortable and happy while you are away.
A typical day
I love to cuddle with dogs (or cats)on the sofa, watch TV, play ball and frisbee, sit out on the front deck, or take long walks by the lake.

Availability
I am a retired teacher. I taught elementary and middle school children for 33 years. I am now available any day and time. I do not have to work around another job. The pets I accept become part of the family for a day, or a week, or as long as you need. I only take the pets of one family at a time, so they are treated like they were at home.
