APA trained for Nervous Pups

Pet care experience

******Due to the huge amount of help APA needs workng with Harvey Refugee animals, my availability has become severely limited. I will hopefully be opening up more slots soon but please bear with me. I also am limiting exposure to young dogs. Thank y'all for your understanding at this time******** Dogs are the best company. They're enthusiastic, cheerful and always ready to go go go! You can rest assured that your pet will be safe and comfortable with me. You and your pet will love me because I'm experienced and I'll treat your pet just like my own. You can feel confident leaving your pet with me because I am so knowledgeable about our furry friends. I've volunteered with Austin Pets Alive for the past four years and have been specifically trained to work with scared or shy dogs. I've been fostering with them for the last year and have housed everything from six week old Labrador puppies, to geriatric fourteen-year old Rat Terriers, to very excitable 1yr-old Dalmatians. I've been a part of Rough Tail Runners for a year as well, so I'm comfortable running dogs of all sizes around Town Lake. The biggest dog I've worked with was a Pyrenees and the Smallest a one pound chihuahua puppy, so you know I'm ready for anything! I am ambitious and hardworking. I graduated from UT and am taking my LSAT in September. In the meantime I'm walking dogs with a downtown based company (12-5pm during the week) and volunteering with the APA parvo ward as the need arises. That means I can spend a lot of time with your dog! I know how hard it is for you to leave your pet behind. I'm happy to keep in touch as much as you would like so you can see what your pet is up to.

Bessie was great with Jimbo, as always, and left the home as it was when we left. Another great stay!

Great dog sitter! Reliable and responsible. I feel so relieved knowing Bessie is there to take care of our dog. She sends regular updates to let us know everything is ok. You would be lucky to have a caretaker like Bessie!

Bessie is awesome. Bessie has sat for our dog Grace multiple times now, and we are so glad she does. Grace loves it and it’s so easy for us. Thanks Bessie!

Bessie B did a great job taking care of my cat Ginger. I was out of town for about 1-1/2 months and Bessie B was very reliable giving my cat all the attention she needs and giving me regular updates along the way. I highly reccomend Bessie B as a pet sitter and look forward to working with her again.

Information Bessie B. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

I'm a big fan of running Town Lake, but am happy to walk/run closer to your home if your pup isn't a fan of car rides! When we aren't out exploring, we can cuddle while I study for the LSAT. On Wednesday nights, your dog can join me and my trivia team for a night out!
