Information Beth D. would like to know about your pet

I have cared for senior dogs with many medical needs. I also have experience with extremely shy dogs, dogs who have been abused and many with other special needs.

A typical day

I try to meet the animals that I care for on their individual level. I love to walk dogs, go to dog parks, play fetch in the yard, hide and seek or just cuddle and provide love.

Pets

I love dogs more than people!!

Pet care experience

I currently have 3 dogs of my own. They all get along very well and are a nice little "pack" and are well socialized. They enjoy having doggy friends over for playdates. My family raised 6 puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I puppy sat for several dogs over the 8 year period when we raised GD puppies. I have had 2 therapy dogs. I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for over 20 years. I retired from my careers as a pediatric Occupational Therapist, and have a flexible schedule. My husband and I are empty nesters and are both animal lovers. Having fur babies come visit helps control my desire to adopt more dogs. Thank you!

We have a senior dog that needs special attention and they have done an awesome job with him. We are thankful we found them on Rover.

Beth was a great help during my stay at the lake keeping my pups comfortable while I was away for the day. Very communicative and friendly. Will hire again for sure.

We were looking for a special person to watch our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs is insecure and the other has a lot of energy. We were so happy to find Beth! We wish we could give her 10 stars! She and her husband did such a great job with both pups. Beth was in regular communication and the pictures she sent told us everything we needed to know. The dogs looked so happy and comfortable. We are truly grateful for the wonderful care that was provided. A+++!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
