Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & trustworthy pet care
I currently work from home and have a good-sized and fully fenced yad. I've lived with dogs for my entire life and current have four of my own - all Border Collies. I compete in dog agility and also enjoy trick training. I volunteered at Seattle Humane Society for many years, including as a volunteer trainer assistant in the Reactive Rover program. I've had a couple of reactive rovers myself and am familiar with fear and fear-based aggression. I employ positive reinforcement training on my own dogs and with dogs I have worked with. Since training and competing in dog sports, as well as actively hiking in the Pacific Northwest has been my passion for the past decade, I have decided to make good use of the skills I've acquired. Dog that stay with me will be treated to plenty of outdoors time and if they are up for it - some hiking!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Beth is great! She took great care of Pilot and sent lots of pics with updates.
Beth is thoughtful, considerate, and wonderful with doggos. We went through Rover's list searching for a very experienced dog walker for our Luna Bella, and we're glad we found Beth.
Dogs are family, and Beth treats them accordingly! She has lived and worked with many different dogs over the years and takes time to get to know each dog individually so that she can provide the very best care and enrichment. All of my dogs adore their "Auntie Beth" and look forward to seeing her at agility competitions and on hiking adventures. Beth is dependable and prompt and I would absolutely trust her to care for my dogs. She has assisted dog training classes ranging from puppy socialization, basic manners and reactive Rover. She understands how to use dog-friendly methods to improve behavior while having fun at the same time. We give four paws up to Beth!

Schedule
I work from home and go out every day for a walk with dogs. On Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday I'm out hiking with dogs and would love to bring guest dogs out for some fun too! I have a fairly flexible schedule but do have some weekends blocked off as I do participate in dog sport events. I also have my own dogs so client dogs must be friendly toward other dogs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat my pet clients as if they were my own pets, which means a lot of individual attention and customized to the pet I'm working with. I make an effort to get to know each of my pet clients as individuals and and customize my care of them accordingly. Guest dogs will be given plenty of mental and physical activity.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs I watch on vacation visits will enjoy a personalized program developed with their owner(s). My goal is to tailor every walk or visit to the individual dog and each dog's personality and ability. Most dogs will enjoy a nature walk at their own pace, complete with lots of opportunities for sniffing - as a dog gathers most information about the world through their olfactory senses! With owner(s) permissions, we may also work on some basic life skills, such as impulse control behaviors, as well as play some games such as find it and fetch. I also have a good sized yard that is completely fenced.
