Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, Reliable, Dog-inspired!
I grew up with a standard dachshund and owned two in my adult life. My dogs trained 2 years to achieve their Canine Good Citizen certifications, and I continue to use those skills with doggie friends. I co-organize a large dachshund club where I lead walks and gatherings every month, and have belonged to the club since it’s inception in 2006. Though I especially love hounds, I enjoy all breeds from puppies to seniors. I’m well-versed in IVDD and kidney disease in dogs as a result of managing both issues with my own pups. I won’t walk your dogs with others (aside from a doggie sibling) unless you request it and I won’t be distracted by earbuds or my phone, your pup gets my full attention.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am currently only walking dogs but may consider staying in your home if needed once I get to know you and your pet. I’m extra conscious of pet safety (closing doors, leashing), and clean up after both of us whenever necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Beth is reliable and such an easy person to work with! We appreciate her weekly walks with Pickles
Beth is the best! She’s easy to communicate with and loves our Pickles. She always leaves great notes and pictures.
Always great!
Thanks for the fun walks, great reports, and the love shared with our pups. It was great knowing they had exercise and sniffs each day while we were away!
Great communication, snapped a cute photo and followed all directions!
We have appreciated having Beth as our dog walker while my spouse recovered from an injury. She’s friendly and great at handling our big dog. Always on time, and communicates well.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Currently I consult under the name The Idea Hound, so my schedule is flexible both during the week and on weekends, depending on previously scheduled time with the dachshund club.

- Please let me know what your dog doesn’t like! Some pups are afraid of loud noises, roads, wheels (like skateboards and strollers), or don’t like other animals. These things are helpful for me to know before we head out on a walk! I’d also love to know if they are in training currently or know commands. Any special needs would be great to know about as well.
