Pet care experience

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.

Beth is amazing with River and always gives me a solid update on how she is doing, her behaviors for the day, and looks out for the little things like bringing packages in. So appreciate her!

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.

Information Beth H. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I’m a big fan of walking in nature whenever I can, urban parks are especially a favorite. The last several years I’ve also been studying enrichment activities and I even make snuffle mats for doggie friends! Since I trained my own dogs for so long I also know how to make training activities fun.
