Beth can care for
Availability
I usually have meetings in the morning so I'm available after 11. It does depend on the day, so please check before booking me for morning visits. I'll try my best to make them work but it's not always possible. I love spending time with people's pets!

About Beth H.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
At home I am the primary pooper scooper, playtime manager, and dishwasher. I'm the backup wet food server but I step up oven enough that the cats come tell me when it's wet food time. For dog clients, I will follow instructions as they're left. If it says no treats, then no treats will be given. Of course there will be lots of praise and snuggles.
Information Beth H. would like to know about your pet
Important to know basic commands they follow. Also important to know how much food to give, their favorite toy, allowable treats, and if they're allowed on the furniture. Also important to know if they like being touched or not.
A typical day
Fun activities depend on the dog's preference. Sniffers gotta sniff. Explorers need to go the distance. Players gonna play. Stick collectors need to find a good stick so we'll go hunt for one. Kitties will get play time with a few different toys and the offer of brushing or snuggles. I'll usually just sit and chill if the cat's shy so they can choose to come get snuggles.

4 indoor kitties
Cat care experience
My 4 kitties have very different personalities and unique needs. This changes how we play, eat, cuddle, and chill. One loves interactive electronic toys, one just loves running and jumping, one is very shy but loves playing fetch, the last one believes she's an only child. I love them all!
Reviews
Beth got along well with my cat, followed instructions, left my home in good shape, and provided cute pictures and informative, entertaining Rover card reports. She’s a calm, low-maintenance sitter whom I’m happy to add to my roster. Thank you, Beth!
Beth is possibly the best there is! . She's reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does — I always got thoughtful updates and photos during visits. It's obvious she treats every pet like her own. Scout and Diego are always relaxed and happy when I get home, which says everything. I can't recommend Beth highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.
We had to add another day to our trip and Beth was able to accommodate us. We were so thankful and it provided such peace of mind that the cats were so well cared for!
We are always so glad to have Beth watch our cats! We know everything will be taken care of, and Kai and George are happy to see her! It’s clear she spends time with them as she knows her personalities and we love the detailed notes and pictures she provides for each visit. She went above and beyond this time, watering our tomato plants and grabbing our mail, and even resetting the breaker when our power went out so we had our internet, security system, and air conditioner back in working order. Beth is our go-to sitter and we will definitely book again!
