Beth obviously loves dogs and took great care to get to know the needs of mine. She is conscientious, flexible, and my dogs immediately seemed comfortable with her. I will definitely continue to hire her going forward!

As a long time dog owner, I understand the qualities required to be a good dog walker. A love of dogs is first and foremost with a general knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of how dogs needs and behaviors differ by breed. Being able to handle multiple dogs and to walk long distances to provide necessary excersize and basic need fulfillment is also required. Since our dogs are a part of our families, important qualities such as reliability, responsibility, and trustworthiness are also a pre-requisite to being a good dog walker. Perhaps the most vital quality needed is the ability to be athoritative yet compassionate in setting appropriate boundaries for our pets. Beth Hotchkiss has grown up with dogs as pets. She has a love for dogs and is used to being responsible for their needs, exercise, and entertainment. In addition, she posses' all of the qualities that I stated above. When Beth visits my family, she spends quite a bit of her time with our beloved schnauzer "Bo", playing with him and helping care for his basic needs. We trust her implicitly. I believe that Beth Hotchkiss will make a great "pack" leader!
