Experienced with multiple breeds.
Pet care experience
Beginning at the age of 8, I've owned and cared for many dogs and have over 50 years experience. I always wanted to be a vet, but because of the education commitment, expense, and my fear of loving them too much to put them down, I left my dream in the past. I have always groomed my own pets. I am self taught on hair clipping, nail trimming and even anal gland expression. I have a little experience with beginner obedience and Canine Good Citizen training.
Reviews
Beth was wonderful as always! Friendly and timely as scheduled.
Beth is fantastic! She was available on short notice, had great communication, and is very good with pets. My cat usually hides from people but she warmed up to Beth right away. She really is a pet whisperer. She even helped me clip my cat’s nails. I feel comfortable leaving my cat with her in the future.
Beth did a wonderful job watching Shadow while we were on vacation. Would use again.
Took care of our kitties while we were away and did a great job! Will surely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment
My dogs are kept on 25 ft leads while doing their business in my yard. This is for safety reasons because the main road runs in front of my house. When I'm outside, my dogs have unleashed freedom on my deck or are near me on a lead. When inside my home, dogs are free to roam and sleep in either my bedroom or my son's bedroom. Crates are not used unless specifically requested by the owner. Any boarders are cared for in the same manner as if they were my own. When hired to do a drop in or dog walking service, I abide by all rules set out by the owner. Walked dogs are never let off lead until in a safe and secure environment, for example, their home, a gated fence, secure deck, etc.

Information Beth K. would like to know about your pet
I have owned and currently own dogs with special needs. I have experience with post surgical care, vestibular disease, trachea disorders, ear infections, eye infections, torn CCL, arthritis, allergies, congestive heart disease, broken bones, wound care and special dietary needs, glucose testing and insulin injections. If your dog has any special needs, I am a very quick learner and am willing to provide the care your pet needs.
A typical day
Whatever your normal routine for your dog is, I'm willing to do to maintain his/her schedule. Due to health issues, I cannot lift dogs over 25 lbs. I will exercise your dogs in their contained area or yard or walk them on a lead if needed. I will feed and refill water bowls as instructed. I will spend time playing with them and give them lots of love, hugs, and attention.

Availability
From 2005 until April 2022, I was retired. In April 2023, I reentered the work force on a part-time basis as a veterinarian assistant. I am also furthering my education and am enrolled in an Veterinarian Technician program. I am looking to supplement my income to help pay for my degree by doing something that brings me happiness.... and that is giving love and attention to all animals. When i am not working, i am available from 9 am until 9 pm. If there is a conflict with my schedule, upon owner approval, my husband takes my place. He also attends Meet and Greets with me so that owners have the opportunity to meet and interview both of us.
