Hello, I’m Beth, and I’m thrilled to meet you and your pet! We are a prior Air Force family from North Carolina, but have planted our roots here in Houston. As a wife, mom of two kids and two dogs named Mugsy & Enzo, I am a very maternal, creative and fun caretaker. Beginning in college, I trained dogs through the SPCA and also fostered dogs in need. I have experience with many breeds, including Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Dachshunds, Dobermans, Labradors, Golden Retrievers, mixes, as well as small breeds. I also a great deal of experience with cats, lizards and aquariums! I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is flexible and ready to suit your needs! I live in a smoke-free home located within a quiet and dog-friendly community, and with a fenced-in yard. Do you have a high-energy dog? No problem—I train for half-marathons and can keep up with the best of them, so your dog will always get the exercise he needs. My other family members also love animals; my husband grew up raising dogs as well as horses. Though I will be the main caregiver, there will always be an animal-enthusiast around ready to give your pup lots of attention. In my spare time, I enjoy art and design and every Saturday, I spend time coaching my kids in soccer. I love to send great pictures and thorough updates while your pet is in my care. I am very flexible with drop off and pick-up times, however in the event of pick-up being after 6pm, I will need to charge a day-care rate for that day. I prefer to host dogs that are comfortable being in a crate periodically. While the vast majority of their time will be spent freely roaming the home, I appreciate having the ability to place a dog in a crate should I need to step out to run an errand. This is to ensure the safety of both your pets and mine. I look forward to caring for your furry family member!
