Availability
I am a retired teacher. I taught elementary and middle school children for 33 years. I am now available any day and time. I do not have to work around another job. The pets I accept become part of the family for a day, or a week, or as long as you need. I only take the pets of one family at a time, so they are treated like they were at home.

Safety, trust & environment
I live on Lamoka Lake, in Bradford, NY. I am able to provide day care while you go out to do touristy things, or boarding for a trip or vacation! I am available to do any length boarding (from one day to 2 weeks or more) in my home. My home is clean and clutter free, and has waterproof vinyl floors throughout. I have miles of quiet roads to walk dogs, and a dock and a ramp to the lake if your dog likes to swim. Dogs live in our home as if they were our own. If you allow furniture or bed use, dogs have the same access here. If needed, I have two large indoor crates and a huge indoor/outdoor kennel. Access to my home can be by normal steps, or custom made special steps or ramp for older or handicapped dogs. I am happy to take kittens or cats as well. I am ready and able to give undivided love and care to your pet, with photos and updates to you.

Information Beth W. would like to know about your pet
We do not have a fenced in back yard, so I need to know that your dog is accustomed to walking reasonably well on a leash. We are right on a lake road, and need to know that your dog can handle seeing other dogs or families walk by outside the glass/screen doors. I need to know if your dog has special medical needs, medications, or areas of pain. How is your dog with other animals, children or adults. Does your dog have situations or triggers to avoid? Do you have any special commands that your dog is used to hearing? Also, how often to provide food and bathroom breaks. Lastly, I hope you will tell me any special things I can do to make your dog comfortable and happy while you are away.
A typical day
I love to cuddle with dogs (or cats)on the sofa, watch TV, play ball and frisbee, sit out on the front deck, or take long walks by the lake.

For the love of a dog!...
Pet care experience
I love animals of all kinds, with a special love of dogs. For 35 years I cared for my own big dogs- two Saint Bernards and two Newfoundlands. For 3 years I have been caring for customer's pets through Rover.com. I have experience with feeding, giving medications, handling anxiety, bad hips and mobility issues. I have trained 4 dogs for good leash behavior, and work on it with all dogs that I board. I have provided dog and cat care for our lakeside neighborhood during vacations, trips away, winery tour days, etc., and have been a Rover sitter for approximately 50 pets over a three year period, some becoming repeated/regular stays. I'd rather spend my day with animals than people!
Reviews
Beth and Tom are the best! We always know our pup will be happy and cared for - and peace of mind for us when we travel.
Beth was terrific, Finn came home tired & happy - and he even had a bath which he enjoys! I’d highly recommend her, if she’s not booked already! 🐾 Thank you Beth! 🐶❤️
This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Beth. We had the same dog sitter for 20 years, but she retired and we were nervous about finding a new one. Beth was great right from the start. She immediately responded to my inquiry and set up a date to meet. It was clear from the beginning she understood dogs. She was very calm and sweet with our lab Lily. We later left Lily for a long weekend which turned into a very cold, heavy snow few days! Beth made sure Lily still had long, daily walks and fun rolls in the snow. She sent us daily photos and even a video of Lily playing catch which is one of her favorite things to do. We ended up having our flight canceled due to the storm and Beth was so great about keeping her an extra day relieving us of a lot of worry. Lily had a great time during her stay and we will definitely be back again! Thanks so much Beth.
Beth has watched our dog a few times now - every time she gives a daily update complete with photos. Our pup comes home happy every trip - recommend Beth to all!
