Pet care experience

Life long animal lover

Animals have always been present in my life as I have always had dogs (and more!) in my home. I spent the last ten years managing a farm rescue site that allowed me to care for equine, goats, pigs, cats, ducks, chickens and more. The position allowed me to learn quite a bit about caring for the animals welfare, as well as learning about the various animal behaviors and their unique ways they communicate and live together as one big farm family. With 15+ years of animal care of all sizes, including small caged pets, I am comfortable and experienced with special needs, medication dispensing, as well as senior care.

Safety, trust & environment

Establishing trust with animals and prioritizing their safety are the elements of care that I focus on as an animal caretaker. Fenced yards and doggie doors at my home allow my dogs freedom and safety. Respecting schedules and routines when visiting clients of pets at other homes is another focus as it reduces potential stress on others pets. Pet care, allowing owner peace of mind is a top priority.

Betha and I have been friends for several years and I have witnessed her devotion not only to her own dogs, but to the animals at Poplar Grove Animal Sanctuary/farm where she was manager until it closed. She is responsible, resourceful and determined that the animals she is entrusted with are safe and well cared for. I do not hesitate for a moment to recommend her for a pet caregiver position.

I am unsure of my ability to write a short recommendation for Betha. If i were to be honest about her and her love for every animal that she has had her love around it would take up those 25 words and then 1000 more and another 1000 just to punctuate.I have never met anyone that absolutely puts the animals under their care before themselves like Betha. Short pay and long hours. Thats Betha. Animals first. She has a connection with them that the best of writers have yet to be able to describe. Betha will be the best decision that you have ever made for your pet.

Betha is exceptional with all animals. She has helped with my dogs for years and I would trust her above anyone else. She is incredibly comfortable around all animals and handles them with ease and compassion. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands, if Betha is caring for them.

Having worked side-by-side caring for animals, I can attest to Betha's ability to identify normal animal patterns and thus is keenly aware of abnormal behavior. Her response is to survey the environment for safety and physically observe both internal and external signs for abnormality. Betha strives to understand an animal's personality by creating a safe space for interaction. She converses with animals like a neighbor. She is naturally attracted to them, and it's reciprocated.

Schedule

Pet care has always been the focus of my daily routine. Having personal pets as well as formally managing an equine and farm animal rescue site for ten years, caring for animals and having them accompany me through my every day life is just natural for me.
