Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow their established routines, monitor their behavior closely, and keep a calm, controlled environment during every visit or walk. I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and stay aware of weather conditions to ensure your pet is always protected and comfortable. I also keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. During drop-in visits, I treat your home and your pet’s space with respect. I maintain their usual feeding schedule, refresh water, give any needed medications, clean up small messes, and make sure they get plenty of attention and enrichment. I follow all house rules, crates, gates, preferred walking routes, training cues, and anything else you request.

Information Bethany B. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, it’s helpful to know: Their daily routine Any medical or dietary needs Behavioral quirks (shyness, reactivity, separation anxiety, etc.) Favorite activities or toys Commands they know or training you’re reinforcing Any fears or triggers (other dogs, loud noises, heat sensitivity, etc.) The more I know, the better I can make their time with me safe, comfortable, and fun.

A typical day

Depending on your pet’s personality and energy level, I can: Take them on structured walks Play fetch or tug-of-war Provide mental enrichment games Practice simple training cues Give belly rubs, brushing, or quiet companionship I tailor activities to each pet, making sure they get the perfect balance of exercise, stimulation, and affection.

Experienced and Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’m an active college student and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. I currently have a goldendoodle of my own, and I grew up surrounded by animals of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or providing extra attention, I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs. Being from Florida, I understand how heat and weather can affect animals and always take proper precautions to keep pets safe and comfortable. I’m also familiar with rescue pets and puppies and am happy to accommodate any special routines or requirements your pet may have. Your animals will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own.

Bethany was amazing with our two kitties! She always takes great care of them and communicates updates about our boys each time we travel. Highly recommend her taking care of your fur babies!

Bethany was great. She was consistent with her visits being at the same time everyday. She gave feedback that put me at ease knowing Kitty Jr was being well taken care of. She even brought packages that were delivered inside for me!

Bethany is great to work with! She was very attentive to our animals needs and seemed to get along really well with them! We’d love to have her as a sitter in the future.
