Bethany can care for
Availability
Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my daily schedule around my clients’ needs. My routine is built to ensure pets receive consistent care, with mornings, midday visits, and evenings planned in advance. For overnight stays, I follow a structured routine that includes evening and morning care, along with a midday check-in. I intentionally keep my schedule balanced so I can provide reliable, attentive care without overbooking.

About Bethany B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship based on each pet’s needs and personality. I take a calm,slow approach and allow them to build trust at their own pace. I’m experienced with reading body language and adjusting my care to help pets feel safe and comfortable. For overnight stays, I provide evening and morning care along with a midday check-in, ensuring pets aren’t left alone for extended periods. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
Information Bethany B. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I like to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide the best possible care. This includes feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise preferences, and any medications or medical concerns. It’s also very helpful to know about behavior (such as anxiety, reactivity, or anything that may make your pet uncomfortable) so I can approach them in a way that helps them feel safe and at ease. I always go over home details as well, like entry instructions, emergency contacts, and your preferred vet, so everything runs smoothly while you’re away.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For more active pets, that can include walks, playtime, and enrichment games. For calmer or more sensitive pets, I focus on gentle interaction, quiet companionship, and creating a peaceful environment where they can relax. I love incorporating simple enrichment like sniff-based games, puzzle toys, or slow sniffari's. My goal is always to keep pets happy, engaged, and comfortable in a way that feels natural to them.

Pet care experience
I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve worked with shy, anxious, and reactive pets, and I take a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified and have completed Fear Free for Shelters training. I also have volunteer experience working with shelter dogs, where I helped reinforce basic skills and improve their confidence to support adoption. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, routine, and emotional well-being.

Reviews
Bethany was amazing, we felt completely at ease leaving our baby with her. She asked all the right questions at the meet and greet, kept us updated daily with photos, and added such thoughtful touches like a toy and printed pictures. Nalah will for sure be seeing Bethany again! Don’t hesitate and book her!
Bethany was fantastic! My dog has a rare auto immune disease and she took in all of the information and kept him safe each time she walked him. Ryder can’t wait to see her again!
Bethany is amazing with our dog. She takes such good care of him. She sends us detailed Rover cards every day and lots of photos. Highly recommend.
Bethany did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of our pups!
