Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll love your pets as much as you!
(Exotics, farm critters, and more also welcome!) Everyone who has known me for more than 5 minutes can tell you three things about me: 1. It would not be surprising to find out at any moment that I have a new animal living with me. 2. I should be sent every dog, reptile, or guinea pig meme you come across. 3. If we’re out in public and I disappear, it’s probably because I saw a dog I desperately needed to say hello to. I grew up with dogs and cats, and my family regularly boarded our friends’ pets. As a teenager, I volunteered during the summers as a wrangler at a horse camp. In the 12 years college, petsitting has been my favorite side gig, and I’ve done many a volunteer stint with various rescues. I particularly love caring for dogs, since my apartment complex rules don't allow me to have one of my own. (Instead, I have a menagerie of two rats, two guinea pigs, a snake, a turtle, and a gecko.) All this to say, I’m the seasoned animal lover you can easily trust with your critters! I have a particular soft spot for the ones with special needs, and am completely comfortable with any extra care that may entail (pun intended). I can’t wait to meet you and your furry, feathered, or scaled loved ones!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
CARE & SAFETY For smaller pets I can accommodate in my home, I make sure to keep their climate comfortable and my own pets safely contained. I am happy to provide playtime or free-roam time according to your preferences. In your home, you can rest assured that the routine your pet is used to will look exactly the same under my care as it does under yours. I am meticulously cautious about locked cages and doors, proper storage of food and medications, behavioral awareness and appropriate responses, and basic first aid.
Ratings and reviews
We are so lucky to have found Beta!! They were able to make a connection with our anxious pup right away and totally put us at ease. They were kind, communicative, and left our apartment in perfect condition. Through the pictures Beta sent, we could tell that our pup was well taken care of and happy. We look forward to working with Beta again and wholeheartedly recommend them!!
Beta was lovely to work with and great with our pups. Very communicative and helpful and a good pup pic taker which is weirdly rare on here. Will definitely book them again!
Beta instantly passed the vibe check at the meet and greet with our crew (2 dogs and 1 cat) with all animals smothering them within minutes. Absolutely obsessed. We could tell Beta is an animal lover through and through and so could the crew. Beta took amazing care of the them and sent daily photos, which provided us with peace of mind we needed and allowed us to enjoy our trip fully without worry! We’ll definitely book Beta again. Highly recommend!
Beta was amazing! Helpful and quick to the rescue for a last minute booking.
Beta looked after our two cats while we were away and kept in touch with daily updates. They were easy to communicate with and made sure all the basics were taken care of. We appreciated their consistency and felt comfortable knowing the cats were being checked in on each day.
Beta was so wonderful house sitting for our two pups! We got the sweetest updates everyday and felt totally at ease while out of town knowing our dogs were so well cared for. Would absolutely book again!
