Making a Career Caring for Your Pet
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Bethany and I have been caring for dogs for my entire life. I even made a career out of it for a decade! Including schooling, I was in the animal care field from 2010 to 2014 and was a registered veterinary technician from 2014 to 2022, after which I pursued other career interests. If your pet has special needs, especially medical, I am equipped with the knowledge and skill to make sure your pet is well taken care of. My prices reflect the loving expertise I will show your pet while caring for them. Currently, I work full time at a library. If you would like services in addition to those listed here (nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, bathing/brushing, etc) please ask! I am a strong advocate of rescue/adoption, Fear Free techniques, and positive reinforcement training, however my passion lies in helping senior pets with hospice care. My first dog, Chewie, was diagnosed with cancer and I discovered this passion while caring for him in his final year. Currently, I have adopted a rescued puppy mill mama Yorkie named Rey and a Miniature Schanuzer named Wicket. However, I have experience caring for a whole range of animals including cats, pocket pets, and exotics.
Reviews
Excellent service and wonderful communication. Highly recommended! 😊
Bethany has helped us a few times with our special needs pup. Knowing that she's certified and will have the skills to care for him is only a part of the reason we look towards her. Zapoto seems so happy in the pictures she sends us and just well taken care of when we get home.
Bethany was very helpful and took great care of my dog. I will definitely use her again
Bethany has watched my dogs for extended periods multiple times. She always provides exceptional care and has on multiple occasions used her knowledge as a veterinary tech to help my dogs through injury or other conditions. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for dogwalking or dogsitting services!

Safety, trust & environment
While at a client's house, I prefer to keep to the pet's normal routine as much as possible as disruption can cause stress. So please let me know how you take care of your pets at home, what their daily routine is line, and how they spend their time so I can make sure they can be as stress free as possible while you are away.
Information Bethany C. would like to know about your pet
I have the most experience with small dogs, but I don't have any restrictions on breed or size. Before sitting/walking a dog, I would like to know what the dog is like. Do they walk easy on a leash or pull? Do they require special equipment like a harness over a collar, a wheelchair, etc? Are they dog/people friendly or do I need to use extra care when outside while walking them? Do they require special medical care or medication? Do they have any issues that I need to be aware of, such as medical diagnoses like diabetes? What veterinarian can I call if needed and do I have permission to authorize care and use a form a payment? What are their favorite activities, toys, and treats? Where do you normally take them for walks and such? Do they have a favorite place to be touched/scratched or do they not like to be handled much?
A typical day
I love going to local parks and walking through them. For dog parks, I prefer that they have strict guidelines and rules such as making sure pets are fully vaccinated and dog/people friendly as this helps ensure the safety and health of pets using the park. If your dog enjoys playing games like fetch or rope tug, please let me know as I love seeing pets really having fun and letting off their energy in positive ways.
