I work overnights thurs-sat and have sun-weds free to do Rover care. Early mornings and evenings are best for me. I typically walk about 25k steps a day and can lift over 200lbs, so that carrying my 90lb dog in an emergency isn't an issue. This makes me ideal for large and giant pet owners, especially those with senior dogs.

I have experience with senior and disabled pets. I've never hesitated to put an animal first when it's in distress, but my ideal is to help prevent your pets from ever becoming distressed in the first place. Have experience with high anxiety, reactive, and shy animals.

Information Bethany K. would like to know about your pet

We do not breed descriminate in this household. I do need to know about their anxieties and fears so that we can best meet their needs. I take allergies seriously, so please disclose any ahead of the stay so I can keep your pet safe.

A typical day

We take a walk or play in the yard every morning before breakfast. During the day we typically alternate play and naps all day until dinner time. If the weather is nice, we go for additional walks throughout the day (usually 2-4 total). Dinner is followed by a final potty break before bed.

Pet care experience

Hi, I actually go by Asher but Rover won't let me update my name yet. I'm a former direct support professional for disabled humans. Lydia was my first dog, a 75 pound shepherd mix with anxiety that I slowly trained because she came from living in a shelter her entire life. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pet in a kennel where they can pick up diseases or pests, and they have dozens of animals to look after. In my home your pet would have their own space, be taken for walks regularly, and be given much more attention than at a kennel. Animals need attention in order to thrive, but sometimes busy lives make it hard to give all they deserve. Hiring help is the best way to meet their needs while you're taking care of the other parts of your life. March 2025 note: I am only able to do walks and drop ins at this time. My dog only accompanies me when prearranged with the owner's permission.

Asher is so wonderful with our two hounds. The dogs get so excited when Asher arrives. We were away for 3 weeks and there was never a time that we worried about our dogs. Both dogs have some health issues and Asher took care of them so well. Do not hesitate to use Asher. THE BEST!

Asher (Bethany is an outdated name that River hasn’t changed yet) is a wonderful, thoughtful dog sitter. We had Asher and partner Ben dog sit for our two dogs for 5 days. Asher gave regular updates and pictures of our two pups and they seemed always to be tired from all the playing! Our two pups seemed to get along well with Asher’s two pups. Highly recommend Asher for your next dog boarding.

Asher took care of our Oliver for an overnight stay. We came home to a happy boy, who clearly had a good time with his new pal. Thank you, Asher! We will definitely use you again!!
