Experienced & loving pet caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi there, My name is Bethany, and my husband Brandon and I are proud parents of three fur-children and one human child, Bree! 😄 We are a household of animal lovers and would be honored if you chose our home for your dog’s safe-keeping while you are away. You are never alone if the dog is home with you! I find being home alone with dogs and cats to be the most comforting feeling! I would love to spend my time at home loving on the extra doggins around! Recent Experience: The last 5 years of pet ownership and care has essentially been senior, special needs and hospice care as our beloved dachshunds, Gracie and Allie, aged. We lost them both in 2022 and during that long process I learned more than I ever wanted to know about spines, kidneys, teeth, and pain management (among many other things) in aging dogs. I have a special place in my heart for seniors and can assure you that your frosty faced baby will be in capable hands. Volunteer history: Georgia Homeless Pets - Volunteer and Foster Renegade Rescue - Volunteer and Foster Tampa Bay SPCA - Volunteer Friends of Strays St. Petersburg - Volunteer Dunedin Doggie Rescue - Volunteer and Foster Why I love dog sitting: I grew up on a farm in Missouri helping my family raise cows, chickens, horses and our many dogs. I get my love for animals from my mother, who also grew up on a farm! There were always dogs running around the house like four legged siblings and I loved to help with training our dogs or when an animal on our farm was sick or injured.

Bethany was incredibly welcoming and communicative. My dog felt right at home there. I appreciated the daily check-ins and photos, which showed my dog having a great time in the backyard and with the other dogs. When I returned to pick him up, he greeted me enthusiastically, having clearly enjoyed his stay. We'll definitely reach out to Bethany for future dog-sitting needs.

My experience was awesome. The vibe was warm and friendly. I think I’ve found my forever doggie sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Our typical household environment is calm and low volume. All three of our pets have affectionate and patient temperaments which makes our home a great option for senior and/or anxious pups. Our young dachshund, Penny, is the most welcoming, sweetest, and submissive girl who still has some puppy energy. She would be extra excited for a playmate, however she has also learned that senior dogs like their space! We have a large, fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore! Fresh water, shade and cooling mats will be out on hot days.

Information Bethany M. would like to know about your pet

Dog(s) must be OK with cats and children. Our 7 year old daughter loves animals and will want to pet, play and interact with your dog during their stay. She is a budding animal enthusiast! Dog(s) MUST have a recent dose of FLEA MEDS and CURRENT on their VACCINES! We want our babies to stay healthy while we care for yours. I will do my best to keep your pet on their current daily routine to minimize disruption back at home. Please provide detailed instructions regarding medication dosage and general daily routine at home.

A typical day

Daily Feeding/Potty Schedule: 6-8a: Out to potty first thing then 1st AM feeding. 11a-3p: Backyard potty break and/or 20 minute walk. 5p-7p: 2nd PM feeding and potty break. 9p-11p: Last potty break before bedtime. We typically walk around our suburban neighborhood at least twice a week, and we are often in our backyard with the dogs while they roam around. We play fetch or lounge on the sunny patio! I am happy to accommodate as many or few walks as is preferred during the stay. Sleeping Arrangements: We have found visiting dogs to feel safest and most comfortable at night in their own crate or bed. However if other sleeping arrangements are preferred, we can likely accommodate.
