Highlights
Pet care experience
Boarding, Daycare, Walks & Drop-Ins
I specialize in small and medium dogs, along with seniors and special needs dogs. I've worked from home for 15+ years, which means constant, cozy company for your dog, with no long stretches alone. - I board small dogs overnight (up to 25 lbs.) and accept small and medium dogs for drop-in daycare in my home. - I can walk and drop in your home for dogs of all sizes. I've also volunteered with birds and horses, so patience and hands-on care come naturally to me. After adopting my sweet senior dog at age 14, I stayed by his side until he passed at 17. Caring for dogs now is how I honor his memory. I'd love to spoil your pup while you're away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bethany is a very personable and dog oriented person. My dog was thrilled to meet her. Though the booking was short this time, I hope to be able to work with Bethany again when I am sorted.
Absolutely satisfied and our pups enjoy the walks with her!!
Took great care of my dogs.
Bethany has been keeping my dog for quite some time now. I travel about 3x a year and I always go to her first. Simon loves going to her house. He is well cared for and loved and I don’t have to worry whether he’s in good hands. She does a great job! I highly recommend her.
Bethany is so caring and loving with pets, especially senior dogs. She puts her whole heart in to caring for and supporting the needs of pets who are aging/needing extra care and attention. I 100% trust her to pay attention to all of the detailed needs that a dog might have, and to be compassionate and communicate well with the human owners as well :-) I highly recommend her for any pet care needs.
Bethany is an extremely great caregiver for all ages of dogs and cared for her previous one with all the love that she had in her. Bethany would always feed him and being him everywhere with her, making him feel loved and happy when he passed on. She would always check if something would go wrong with leaving him alone or make precautions when letting him walk around.

Schedule
Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. Your dog will have constant 24/7 companionship, regular gentle potty breaks, and a calm, cozy environment. I have two friendly, medium-sized dogs who are crate-trained and great with small and senior pups. For complete safety and comfort, any dog I sit stays right by my side and is never left alone with other pets.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on creating a secure, low-stress environment for every pet. When hosting in my home, guest dogs receive constant supervision, stay with me all day long, and have access to a safe, fully fenced yard for fresh air and gentle potty breaks. My own two dogs are friendly, well-mannered, and crate-trained, ensuring smooth boundaries and a calm atmosphere. Whether in my home or yours, I respect every dog’s individual pace, mobility needs, and daily routine, and I am happy to accommodate special care/needs for senior dogs and dogs of all ages.
