Former ER Vet Tech/Behaviorist
Pet care experience
Hello there! After spending 20 years in the corporate world and running that rat race I’ve embraced my inner hippy and opted for a more simple, slow life. Walk some dogs, pet some kitties. 😉🐾♥️ Started working in my first Vet Hospital in 2000 as a kennel tech, obtained specialized RVT degrees in Behavior (2010), than Critical Care (2012) and worked my way up to managing speciality clinics before “retiring” in 2022. I have been sitting for clients of my clinics for years and would like to keep doing so. Am very comfortable with all animals, any species or breed. Due to my medical experience, I am able to administer medications or any physical therapy your old or special needs pets may require. Disease processes such as Cushings, Diabetes, Seizures, etc are not a problem at all. Have experience on farms, so the chickens, rodents, fish and reptiles you may own will also be in good hands. An avid gardener and houseplant mom means even your leafy children will be safe!! Am available most days and times in some capacity. Holidays and weekends available. I am happy to oblige to any special requests or needs you and your pets may have, although due to liability reasons I cannot take dogs anywhere off leash. So no dog parks unfortunately.
Reviews
Bethany stayed with our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. Throughout our trip, Bethany provided daily updates about how the dogs were doing, along with pictures. We really appreciated the great communication. When we arrived home, our dogs were happy and healthy. We highly recommend Bethany, and will be asking her to stay with our dogs again the next time we are out of town.
Beth was great! It was our first time leaving our pup alone with a non-family member. We met her and instantly Charlie, our anxious dog, was calm (even jumped up on her lap). She shared updates with us throughout the visit which was great and I knew he was in good hands. Thanks Beth, really appreciate you taking care of our boy!
Beth is extremely reliable and a great communicator with both us and our "senior" 3 cats. She learned their personalities quickly and accomodated their regular schedule. We were super happy with her care. And the kitties were very relaxed when we came home. We'll definitely use her services again.
Beth was incredible with my fur babies. She was loving towards them and always on time. She was amazing!

Whatever your requests/rules are will be followed. I don’t care for pets in my own home but if you have a very social critter I could certainly set up some play dates!
Information Bethany R. would like to know about your pet
I would appreciate knowing about any behavior “issues”, medications given, time, special code training commands and what their normal routine looks like. Makes it easier on everyone.

Completely up to the owner and what you would like. Unfortunately due to liability reasons I cannot bring dogs anywhere off leash tho. So no dog parks.

PLEASE NOTE: I’m fairly busy running around, caring for critters during the day…. So when requesting house sitting please be aware I’m going to be in and out a lot during daylight hours. Clingier dogs may not be a good fit.
