Former ER Vet Tech/Behaviorist

Pet care experience

Hello there! After spending 20 years in the corporate veterinary world and running that rat race I’ve opted for a more simple, slow life. Take care of the people in my community, their homes and our pets. Walk some dogs, pet some kitties, enjoy my day. 😉🐾♥️ 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.

First time using Rover for me & had a fantastic experience with Beth. Superb communication, followed all instructions and the cats loved her! She even helped take care of the plants!! Would 100% recommend and I certainly plan to use her services again in the future. Thank you!

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.

Bethany is a godsend!! She helped with our spicy meatball Poe, a cat that normally gets very stressed when we leave. We came back and Poe was happy. I highly recommend Bethany!

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!
