Experience with all kinds of dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi there! After a couple of years away, I am reactivating my Rover account! I recently graduated from UB with a masters in engineering management. Rover has been a great way to earn some extra money and is what I am doing full-time while I search for a career. Walks and drop ins are my main focus currently but I will accept some housesitting jobs from returning clients. I have always loved dogs, and have had experience with them at all ages. I recently worked at a doggie daycare for 1.5 years, so I have learned much about safety and dog language when multiple dogs are involved. This is a fun job and I will always make sure your pets are well taken care of! Feel free to follow my Instagram account @care.by.bethany Housesitting: Here's where I have the most experience! I've watched houses and pets for friends many times in the past, and it's something I really enjoy. I'll always keep your house clean and respect your property, along with keeping your pets happy of course! I like to meet up beforehand to go over everything in person. Walking and drop-ins: Drop-ins are perfect for people who don't feel great about leaving their pets alone all day. This is especially useful when you have a new pup that isn't used to the new routine yet. I will use this time however you think is most beneficial. DIFFICULT DOG EXPERIENCE: I have plenty of experience with reactive walkers! My dog Wilson is extremely anxious and reactive, and I understand that anxious dogs have good days and bad days. I am also not a small person and can handle large breeds and strong dogs with no problem. I have raised several puppies so I am no stranger to jumping and leash pulling. While I enjoy easy walks, I am not afraid of difficult ones. Please understand that I may need to adjust my rates for extra difficult dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Bethany was excellent! She immediately got along with our (large) dog and made it so easy to go away for the weekend, knowing our dog would be well taken care of. Bethany communicated very quickly and gave me all the updates a worried dog Mom might want!

We have two puppies and a 16 year old dog. All of them were on different doses of medication when Bethany stayed with them. She did an amazing job! Our dogs were so happy when we got back in the house looked great too. We were very lucky to find Bethany!

Bethany was great!! Our dog can be a handful, and Bethany seemed to take care of her with ease. The house was nice and clean when we got home. This was our first time using rover, and I was definitely nervous. Bethany made me feel comfortable, and more importantly made our anxious dog feel comfortable, too!

Safety, trust & environment

I work hard to keep your pets in the routine they’re used to. This means I’ll do my best to feed them at specific times, walk them, crate them, etc. You just let me know how you like things to be done!

Information Bethany S. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs, medication, or behavioral issues. I like to know if your dog is not friendly towards other dogs or people, and if they are anxious.

A typical day

Typically I try to keep your pup in their usual routine. If they enjoy hikes or car rides it’s not uncommon for me to bring the dog(s) I’m watching with me to do various things throughout the day. I’m also open to bringing them to a park for a change of scenery. I have a jeep so fitting big dogs in my car isn’t a problem!

I currently have no other jobs, so my schedule is pretty open. However, I do have to make sure my dogs are not left alone more than 8 hours at a time so I will not be accepting jobs that require me to be with your dog most of the day, which is why housesitting is not a great fit for me right now. Walks and drop ins are best!
