Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure with each pet that I feed them at least twice a day and walking/playing with them at least once for a minimum of 30 mins. I am also comfortable bathing a pet if it is necessary.

Information Bethany W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any behavioral concerns, how well they get along with others, and preference for length of play time. I can work with any pet as long as I know how best to keep them and others safe.

A typical day

I love to play fetch and tug-of-war with the dogs I play with! I also love teaching and reinforcing tricks with operant conditioning. I love walking around the city and enjoying the weather!

Caring for one love at a time

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. Through my PhD program I have experience in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) training to work with and correct challenging behaviors. I would love to continue to give pets the love and attention they deserve while their human is away.
