Caring for one love at a time

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.

We are extremely grateful for Bethany’s care and attention to every detail. We had amazing communication from day one and we feel fortunate to have had her taking care of our dog. Our dog is reactive to other dogs and she absolutely won her heart and was able to work with her to reduce her reactiveness over the week that she came to our home and sit her. Bethany was curious to ask questions and completely respected our boundaries with keeping our dog separated from other dogs and children. You did an absolutely amazing work and we are very thankful for your care. Would recommend 100% Bethany to everyone that has anxious and reactive dogs and is not sure of who to take care of their pets.

Bethany has dog sit twice for us. She did a great job and gave us great peace of mind knowing that our dog was well taken care of.

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.
