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.

Bethany was able to help out with our dog super last minute when travel plans got delayed. She did a great job following directions and taking care of our dog!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
