Pet care experience

Betsy N @ The Doodle Den !

I’m new to ROVER, but a huge lover of all animals and especially dogs ! I have had the joy of caring for my own Golden Retrievers for over 20 years, training and watching them grow from playful pups to aging seniors. Have also fostered two wonderful St Bernards for five fun filled loving years. My latest love is my Mini Cavadoodle - Mable, who is my only dog at home currently . The experience from them all, taught me a lot about the many needs of dogs at every stage of their life. Whether its an energetic puppy or a more laid back senior , I’m always patient, calm and ready to meet each dogs unique personality. I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and breeds, and treat them just like family, and would love the chance to offer your dog the same loving and thoughtful care that I give my own. Currently, I am only accepting Doodle Dogs of all ages and sizes, however, will consider other types and sizes upon request and approval. We do have two cats at home that are very accustomed to all types of dogs. If I show that I’m booked on a time that you need , please still inquire because my situation may be able to accommodate. Meet and Greets are mandatory for the happiness of your pets and mine, as I like to take the time to get to know each dog’s unique routine and love finding out their quirks! Vaccinations must also be up to date. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and will keep you updated with texts and pictures throughout their stay . —— I am open to considering other types, sizes & situations . If I didnt mention your specific need - just ask !

Safety, trust & environment

Located in the desirable Eastwood Road/Mayfaire area of Wilmington, just minutes from Wrightsville Beach and within walking distance of Port City Community Church (PC3). Conveniently located near Mayfaire shopping and dining, Airlie Gardens, UNCW, and only a short drive to the beach . My pets are never unsupervised outdoors and are strictly leash-walked for all their needs. The neighborhood is a great low traffic area for long walks .

Schedule

I work remotely, so I am home a lot during the day for walks, playtime and companionship. And am happy to take them to dog parks or to the beach to walk the loop - or any of their necessary appointments, all based on your request and approval.

Please provide your pets updated vaccination schedule and flea treatment plan, as well as written step by step instructions with feedings and/or medicine instructions, as well as any allergies or other quirks I should know . Leashes and/or harnesses are required @ every visit.

Please provide all food, treats & bedding
