Pet care experience

I have had dogs, cats, horses...you name it! I was a dog sitter for many years but I put the business on hold after we had to put down our own chihuahua Peep two years ago. While I still don't feel ready to have another dog, I'm eager to take care of other people's dogs and give them the care and love they deserve while their people are away. I work from home so rest assured your pet is always being watched over. While dog sitting, I never leave a dog alone for the first 1-2 days. After that, the most I would be away for would be a few hours. I have new clients fill out a new client information form so that I know everything there is to know about your pup while you are away. I also send daily pupdates to let you know how your pet is doing!

Betsy B and family took great care of our pup while we were away for the week. Our little rat terrier, Lilah, doesn't socialize well with other dogs so a kennel or traditional boarding is not an option. Betsy listened to my concerns and everything went well. Betsy exceeded all expectations, keeping me updated with photos throughout the stay. Lilah came back relaxed and happy. She enjoyed staying at a place with a yard and all of her walks. I keep joking she likes her "new family" more than us, lol. I can tell Lilah was happy and relaxed while staying with Betsy.

Betsy and her family were so wonderful. She was super responsive and very attentive. Having my pup get to spend time with her kiddo warmed my heart so much! I highly recommend and definitely will be reaching out to her again. I'm sure Layna will love to reconnect as well! Thanks again!

Information Betsy B. would like to know about your pet

Please be aware that I have a 3 year old daughter; your dogs would need to demonstrate good behavior during a Meet & Greet before I can commit to watching the dog. My daughter has been around small dogs for most of her little life and is very gentle and sweet with them. I prefer all dogs to be potty trained to go to the bathroom outside. I understand that many little dogs will need a potty pad left out if they are left alone and that sometimes dogs have accidents and that is okay. **For any new clients booking 5 nights or more, I require that you book a 1 night stay prior to that booking to make sure that we are a good fit for your dog(s). That 1 night stay will be 20% off the regular price.

A typical day

I treat dogs as members of the family. They can sit on the couch and even sleep in our bed. I want them to feel at home while they are here. If your dog needs multiple walks a day...no problem! We also have a large fenced yard and live just a few blocks to a couple different parks so there will be no shortage of exercise.
