Pet care experience

One dog at a time by Brackett Park

I said goodbye to my dog Tipper after 15 wonderful years in 2018. As a dog parent, I understand the difficulty of finding reliable dog care that provides a safe, comfortable and loving environment for vacations or overnight stays. I will provide a home-like environment for your little one that kennels and other boarding cannot. In addition I only take one dog at a time to ensure your dog gets all of the attention they deserve. I will consider up to two dogs from the same family as long as they are smaller breed. My neighborhood in south Minneapolis provides many outdoor spaces for exploring and discovery. Long walks provide plenty of opportunities to meet other pets in the neighborhood exercising both muscles and social skills that promote restful sleep. I will give your fur baby plenty of affection, lots of love and companionship while you need to be apart. As a full time receptionist with 30 plus years of experience, reliability and responsibility are my strengths. I have previous experience dog/house sitting for fellow coworkers and neighbors. I miss the unconditional love our pets give us and would love to help you.

Betsy is so wonderful!! She is very considerate and took great care of my pup for the day. She really gets dogs and my dog was sad to leave! I would book her anytime.

Betsy was above and beyond accommodating to our sweet Maggie. I appreciated all the updates throughout the day as well as photos. We would definitely recommend booking with Betsy to make your dog feel comfortable and well cared for.

Betsy is just wonderful. She is a clear communicator and very easy to work with. She took excellent care of our dog and sent updates. He really enjoyed us time with her and we are so thankful for her time and effort in caring for him!

Schedule

Important: I do work outside the home Monday through Friday so your dog will need to be ok alone when I'm at work for a full workday. I do not work from home. I can give them two or more walks in the morning and plenty of walks after work and even more on the weekend. I also have a private fenced in backyard for games of fetch or just to be off leash.

Safety, trust & environment

I can give plenty of walks and lots of play time and cuddles. I will do my best to make your pup feel right at home even though they are away from their own home. I have a fenced in backyard and have experience with dogs that are nervous when they are away from their owners.

A typical day

I live a block from Brackett park and close to the west river parkway so there are plenty of areas to walk. I also live close to dog parks.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Betsy can host up to 1 pet per night
I do require a meet and greet before I will book a request. I like to know your dog's schedule. What signals do they give when they need to go outside? What kind of food do they eat? Do they have any separation or anxiety issues and what can I do to best serve them when they are in my care? I am sorry but I can't accept large dogs. 40 pounds is my limit.
