One dog at a time by Brackett Park
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
My dog Dora is a former stray and I am always nervous to leave her with non-family members who don’t know her quirks. Dora did great at Betsy’s and I was able to enjoy my family vacation knowing Dora was safe and happy! I will definitely be using her as a Rover again!
Betsy took great care of our pup. She sent us pictures and updates. Good communicator. Our pup had a good time. Thanks, Betsy!
Betsy took wonderful care of our aging dog Corkie. We received regular updates with photos during his stay. Having a meet and greet helped Corkie be more comfortable with the new environment, and also helped us know he would be well taken care of.
Betsy has watched our dog several times and always goes above and beyond with her care!

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.

Information Betsy B. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.

Availability
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 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.
