Home in the woods

I have taken care of several dogs at my home in Barrington. It's wooded and far off the main road, and the pups love it! I'd also love to pop into your house and walk your dogs, or stay at your home to care for your pets.

Betsey is so good to Stella. I don’t think she wanted to come home (lol).

Betsy is a delight, from her caring nature to her comforting responsiveness, reliability and more. Our shy kitty cat Sayde took very little time before she was snuggling up to Betsy, which came across in the many photos that Betsy sent our way. Betsy has our strong recommendation, and we look forward to again using her valued services!

Betsy did a great job looking after Juniper. Juniper was tired and seemed like she enjoyed her stay.

Betsy was great! We left our small dog Guppy with her overnight, and she had a great time. Betsy was very responsive and took great care of our dog, we definitely plan to work with her again.

House Sitting • Mar 10, 2025

Betsy was wonderful. She stayed at our house to take care of our 2 dogs and our chickens. It is very comforting to know someone is giving our beloved pets the love and attention they require. The dogs loved her! Thanks Betsy!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is in the woods surrounded by walking trails. Dogs can be kept on a leash according to your preference. They love it here!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks through our woods; lots of things to see, smell & hear. Additionally, we'll play with whatever toys they like, as well as get lots of pets & cuddles (if that's what they want).

Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements. A dog that does best in my home will be relatively calm & not particularly clingy, and love to spend time outdoors.
