Professional Groomer and Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I am currently taking new clients again ✨🥳 I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and my entire career is based around dogs. I am a professional dog groomer. I have experience with puppies, potty training, and crate training. I strictly believe in positive reinforcements. I love animals and will treat yours as my own. I have no problems with cats- even as far as scooping your litterbox! I can also provide grooming and transportation. Including bathing, nail trimming, full haircuts, and trims. All groom is done through PetSmart facilities by me. Must be scheduled ahead of visit.
Reviews
Betsy did a wonderful job caring for our pets. She was friendly and knowledgeable. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats, and she had no problem managing and giving attention to all of them. And that can be quite the task! Our pets mean so much to us, and it was obvious Betsy has a love for animals. I highly recommend her and will be looking forward to working with her more in the future.
Betsy was absolutely amazing! She communicated with us the entire time we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates daily. She stayed in our home. We came home to a clean home. I have 100% confidence that our dogs were very well cared for and treated with love and affection. We will definitely use Betsy again in the future. I would absolutely recommend her.
Positive experience, good communication. Would utilize again. Only minor item was the door off of our kitchen was left open which allowed our dogs access to our basement.
Betsy was excellent, although our cats were not. Bad cats! There were a couple of instances of puke, which she cleaned up, and one cat that needed medicine which couldn't be located one day. She felt bad about that, but what can you do? Other than that, everything went well, Betsy was communicative, she shared photos when she could find the cats, and we felt quite comfortable leaving them with her. Will definitely have her back!

Safety, trust & environment
I will provide adequate potty breaks according to your dogs needs, walks, and your feeding regiment. All surfaces will be sanitized and I will wear a mask during any encounters to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
Information Betsy J. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog friendly with other pets? Do they struggle with food or toy aggression? Are there any allergies? What is your emergency vet and regular vet? Does your dog do well in the car? Do you have any breed specific needs (ex wiping folds of a bulldog)? Does you dog need regular grooming/brushing?
A typical day
My typical day consists of waking up early, potty breaks, and of course breakfast. During the lunch hours I will usually take all clients out for a walk, fetch, or even cuddling on the couch. As for night I usually settle in around 6:30-8pm (depending on the day).

Availability
I work my schedule to fit your needs. I generally underbook to avoid any conflicting schedules. I am available often as I only work my day job 3-4 days per week. I have my own safe vehicle, valid license, and insurance. I prefer to have set scheduled times, especially for overnight stays. I am willing to be flexible to your needs, as I understand you may be busy. For drop ins I will provide care with a 2 hour window of the selected time. For house sitting I will be in and out of the home to ensure potty breaks are consistent. I usually settle in for the night with your pups around 6:30 pm.
