Half acre fenced-in yard, pet haven
Pet care experience
I love to help people care for their pets, it’s important they are safe and loved while we travel! I have done this for many years and now I have plenty of space to host pets with a very large, fenced-in yard and comfortable rest areas while I’m at work. I am experienced in administering medication and happy to include walking in addition to playing in the yard.
Reviews
Betsy was amazing! I felt completely as ease while I was away on vacation. She truly went above and beyond in her communication and the way that she cared for my dog.
Betsy is a wonderful dog sitter. She kept me updated regularly with lots of pictures. She was also able to give ear drops to my squirmy dog who hates the drops, she can do it all!
Betsy was so wonderful! This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous, but she was so sweet and knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable! Her house is clean and has a huge backyard, which was perfect for our Bear! Betsy sent lots of pictures and was highly communicative. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to booking with her again.
Betsy was awesome. She’s truly a dog person - her home, yard, and personality are perfect for caring for your pup. She gave me daily updates, and when my dogs paw bled, she wrapped it up and ensured he was healthy and ready to play when I got home. Can’t say thanks enough!

Safety, trust & environment
I typically focus on potty needs right away and love to give attention by playing and petting. Unless otherwise instructed, I stick to a 10-12hr feeding cycle between breakfast and dinner. I don’t offer any supplies, but I think it’s helpful for consistency and comfort for a pet to have their familiar products while owners are away. Unless otherwise instructed, I allow animals on my furniture. Sleeping arrangements and totally flexible! I love to take pictures and send updates to owners at least once day!
Home
Information Betsy R. would like to know about your pet
It’s extremely important to me to know any unique reactions the dog can benefit from in times of stress or discomfort, and whether they have any ailments or behaviors that typically elicit concern but are being actively managed and a vet has deemed to be non threatening to their wellbeing. Any special attention the dog enjoys is highly welcomed, too!
A typical day
I have a half acre yard for dogs to explore and run around, I love to engage with the pets as much as possible! Indoors I love to provide a calm and comfortable place to rest.

Availability
I have a 15-30 minute commute from work with flexible hours so I am available for meeting at almost any time of day, and I prioritize feeding and potty schedules above all else.
