Cats and dogs are my world
Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm in Germany with dogs, cats and horses and all of them have been part of my life ever since. During my 58 years on this earth, I have never been without a furball. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and have cared for puppies/kittens, active and senior dogs and cats. In March 2023, I completed a week of volunteering at a cat&dog animal welfare clinic in Mexico. Previously, while living in Thailand for nine years, I rescued countless stray cats and dogs, partnered with a local vet to get them neutered and vaccinated and personally nursed them back to health. This is how my current dog, Bruno, and cat, Tigger, came into my life. :)
Reviews
I am really glad we contacted Bettina! She was excellent with our pets and I felt really comfortable leaving with them in her care. She is very kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. Our bunny needed extra attention and she took the time to do research ahead of our meet and greet so that she would be prepared. It was easy to tell she loves animals and that she got to know both our pets and their personalties well. 😊
Bettina is the best! She helped us watch our two cats while we were out of town and did a great job. She was responsive, thoughtful, professional and a great communicator. She was also incredibly warm and interactive with our cats, who immediately felt comfortable around her - even our shy cat who tends to be timid around strangers. I would happily recommend Bettina to anyone that needs a friendly, responsible pet sitter that they can depend on!
Bettina was so great with our cat! She’s was very professional and communicative with us, we felt at peace
Bettina was amazing and we will definitely hire her again! Very friendly, punctual and have our pups a little extra attention. Thank you Bettina!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow directions according to your wishes in caring for your pet. I am attentive, patient and full of love and affection for fur babies. When I visit and/or walk your pet, I focus on them 100 percent, because this is their time to have fun, get snuggles and be active! Cell phone stays in the pocket and attention is on them! Since I have cared for many injured animals all of my life, I stay calm in times of stress and am comfortable in administering necessary care and medication. I do have private pet care insurance.
Home
Information Bettina B. would like to know about your pet
For walks, I would like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs we might encounter on our outings. How about people? Do you want the walks to be pure exercise or a mix of exercise, sniffing and exploring. Is your dog/cat allergic to any treats? Can I bring treats?
A typical day
I love exploring the neighborhoods with my dog, let him sniff to his heart's content and will do the same with your's because outside time = THEIR time. During drop-ins, we will play and get crazy or just chill and relax with backscratches. Everything depends on the needs of the animal I am watching and on your preferences. Oh, and I am an expert cat snuggler, just ask Tigger!

Availability
I work from home and am very flexible for drop-ins and daily walks. I walk my own dog three times a day in any kind of weather/temperature and I will do the same for yours. I am available to check in on your cat(s) as often as you would like me to. Getting head-butts and hearing their purrs is the best! Additionally, I recently converted a spare bedroom into a comfortable place to board cats.
