Highlights
Pet care experience
Cats and dogs are my world
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. 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 2023, I completed a week of volunteering at a rural cat & dog animal welfare clinic in Mexico. Previously, while living in Thailand for ten 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. :)

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bettina was fantastic! We highly recommend her. Very informative, thorough, and wonderful with our dog and cat.
Bettina was really great!! She took the time and effort to try to get our Nala to warm up to her (our cat is very shy and skittish so not an easy feat!) I always worry about our cat when we’re away but felt completely at ease and relieved to have Bettina checking in on her. The peace of mind was priceless for me :). Bettina also went above and beyond and brought in our mail and watered our porch flowers - thank you! We will definitely try to schedule her the next time! She really is wonderful!
Bettina was fantastic with our dog, and very respectful of our home. Highly recommend her
Bettina is one in a million! She is an exceptionally wonderful pet sitter. We are able to go away knowing our cats are receiving the best care!
Bettina is the best cat sitter ever! She’s gentle and kind with our cat George and we appreciate her daily updates and photos!
She is the best. We have used her services multiple timea.

Schedule
I 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. Additionally, I recently converted a spare bedroom into a comfortable place to board cats.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow directions according to your wishes in caring for your pet. 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/or be active! All 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.
Pets
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 pet I am watching and on your preferences. Oh, and I am an expert cat snuggler, just ask Tigger!
- CatsBettina can host up to 3 pets per night
- 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?
