Safety, trust & environment

My dogs have a lot of freedom - but they have worked hard to earn it! I want to share my life with them so we started training from the day they arrived. I believe in awards based training and understanding the psychology of dogs, so we have a lot of mutual respect and patience for one another. Im proud to say I can take my guys anywhere and I do! that's not to say any of us are perfect but I provide security, exercise, boundaries, and games to keep us all a happy family. I offer the same approach to your pet(s)

Information Bettine R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements such as weak knees, breathing issues etc so I can be prepared before my visit. Thanks! If your dog is 100 percent friendly with other dogs and you would like him or her to partake in a group walk I can arrange that as well.

A typical day

I practice a lot of sports with my dogs. And I incorporate foundation work into my dog walks. If you would prefer your dog did not swim or get mucky please let me know. I will always return your dog towel dried and tired! But I can also stick to leashed pavement walks if that is your preference. If the weather is really bad I will find a sheltered place to play games so that the outing is still fulfilling for them.

More than just a dog walk

Pet care experience

My first dog shared my crib with me and I have never been without a canine companion since! Currently I have two dogs - a completely bonkers Australian koolie and rescue dog I call the "house coyote". For the last 3 years we have travelled all around North America and Mexico in my little motorhome in search of the ultimate dog walk. I have worked and volunteered at vet offices and dog shelters and have yet to ever meet a dog I don't like. From the grumpy ones, to the frightened and the injured to the athlete - each dog is unique and it's my superpower to be able to recognize and harness what motivates him or her in order to bring as much satisfaction to their lives as I can. That I why I incorporate dog training disguised as games into my walks. I believe dogs need to exercise their brains as well as their bodies and your dog will return to you happy and fulfilled.

Bettine is the only person who my dog, Hazel, will allow to take her for a walk. She trusts her completely and so will your pup. Bettine understands dogs and will make sure your dog gets the best walk and the best care. Highly recommend!

Bettine would make an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker. Her love for animals is immediately clear the moment she’s around them, and her excitement for meeting and learning about new dogs is both genuine and heartfelt. She is incredibly patient and caring, always taking the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’ve entrusted Bettine with the care of my own pets, and never once had a moment of doubt—they were always treated with the utmost attention, kindness, and affection. It’s rare to find someone who combines such natural compassion with true reliability, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
