Highlights
Pet care experience
Furry Fun, Trusted Care
I retired from teaching 4 years ago and have been caring for pets in their homes, cleaning litter boxes and taking dogs out for exercise during that time. I have personally owned 2 large dogs well into their senior years. I have had cats my entire life and still have one. I typically take care of cats and dogs when their owners are away; feeding, administering pills, cleaning litter boxes, exercising/playing with dogs, and playing/cuddling with cats. I believe these visits have been the most rewarding activities of my life.

Safety, trust & environment
I have been providing care for pets in the owners’ homes. I therefore water and feed the cats and dogs and administer pills, if needed. I clean litter boxes and tidy up, making sure pet hair, etc. is cleaned up. I get the mail and take out trash. I play/cuddle with the cats and exercise/play/cuddle with the dogs. I love to walk so I never get enough of walking dogs. I take extra precautions if dogs are anxious when I have to leave for a while, i.e., leave music or TV playing or do something special with the dogs before I leave. The dogs usually sleep in the bed with me and we become great friends.
Ratings and reviews
This is a repeat visit with Betty and she is wonderful. Our senior cat and youngish dog both love her and are healthy and happy when we return home. Betty goes above and beyond when house-sitting. Not only are the animals well taken care of, the house is too! She watered our outdoor plants and washed the sheets and towels she used before leaving. The kitchen was spotless and everything was in order. We already have Betty booked for a return visit. I hesitate to write such a glowing recommendation because she will become harder and harder to book with.
Probably the best person I’ve ever dealt with on rover- she actually cares, very nice, very good with my dog, and super easy to work with. Highly recommend and will use her many more times !
Betty is wonderful. We are repeat customers and always feel at ease with Betty taking care of our boys (dog and cat) as well as our house. The boys are happy and healthy when we return and the house is in order. She sends pictures and comments daily which is nice. She is great about taking our dog for daily walks, something we count on.
Betty was an amazing companion for Elvis while we were away!! She was so good about sending pictures every day and keeping us updated on what he was up to. She also looked after the house and handled mail, a repairman, garbage collection, etc. I will definitely be using Betty again and again!!
This is a repeat visit for Betty and what can I say, she is great!
Betty took great care of our pup Margo while we were away for a wedding! She met with her twice beforehand, as Margo can be a bit anxious with new people, but Betty took care of her expertly. We will definitely book Betty again!

Schedule
As a retired teacher, I am flexible to care for pets any day of the week. I am also willing to stay overnight in your home and be your pet’s companion. I still have a cat of my own on whom I like to check at some point each day if staying nights at another pet owner’s home. Sometimes the owners I serve are away for 7-15 days at a time. I will send daily updates and pictures as well during your absence.
