Dogs make my life fun

Pet care experience

I have always had a dog in my life. When I retired, I decided to give back for all the joy the dogs have given me. I was involved with dog rescue for 10 years, both fostering and running my own small dog rescue. I wanted every dog to find a great home and to be loved as much as they are here. When I am watching your baby in my home, it's like a play date for them. They get a lot of cuddles and play time. I have a fenced yard. I have two handicapped dogs that I took in as puppies. I wanted to be sure that they would always have a home and be well taken care of. This is the reason I only take in small dogs. I'm retired, so I am home all day. Your baby gets treated like one of my own. Lots of snuggles and kisses. We spend a lot of time outside if it is nice. We get a lot of potty breaks at my house since I am home all day. If the weather is nice, we spend a lot of time outside.

Betty sent us photos and a video of Dink enjoying himself while in her care. We were very pleased with every aspect of his stay with Betty. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home where their pet is well cared for. We will plan to use her again should the need arise.

Betty was just fantastic. We ended up having to dog sit for much longer than we anticipated due to the owner's sudden hospital stay. Betty had room for one more and accepted an active puppy into her care. Betty's house is clean and open. She uses baby gates to create boundaries for the pups. She loved on our friend's dog and introduced her to the others so they could play together. I highly recommend bringing your small dog to Betty!

Betty was wonderful and Cooper had a great time. She gave me updates and pictures throughout his time with her. Will definitely be going back!

Information Betty G. would like to know about your pet

Since my dogs are very small. I like to stay under 15 pounds. Usually, I like to talk to the owner and find out the dog's likes and dislikes. I want him/her to be happy visiting.

A typical day

We spend a lot of time outside playing in the yard, throwing a ball or the dogs playing tag with each other. Some days we may even go for a walk around the neighborhood.
