“We can not say enough WONDERFUL things about Bethany !! The boys seemed so very happy when we returned , almost like they didn't miss us. Bethany's attention to detail was amazing, she even noticed Guinness limping but figured out it was due to the chilly ground. Not to mention being a professional dog trainer, she really knows her puppies. Our home was left spotless, truly not enough good things to say about this amazing house sitter. The boys are looking forward to their "Bethany time" n March. Thank you Bethany for loving "the boys", You are a gem!! Paw Hugs from Guinness & Henry”
About: I have always had a pet for as long as I can remember and I have loved them all dearly and enjoyed their company and taking care of them. Friends have had me check in on and care for their pets while they are busy with school or work. I enjoy meeting pets of all sizes and breeds and giving them the care and love I would give to my own pets. I am currently studying for a certification exam and do not hold another job but still need to make income. This works well with my schedule because I can take breaks from studying in order to care for other's pets. It is the perfect break from studying during the day and a great way to get myself out of the house. I make sure to respect every client's home and belongings when providing care to pets. I aim to make sure the space is clean and am happy to clean up any pet related accidents. I provide high-quality care to any pet and make sure to follow instructions correctly.
“Keisha could not have done a better job. She sent really awesome pictures and kept in contact. My animals are sometimes stressed when I come home from traveling, and they weren't after Keisha kept them. I hope she'll watch them again. She is wonderful!”
“Taylor was a god send for us. We had arranged for a previous sitter, not affiliated with Rover, who backed out about 10 days before our departure date. Having used Rover in the past, we conducted a quick search, found and met with 3 very qualified candidates. Taylor was the clear choice, and she was absolutely great. She and Lorelei, our soft wire dachshund, hit it off immediately. Taylor texted us and sent pictures while we were away. We would heartily recommend Taylor to anyone and will not hesitate to use her in the future.”
