“Sijie was fantastic. My puppy really took to her and I can tell she made her feel at home. While I was out of town I received pics, videos, and messages about her walks, eating habits, and playtime. This was really helpful since this was my first time leaving my puppy for a week. Sijie was very quick to respond, and made sure that my puppy was well taken care of, and she followed all of my instructions.

About: Hi! I'm Beth. I’ve owned medium and large dogs my entire life. At one point I had three 90+ pound dogs which made me so happy! I have cared for high energy, playful, lazy, elderly, anxious, and special needs dogs. I have trained three of my dogs, and even though I’m not a professional trainer, I’m happy to support any training your pup is working on. I DO NOT take dogs who have not been house broken/potty trained. I work full time (M-F) but I go home at lunchtime for potty breaks, playtime, and/or mid-day walks. Each morning includes a walk and after work, a dog park visit or longer walk. Care includes feeding, walks, brushings, belly rubs, lots of pets and kisses, lots of toys to play with, and trips to the dog park if your dog likes dog parks. Can also provide down time for dogs who can get overwhelmed. I can administer oral medications as needed. I have a crate for your pup so you do not need to bring yours. It is cleaned and disinfected after each pup leaves. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed as long as they are potty trained and don't eat furniture. But if your pet is not allowed on furniture at home, I will keep those same rules in my house so your pup does not get confused. When I have dogs in the car, they are in the backseat and seat-belted in.
