She played, did some crafts, and was so well taken care of.

If you’re doubting if you should book- just do it!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a passion of mine. My experience includes working at a veterinary hospital and completing schooling as a veterinary assistant, giving me hands-on knowledge of pet health and care. I treat every pet that comes into my home as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and individualized attention. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, visiting the park or dog park (with the owner’s permission), and making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My daughters are also animal lovers and enjoy having pets in our home. They understand the importance of being gentle and respectful, helping create a welcoming, family-oriented environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. In addition to daily care, I’m experienced in administering oral medications and injections when prescribed, as well as providing basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims. My goal is to give every pet the same level of care, comfort, and attention I’d want for my own, while giving pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is in caring, capable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around the pets in my care to ensure they receive timely meals, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether I’m providing boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident that their furry family members are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. Boarding (my home): Pets staying in my home are treated like family. They receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, regular potty breaks, fresh water, meals according to their schedule, and a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I work to maintain their normal routine to help them feel relaxed and at home. House Sitting (client’s home): I care for pets in the comfort of their own home while maintaining their regular routine. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medications if needed, cleaning up after pets, and providing companionship. I also respect and care for the home by bringing in mail, watering plants if requested, and keeping everything tidy. Drop-In Visits: During each visit, I provide fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, playtime, affection, and a quick wellness check. I also send updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing. Dog Walking: Every walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level and needs. I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, ensure access to water when needed, and wipe paws after walks if requested. I always monitor pets closely for signs of stress, fatigue, or discomfort. No matter which service I provide, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind through dependable care and regular communication.

About: I’ve had a cat for as long as I can remember. I frequently watch my sister’s cats as needed while taking care of my own. I currently only work part-time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets each week as needed for your schedule! I will be an attentive pet sitter for your pet and make sure all of their needs are taken care of and that they are enjoying themselves!

“Beth was amazing! Our fur baby instantly fell in love with her. She was prompt for every walk. After the second walk Bella was actually sitting by the window looking for her next visit, super cute :) She sent detailed information and pictures from each stroll. Highly recommend Beth for any petsitting needs.”
