“We dropped our dog off for doggy daycare and got a great midday pic and update on how he was doing. He was wore out on the drive home and we really appreciate the care they gave him.”
“Charles is truly a dog person! He takes the time to get to know them and rolls with the punches (or should I say barks, especially in my dogs case!). He’s very caring with the dogs and I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog there, and since she’s a rescue it was her first time going to a place like this. I highly recommend Charles and Wag N wheels. Great people and great facility!”
“My husband and I had to find a new sitter for our sweet pup Archie. Bethany made it easy for us. She was very responsive and scheduled a meet and greet right away. We felt very comfortable with her. She has a lot of experience and took the time to answer all of our questions. She took care of Archie all day yesterday for the first (and not the last) time and we had a great experience. She sent lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the day. Archie had a great time playing in the fenced in backyard. We will be using Bethany in the future and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve raised and taken care of dogs all my life. I own two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly to other dogs and people. I take my dogs out every 3-4 hours, usually whenever I come home between classes. I also walk my dogs when needed, as well as, feed them once a day. I always make sure the dog is loved and happy. I take time to play with them and give them pets. I also make sure they have food, water, and anything else they may need. I have given dogs medication before, so that will not be too difficult for me.
About: Ever since I was a child, I have been mildly obsessed with animals (insert mental image of a little kid with horses all over her bright pink shirt and a stuffed Bernes Mountain dog glued to her side). At the time, my parents were strongly against having pets. I was deeply offended by this decision, and did not understand their hands were already full with five "animals:" my four siblings and me. Eight year old Kat knew she needed to get creative and outsource her time with animals. That's when I began working on a horse farm. I spent most days cleaning stalls, feeding horses and playing with the barn cats. This was my happy place, my home away from home. It was at this time I also began dog sitting for various families throughout our neighborhood. Although I think I was more of an annoyance to the first dog I looked after (sorry Ginger), I learned to be responsible and dependable. When I moved away to college, I looked for a new way to spend time with animals and began volunteering at a local shelter. Through the shelter, I began fostering cats and dogs, gained experience feeding newborn kittens, leash training large dogs and giving medications to senior pets. I loved learning each individual's personality and finding new ways to build playful and loving relationships based on trust. I later worked as a receptionist for a fear-free veterinary clinic and was exposed to pets of all dispositions and backgrounds. I am comfortable caring for pets with various illnesses, allergies, parasites and high anxiety. TLDR: I am a long time animal lover, with over 15 years of experience working/volunteering on farms and petsitting. I am confident around animals of any age, whether hoofed, clawed, scaled or winged! I am not easily grossed out by a snotty nose, or the occasional poopy bottom and will meet your pets energy wherever they need to be met. Whether you are looking for someone to walk your jumpy puppy or be a calm companion for your shy old cat, I am a great fit! PS: Now I know you are wondering, “ But Kat, did you ever get your own dogs?” and the answer is YES! I grew up with two Westie puppies and, several years later, welcomed Kody, our rescue german shepherd/husky mix to the family. (Pictures included) I am currently working a part time job (three 8hr shifts a week) which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and accommodate a wide range of pet needs. I am available to provide house sitting for an additional fee or make multiple visits per day as needed. I enjoy driving which allows for consistent, attentive care tailored to each pet. Every pet parent has a different routine when it comes to caring for their pet. It is my job as the sitter to adhere as closely to this routine as possible. It can be scary having new people in your home (especially when your parents are away), and maintaining a known schedule is extremely beneficial for reducing your pet's anxiety . I also believe in clear, consistent communication with my clients, so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
