DDependable Walks, Cozy Care, and Lots of Love
Hi there! My name is Bethany, and caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs long, adventure-filled walks or a laid-back companion who prefers a slow stroll and belly rubs, I tailor every visit to fit each dog’s unique personality and needs.I understand that your dog is family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Safety, reliability, and clear communication are always my top priorities, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐾

I am a responsible and attentive dog caregiver with hands-on experience in dog sitting and walking for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have completed pet care and animal behavior training focused on canine body language, safe handling techniques, leash control, and positive reinforcement methods. My training includes understanding dog behavior, administering basic medications (oral/topical), managing feeding schedules, and maintaining consistent routines to reduce stress while owners are away. I am knowledgeable in recognizing signs of anxiety, illness, or discomfort and respond calmly and appropriately to ensure each dog’s safety and well-being. I am also trained in basic pet first aid and emergency preparedness, including how to handle common situations such as minor injuries, overheating, or unexpected behavioral issues during walks. I prioritize secure leash handling, situational awareness in public spaces, and clear communication with pet owners. Above all, I am patient, dependable, and committed to providing loving, structured, and safe care so dogs feel comfortable, exercised, and happy while in my care.
