Pet Sitting & Walking Services

Experienced, professional and reliable pet sitting and dog walking services

When you must travel – whether overnight or for an extended period – Betsey cares for your pets in the safe, secure and familiar surroundings of their own homes. As a former kennel technician for veterinary boarding kennels, Betsey believes that allowing pets to remain at home – receiving skilled, individual attention in a peaceful environment –  substantially lessens any stress they may experience when separated from their owners.

Pet Sitting

When you must be away from home, your pets are lovingly cared for in the comfort of their own home, avoiding the stress and chaos of a boarding kennel.

Travel easy knowing they are in good hands!

Puppy & Dog Walking

Midday walks, backyard fun, potty breaks and attention for your puppy or dog.

Give your stay-at-home dog the gift of a break!

“Betsey has been pet sitting for us for several years. We often take lengthy trips and have always come home to happy, well-adjusted cats. She is professional and reliable – plus our cats LOVE her! I highly recommend Betsey to anyone who is looking for in-home pet care.”

Midday Breaks and Walking Services

If you work long hours during the work week: give your dog – and yourself – the kindness of a midday break. While many dogs can effectively “hold it” for 8 or 10 hours a day, that doesn’t mean it’s all that fair to ask it of them. A midday visit not only provides physical exercise and fresh air – it also provides mental stimulation and caring human attention, giving your dog something fun to look forward to in the middle of the day.

Exercise, attention, playtime, potty breaks, boredom relief and training support is provided on a daily or as-needed basis.
