Hi! I am Beth and looking forward to meeting you!I have worked for 35+ years as a pediatric PA providing ER and ICU management of the sickest newborns and children. My experience has made me highly observant, attentive to the smallest details, and exceedingly reliable. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in emergencies and difficult situations. I adore dogs and cats and would like nothing better than surrounding your beloved pets with love and care.Looking after YOUR pet family and home with the utmost concern will always be my main focus. Animals seem to trust me and I am happy to fit into their routine. Long walks, lots of snuggles, and meeting their special needs would be a great joy! My communication skills are excellent and I would be delighted to keep you updated on the lovely times your babies will be having as much as you would like!
Why I want to house sit
I took early retirement from my beloved job two years ago to full time care for my delightful Mother as her health deteriorated. Now that she is no longer here, I am taking some time to decide what and where my next life adventure will be. I plan to give myself a year or so sabbatical to travel, connect with old friends, and meet new ones!“What a happy woman I am living in a garden, with books, [fur]babies, birds, and flowers, and plenty of leisure to enjoy them!"
My experience
I have had beloved dogs of my own for years, and have also been the go to dog walker and kitty sitter for many of my neighbors and friends. With my medical skills, I can (with some pet specific instruction from you), administer pills and medications as needed. I am highly responsible and will treat your furbabies with much love and follow your instructions and routines to keep them happy. I am happy to take your dogs on as many walks as they would like. I have some experience with hamsters and guinea pigs, and have managed a friend's koi pond as well while she was abroad. As a homeowner myself, I can appreciate also that leaving your home in the care of a stranger can be nerve wracking! I will treat your home with the same care I give my own. I am resourceful and can deal with most household minor "crises". I also love plants and gardens and would be happy to keep an eye on yours.I love traveling and have spent months in remote areas of Africa and Asia and found I can adapt well to new and challenging environments. I have also been an antique dealer and have lived and dealt in the UK, France, and the Netherlands. My travels have given me many unique opportunities to experience different cultures and lifestyles and I can easily be comfortable in the city or the country and I get along well with everyone.I am a non smoker, never have used drugs, and enjoy only an occasional glass of wine at dinner. I am quiet and will not be disturbing your neighbors.I do manage an International Internet forum which I will need to be monitoring daily, so high speed Internet access will be appreciated.Please feel free to ask me any questions I have not answered, we will both want to be comfortable with each other. I am also available to chat by phone anytime.

Beth, regularly kept us in touch, and our two cats and Home were both looked after exactly as we hoped they would be. In short we were very happy to have found Beth, and would be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring “sitter”- Organised

Beth is everything you could want in a sitter. She is organized, efficient, able to think on her feet if something comes up. She is also now my dog’s lost love. He waited for her in our guest room last night. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you need details, contact me privately.

We can’t tell you how wonderful Beth was to our pets! NoNo Bad Cat and Whisky just loved her! She brought treats and gifts, played catch, took long walks on the beach, let Whisky sleep with her! She certainly was a hard act to follow! There were problems with the A/C, AND garage door, did not phase Beth! She kept in touch and took care of everything.
We want her back for our next long trip in December. Actually we want her back anytime!- Organised
