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.

I'm hesitant to leave the glowing review that Beth deserves because I'd love to keep her all to myself. She was amazing! She cared for our pets and our home as if they were her own. She kept us well-informed with pics along the way; our pets (2 dogs, 6 chickens, and 1 hamster) all adored her; our home was immaculate; and she even gave us some helpful tips. On top of all of that, we had an unexpected pet emergency during her stay that she handled so lovingly and with great care. We could not have asked for someone better to care for our pets and our home. Thank you Beth!!!

This was Beth's fourth stay with us: what more can I say? Our dogs love her (a Maltese and Havanese), greeting her very enthusiastically when she comes through the door. She takes excellent care of our pups and as you might guess, we would have her back in a minute. She sends photos and updates every day, which makes being away from our pets worry-free. The house is immaculate when we come home, probably cleaner than we left it :-)

This was the third time Beth sat for Joey and Jingles, our Maltese and Havanese. They adore her and she takes excellent care of them. She takes them for walks, plays with them and generally spoils them! Our house is immaculate when we return home and it's a pleasure to have her stay. Needless to say, she is our "go-to" sitter and always our first one to ask when we are planning a trip.
