Winston

11/8/2012  If there were 10 stars to give, I'd be giving them all to Dog Gone Walking! In a last minute, holiday weekend "our regular dog sitter canceled for some unknown reason and we already had tickets to fly cross country the next day" emergency, I contacted Beth, on a recommendation, in a panic. In her wonderfully accommodating and professional way, she managed to calm me down, agreed to take Winston for 10 days, and everything worked out perfectly. She came to our house to pick up our pooch, accommodated our hectic schedules, and sent us pictures of him looking right at home on her couch :) while we were on vacation. He had such a good time with Beth and Tave (Beth's personal pet), their other sleepover buddies, bones, toys and long walks, I don't even think he remembered us when we got home! 

It's always somewhat stressful leaving your pet with someone you don't know. I've boarded Winston at several places over the past few years, from one night to two weeks, and have even resorted to flying him to CA with me once or twice because I just couldn't find someone I felt good leaving him with on a regular basis. Beth has been so much more than a dog sitter for us; she's brought that peace of mind that's always been lacking when we've had to leave Winston in a new and unfamiliar place. She treats our pooch like he's her family pet, and us like friends instead of customers. I couldn't be happier, and I'm thrilled to see her business growing and to see how many incredibly happy people she's been able to help!! Honestly, if you're unsure, uneasy or worried about your pet's well being while you're away, there is no more capable, wonderful, loving, pet enthusiast than Beth - she is BY FAR the best!!

I've worked with Beth ( and Dog Gone Walking & Pet Care) for about a year and a half.  Since I help foster for a shelter, I have had a number of dogs in my home during this time and she has been great with each and every one, learning their quirks and any special wants / needs.  She is very conscientious and really great at communication.  When I hired Beth, I was fostering an older dog with some medical issues.  My main priority was having the same walker every day, someone who knew my dog and could help monitor how he was doing.  Beth was absolutely outstanding, keeping an eye on my guy, providing medicine when needed, and was willing to keep me up to date on his status via email.  My own dog is a younger pup who adores her and who has stayed with her for boarding.  He is super social but likes his rest too.  I've tried some "cageless" boarding situations, but have been disappointed.  I am absolutely confident he is in good hands when Beth is watching him.  Basically, she's great and I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care.
