MEET BETH

A Heart for Home and Animal Care

Let me introduce myself—I’m Beth, and caring for homes and animals isn’t just what I do—it’s what I love.

I am a proud mother of two accomplished adult children and a joyful “Grammie” to my energetic toddler grandson. As a single, empty-nester with a deep sense of responsibility and purpose, I now dedicate my time to caring for others’ homes and beloved pets with the same attention and heart I’ve always given my own. Since I no longer have pets of my own, I’m 100% available and flexible—ready to take on assignments of any length, even on short notice.

Deep Knowledge of Florida’s Gulf Coast

I live in St. Petersburg and am highly familiar with the Tampa Bay region, including Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. Whether navigating appointments or handling local services, I know how—and where—to get things done.

A Lifestyle Grounded in Wellness

I lead a clean, healthy lifestyle rooted in a plant-based diet, daily exercise, and wellness-focused habits—no smoking, no recreational drug use, and no pharmaceutical dependencies. I bring the same clarity, care, and consistency to my work as I do to my daily life.

A Professional You Can Rely On

My background includes founding two successful companies and serving as a marketing executive for both startups and international firms. I am confident that my clients and references would describe me as mature, humble, trustworthy, conscientious, neat, organized, reliable, and honest.

Trusted House-Sitting Expertise

Over the past 18 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as both a house sitter and pet sitter for a wide range of wonderful clients. From overnight stays to month-long assignments, I’ve been entrusted with the care of homes and animals while their owners travel for business or pleasure. These properties have included apartments, condos, gated communities, and even homes tucked away on serene horse farms.

Diverse Animal Care Experience

My experience with animals is just as diverse. I’ve lovingly cared for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish—and yes, even chickens. My responsibilities have included walking, grooming, bathing, administering medication, and responding to pet emergencies with calm, capable attention. I also provide transportation for pets in my vehicle—to the groomer, vet, or family photography sessions—and even to family members. In addition, I serve as a flight nanny, safely transporting existing pet family members or picking up new additions from breeders—via rental car or plane—to their new home, second residence, or long-term vacation rental.

I also serve as a dog handler for photography sessions—including engagements, weddings, and family milestones—and provide on-site coordination during wedding ceremonies to ensure your dog’s participation is seamless, well-timed, and stress-free. From pre-ceremony readiness to post-ceremony care, I work alongside planners and photographers to ensure everything runs smoothly while your pet shines in the spotlight.

The Pets Who Shaped Me

Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve been blessed to love and spoil some truly unforgettable companions—dogs like Bucky, my 19-year-old Corgi-Golden mix rescue; Murphy the Irish Terrier; Henry the Border Terrier; and Morgan the Lab mix.

And then there are the cats: Slim, Rusty, Sneaky, Crusty, and Budster. I’ve also raised rabbits and cared for all sorts of small creatures over the years. Each one has brought immense joy and unconditional love into my life and the lives of my family.
