About Beth
Owner, Lake Tapps Pet Care
I've been living in Washington State for almost 7 years after moving across country from Florida! I'm married to my amazing husband, Ricky of 17 years and we have 2 children, Gavin and Sophia as well as 2 cats, 1 dog and several pet snails (a zoo, haha).
I have actively been in the pet care business for 3+ years and have always had a pet (or multiple) in my home since I was a child. I could name every single one but the list is long! I started working as a dog walker and pet sitter after recognizing a need for more than just the basic care you might get from large scale companies or boarding facilities that may cause stress for your pet. When I couldn't find someone I trusted to watch my very needy pup and special needs senior dog, I realized that the kind of care I was expecting was missing in our area and I wanted to do something about it! I always treat your pets as my own. I'm familiar with special needs pets, puppies, kittens & critters of many kinds! I can administer medication and brush up on your pup's training by reinforcing what you've been working on with them too!
I don't mind being covered in fur by the end of a visit, I don't mind puppy kisses and nibbles or kitty claws while playing. I am patient and take the extra time needed for shy pets to warm up to me. I absolutely LOVE that this is the line of work I chose because it doesn't get much better than loving your animals for a living! Thank you for trusting me with their care!

What can I say? We're a family oriented business. Gavin is my oldest son and he has an incredible work ethic. He couldn't wait to start working & was out applying for jobs the day he turned 16! He is calm, cool and collected and sure to put your pet at ease. He comes along on occasional bookings and steps in as needed despite his busy schedule!
