Grateful For You This Thanksgiving

Gratitude hits different when you work with dogs all day.

Our clients don't just hire us to walk their pets. They invite us into their homes. They share stories about their pup's adoption day, their favorite hiking spots, the way they sleep upside down on the couch.

They trust us during vacations, long work days, and life's unexpected moments.

That kind of trust? It's really special to me, and I don't take that lightly at all.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking about the single mom in Santa Monica who works two jobs and needs someone reliable to be there for her rescue dog. The couple in Brentwood who treats our team to coffee and always asks about our own pets. The Venice Beach family whose senior dog lights up every time our caregiver arrives.

And I'm thinking about my team. The people who could work anywhere but choose to spend their days caring for animals. Who get Small Animal CPR certified because they want to be prepared for anything. Who text me on their days off to check on a pup they've been worried about.

This isn't what I expected when I started Betches Walking Betches. I thought I was building a pet care company.

Turns out, I was building a family.

To everyone who makes this possible, thank you. You've given me a career that fills my heart every single day.

Thank you.
