Amy started Betches Walking Betches after a chance encounter in the park playing frisbee with a friend's dog. That night, she created a profile on a dog walking app but realized it took a massive cut of earnings and lacked proper vetting. After speaking with friends about how difficult it was to find reliable caregivers, she knew she could do better. Amy quit her six-figure tech job and launched Betches Walking Betches on March 9, 2023.

Betches Walking Betches has a dedicated team of 12 professionals. All team members are hand-chosen based on their experience, volunteer work, and genuine love for animals. Each caregiver is insured, background checked, and Small Animal CPR & First Aid Certified. Many have backgrounds in animal care. Every caregiver is emotionally intelligent and committed to treating pets like their own.

Betches Walking Betches takes a holistic approach focused on attention to detail. We don't just "clock in and clock out." Our caregivers notice the little things like checking for raincoats, noticing energy changes, reaching out when something seems off, and going the extra mile. One of our walkers, a vet technician, even noticed a lump on a dog's chest during a daily walk. The team is built on reliability, consistency, and trust with relationships, not just transactions.
