Beans & Bark

Beans & Bark Hello! I'm Hillary aka BEANS. My love for pets sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I'm so excited to start this new chapter in my life.
(5)

A full service dog sitter & trainer includes dog walking, daily visits, potty breaks, overnight pet sitting, around the clock care, dog park trips, kitty care, and a training program. I have been a dog walker and dog sitter for most of my life and have been boarding dogs at my dad’s kennel for many years. A little about me, I grew up in a household of furry friends so I easily understand the impor

tance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I love being around any animal and take pride in providing the same amount of love and care for others just like I would do for my own. I recently graduated from the National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio and am now a Certified Professional Trainer (CPT). Thank you for your support! Feel free to contact me!

This is Charlie, she will be 7 months on the 5th of this month. She is a female coonhound lab mix. She weighs about 43 pounds. She struggles with separation anxiety and will bark but doesn’t destroy anything or try to hurt herself or others in the process. No medical issues she recently got spayed and got a check up after and is in great health. She is also up to date on all shots. She is a little bundle of energy so would do best in a home with a back yard. She loves everyone and everything. She knows her basic commands like sit, come, paw, lay down, center and has been working on self soothing and heel. She is also kennel trained and does well in there when others are present. She loves to cuddle and is best around big dogs as she tends to play like one. She’s a little skittish around cats as she’s only been around one. She tends to jump a bit with adults but has interacted with kids and doesn’t with them. She interacts great with everyone and has never had any issues with food aggression or toy aggression. She has been through a month of training to work on her anxiety As much as I love her and want to keep her, I have come to the hard decision that I might not be the best fit to give her the best life she can live.

I have also been in contact with a volunteer rescue group that was recommended by her veterinarian. But would love to just know she goes somewhere that they will love her as much as I have.

Ollie Bean met his first “horse” this week. The instant smile made my heart melt & reassured the fact he is indeed a dog lover.

Full disclosure - I absolutely hate this photo of myself, however I had to post it. Not only is it an accurate representation of my life lately (which I’m very much okay with), but it also made me realize how much we truly look alike! 💙

Happy belated 2 month old birthday!! Ollie bean you continue to light up my life and I love seeing you grow. He has now almost doubled in weight & no longer fits in his premie clothes! He was able to enjoy his first 4th of July & a pool party! He also already looks up to his cousin JJ. 💙 As for milestones, he rolled over for his first time in front of his doctor and smiles a lot. We love you Oliver Thomas.

It’s been quite the week! Baby Oliver Thomas Baustian surprised us by entering the world 3 1/2 weeks early on 4/30 at 2:41 pm. Fast forward to Tuesday (my birthday) when we got to come home- an amazing birthday present. Thank you to everyone who has reached out & all the birthday wishes. I’ve finally caught up on some sleep & am able to read through all the messages. Ollie & I both feel incredibly loved & blessed. 💙🥰

With that being said— I will be taking a break from my training & dogsitting. Thank you to all my amazing clients!

This is so adorable 💙

Help! Poor Lily is looking for a new home. Her current owner has to move & unfortunately can’t bring her with. She is heart broken and wants to find a loving home for her. She was a rescue, and came to her a bit afraid, but has warmed up nicely. Been with her several years now. Greyhound/lab mix. 10 years old. She does well with other dogs, but has never been around cats. Please share and let me know if you have anyone interested. 💙🐾

A quick photo dump (trust me I have 2857473 more to share) of a few of the clients I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with lately. 💙 I love knowing I’m giving these animals the attention they desire while their parents are away. No matter the length of time I spend with them, they always steal a piece of my heart. 🥰🐾

Just two days ago this girl wouldn’t let me come near her. I came to her house & her client had her on a leash (for good reason) since she was growling and lunging. Ginny wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. Fast forward to now and honestly I don’t know what changed but she’s literally holding my hand & putting herself in the most vulnerable position next me. I’m still in shock, but mostly just happy. 💙🐶 Susy Robinette Katherine Rosenblatt
