Meet the Pawstin Family

Beth Wyatt, Owner & Manager

Beth loves working in the pet care world for one simple reason: she absolutely adores pets! Getting up every morning to take care of other people’s furry companions makes her heart smile to no end.

Originally from Houston, Beth has been the go-to person in her family for pet sitting ever since she can remember. She’s even tended a 25-acre ranch home with longhorns, llamas, donkeys, and goats! In 2013, she made the jump to working in the pet care field full-time. When a good friend of hers went to work for a local veterinary center, she referred Beth to a position at the pet resort. Beth worked her way up through all positions at the facility to become the director. When the oppurtunity came to work for Pawstin in 2022, and eventually own the company, it was a longtime dream come true.

Beth has four dogs of her own. Bunny is a nine year old pit bull mix who is quite the firecracker and a seasoned adventurer, Kenzey, a springer spaniel who still has major puppy energy even though she’s going on eleven years of age, Sofie, a nine year old French Bulldog who is as sassy as they come, and Bugsy, a two year old cleft lip American Bully who will steal your heart with his cuteness and wiggles.

In her free time, Beth likes to keep up an active lifestyle and travel whenever possible. For many years, she played roller derby in Houston and Austin. She was even fortunate enough to represent the Houston all-star team in matches around the country!

Hi y’all, my name is Kristi! I moved to Austin almost 10 years ago from Louisiana and now consider ATX my home. I have a dog named Libby who’s been with me through thick and thin for 12 years now. She’s my entire world, so I know and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I consider myself a perceptive person who’s able to read animals well. I have over 3 years pet sitting and dog walking experience and joined the Pawstin family a year ago. I love meeting new clients and their four-legged friends, and being in the pet industry is very special to me. I’ve been able to form memorable bonds that last a lifetime!

Hello, I’m Kari! I moved to Austin from Wisconsin in 2018 and it quickly felt like home. My life has always revolved around animals, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I have done volunteer work with animal shelters, fostered animals, done wildlife rehab, worked in doggy daycare, and I am currently a student majoring in Zoology. I understand that our animals are family, and I can’t wait to meet you and yours!

Hello Austin! I started pet sitting in the 1980s in Los Angeles, where a friend and I ran a pet sitting service for over 10 years. We sat everything from dogs and cats to Vietnamese potbelly pigs and iguanas. The last 24 years I worked for a corporation outside of the pet industry, but I realized how much I missed pet sitting, and I am thrilled to be doing it again!

Hello Austin, I’m Ashley! I’ve had a deep love and fascination for animals ever since I was little. Naturally, my childhood dream was to work with our four-legged friends. So, in 2014, I moved to Austin to work in a doggie daycare facility and have been working with pets ever since! Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot along the way, and love continuing my education through Pawstin since joining the family in October of 2020. I’m passionate about continuing to learn and understand animals of all kinds - our pets are our babies and I’m so excited to give your pet the best experience possible!
