WFH Dog & cat lover in Lakeview
Pet care experience
Hi there! Having grown up with pets, I’m a big dog AND cat lover (controversial, I know). At one point, my family had 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a fish. It was quite the zoo. In the years since, I’ve pet sit for clients, friends, and family on an intermittent basis over the years. I have experience with several different breeds and have given medication to both dogs and cats (orally with pill pockets and shots). My personal mantra as a pet sitter is to go above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. For owners, I try to take the best quality pictures and send updates at least 1-2 times per day detailing our adventures. I love getting fun pictures at neighborhood spots or just near some pretty flowers if possible. I grew up on the North Shore and am currently in my early 30s . For work, I do marketing full-time remotely. For fun, I am a certified Master Gardener and garden as a volunteer. I’m extremely responsible, have a car, and love spending time outside going on walks and hiking. I hope to hang with your pets soon!
Reviews
Bernadette is great. Very communicative and I am never stressed when Sully is in her care. Great experience!
Bernadette was amazing as always. She went above and beyond when my dog was sick and I was out of town. I'm grateful to leave my pup in her confident hands and apricate that she is always communicative.
Bernadette was great! Super communicative and very respectful of our home. Charli loved hanging out with her!
Bernadette house and dog sat for our two XL anxious dogs for one week and did a great job. Our house looked the same as when we had left it, and most importantly our dogs were calm and even better behaved when we returned! She came for a meet and greet before we left, and our dogs loved her. While we were away she was a good communicator and followed instructions.
