Golden Rule "DogMa"

Pet care experience

Your dog is family while enjoying their "golden rule" getaway. We provide 24 hour 7 day a week supervision so you may enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Our "safety first" mission is in place to ensure your fur family members will be provided an exceptional home away from home environment. We promise not to spoil them too much, just enough. We have extensive knowledge of and love for all animals, but dogs have been my family passion the last 45 years. We facilitate positive reinforcement first and corrective attention as a back-up plan only. Belly rubs and healthy carrot and apple snacks are the reward of choice. We look forward to caring for your kids too! See you soon! Thank you. :)

Oakley always enjoys going to Bernadette’s home. I enjoy seeing a video of home playing with the other dogs.

This is my first time boarding my dog Sailor with Bernadette like every dog parent I was a little nervous. We did the initial meet and greet, which went really well. Sailor was comfortable at the meet and greet so I decided to go ahead and book his stay. Sailor stayed with Bernadette for 3 nights. And he seemed to have a great time. He was extremely tired when I got him home from playing with the other dogs. Normally he doesn’t eat his food when I board him, he ate a good amount of his food from what I saw. Bernadette was prompt with replies when I messaged her. She was really friendly and she loves dogs. I will definitely rebook her in the future. She boards a few dogs at a time, so your pup always has a playmate. Thank you for taking care of my dog Bernadette!

Bernandette has been wonderful with dog sitting all of our golden retrievers and is currently a regular sitter for our golden sisters, so two times the work! The girls get excited upon arrival to her home and always happy when we pick them up! I trust that our girls are in loving hands when they are with Bernadette and would highly recommend her to all!

Information Bernadette D. would like to know about your pet

We have many different beds, bowls, and safe chew toys available for our guest dogs, so no need to bring yours from home. Please advise if there are any special needs or fears such as vacuum cleaners, so we may provide the ultimate comfortable experience with no scary surprises. We keep 7am to 7pm as drop off and pick up times. So if your flight is at 7am please book the evening prior so we may keep the other guest dogs comfortable with no interruptions during their and my family's quiet hours. Many thanks for your consideration to this requirement. Also, if you would be so kind as to send me a screen shot of your most recent vet shot records I would appreciate being able to tell the other pet parents, every kid here is up to date on their shots. I sincerely look forward to giving your baby the best care ever! :)

A typical day

We recently purchased the home next door so we have added a huge yard with a gate to allow grassy playtime when it is too cold for swimming. The dogs love having a place to play "grab-ass" or fetch the ball and let's face it, it's also more comfortable for bathroom duty than the rocks around the pool. :) We provide supervised swim sessions weather permitting, as well as short morning walks if your pet is accustomed to enjoying a little cardio. Otherwise fetching balls is our go to form of exercise. (pre meal eating only). I also send videos so if the Rover app says I don't send photos it is because you receive high resolution videos instead and then are able to see personally just how much fun they are having at their very own "Weekend at Bernie's" :)
