Pet care experience
With over 15 years of expertise in dog walking and pet sitting, I bring a wealth of experience catering to professional clients. As a dedicated reiki-energy healer working from home, my flexible schedule ensures personalized care for your pets. I've handled a diverse range of breeds, from Labradors to Maltipoos, and I'm well-versed in administering medications and handling emergency vet visits. Known for my reliability, energy, and responsibility, you'll often find me at parties either cuddling with the cat or engaging with the resident pup. I extend the same love and attention to your pets as I do with my own, utilizing my intuitive nature to ensure they feel secure and cherished. Working independently allows me the flexibility to spend quality time with animals, making every day a joy with my fur babies. During pet sitting, I stay in the client's home, committed to maintaining your pet's routine for a happier, stress-free experience while you're away. Your precious pets are guaranteed the utmost care, and their well-being is my top priority.
Reviews
Absolutely thrilled with Bernadette and her care for my Nadia. Whether it's a sniff walk (or an unexpectedly longer stay!) Bernadette is flexible and understanding, plus treats Nadia with so much love and playfulness. She really goes the extra mile to keep my dog happy. If you want your pup to have a blast while you're away, or someone reliable to walk your pup, I always recommend Bernadette.
Bernadette is my go-to dog sitter when I have to leave town for work. I can always depend on her to take care of my baby & the house. Bernadette really goes above and beyond. She'll send me pictures and videos of my little one to keep me updated and to let me know my pup is missing me! It's really hard to be away from my pup, but Bernadette makes me feel at ease, and knowing my dog loves her truly makes all the difference. Thanks, Bernadette!
Bernadette takes excellent care of my red heeled puppy, Muffin. She knows his signals so well: when he is hungry, wants to play, and/or has to poop/pee. She even trained him to walk well on a leash, and taught him to sit, stay (he's so good at that!), and come. I'm thankful for her help with my puppy. Bernadette is genuine in her love and affection for my little guy. Thank you, Bernadette!
Bernadette was my best dog sitter ever, I trusted her so much with my pup, I wanted my pup minded in my home as I have to travel a lot for work, I trusted Bernadette not only with my pup but in my home as that was where I needed my dog to be as my pup has anxiety issues and is nervous around anything new, She loved Bernadette!! I would highly recommend her for any of your pets. Feel free to reach out to me for verbal or further confirmation.
About Bernadette D.

Safety, trust & environment
When petsitting, I stay in the client's home. It's my mission to keep your pet's schedule/routine as consistent as possible. I've found pets are much happier and stress less while their owners are away when they're able to stay in their own homes and keep their routine.
Information Bernadette D. would like to know about your pet
Before pet sitting, I would like to know if the pet(s) have any allergies I should be aware of. I also will need to know the dog's eating, walking, bathroom, and sleeping habits. Do they chase squirrels or cats? Do they get along with other dogs?
A typical day
I love visiting all the major parks in the area including Payson Park, Robinson Woods, and other beautiful nature spots. Plenty of walks in the local woods, strolls by the water, and lots of play will be on the menu! If your dog is more relaxed and goes at a slower pace, I can match that as well! Each dog is special and I can attune to their individual energy.

I work for myself so I'm incredibly flexible. I'm afforded the ability to spend lots of time with animals. The best part of my day is being with my fur babies.
