Information Bernadette G. would like to know about your pet

If you have preferences on your dogs, please let us know. The more information, the better. Are they touch sensitive, hearing or sight impaired? Dog aggressive? Please do not think you are give too much info... I have been known to leave 3 pages of info about my pups... I know how hard it is to leave your babies with someone new. :)

A typical day

We usually take a walk to the Greenway, around the Bayou, back up through and around the beautiful neighborhoods. When we are confined to the house due to heat, or rain, we have a large fenced in yard with a covered patio. We also have a doggie pool and like to enjoy plenty of enrichment like lick mats and stuffies.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been rescuing animals for as long as I can remember. My husband and I officially started fostering about 16 years ago. We have fostered for several great rescues. To name a couple of them being the Nationally known Beagle Freedom Project and the local to New Orleans, ARNO.

Bernadette has been nothing but wonderful with my beagle. He has severe separation anxiety, and she always takes the time and care to make sure he feels comfortable and at ease. I’ve used her services a couple of times now and will definitely continue to do so. Her communication is excellent—she provides regular updates, photos, and details about Hank’s walks, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.

What a relief to have found someone so kind and attentive to snuggle our doggie while we were out of town. We are so grateful for you!

I've got a very loving but headstrong pit bull. She's middle aged and starting to develop some hind leg issues like stiffness and shaking so I called Bernadette to see if she could help ease some of the tension in my pup's body. My dog was fidgety and uninterested at first but after fifteen minutes she was putty in the hands of Bernadette. My dog is now extremely relaxed and sound asleep. I'm going to get my pup a massage once a month from now on to keep her joints relaxed and moving the way they should. All dog owners know when their pup is happy. Mine is in pure bliss right now.
