30 years experience <3

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Berni! (As in Berni's mountain dogs, haha just kidding). *I <3 love dogs and cats! *30 years of animal care experience, with the friendliness of a golden retriever. *I know how to read pupper body language. * I will cater to all those weird quirks that make your best friend/family pupper so darn irresistibly cute, special, and irreplaceable. * I have petsat numerous dogs and loved them all and have never forgotten a single one. * I will talk to your dog and give him/her so much love. * I know that your lil' pupsi-cola is your world and I will do everything to cherish them and make them feel like they are on top of the world. * I will make sure they are healthy, happy, and safe!

Wonderful job! I appreciated receiving periodic updates with photos and videos, but also that she was independent enough to troubleshoot any issues on her own while I was away. I would 100% recommend Bernie for other dog parents!

Bernadette is a kind soul who really cares about animals. She took wonderful care of my elderly and sick cat, Little One, who started to decline right before my partner and I were about to leave for an international vacation. She also accepted my last-minute request to turn her visits into overnight stays, since we were very worried about leaving her alone. I cannot thank Bernadette enough for being so attentive and loving to our baby during her time of need, as well as so calm and patient towards me and my partner when we were in a panic. She has such a big heart and you should definitely have her watch your pets!

This was the second time Bernadette house/cat sat for us, and she was just as amazing as the first time. She always sends cute updates about the boys and they're clearly well taken care of when we get home.

Bernadette took great care of our two cats! She sent great pictures of the boys and lots of updates, and was a very considerate house guest. Will definitely be booking her again in the future :)
