Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Bernadette! If your pet needs a hangout sesh, I’m available for walks and drop-in visits! Aside from being a part time dog walker and lifetime pet owner, I am also a trusted pet sitter for a variety of animals for family, friends, colleagues, and Rover users. My love for animals has put me on a path of fostering and volunteering at animal shelters. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet(s)!

My dog Juni can be pretty anxious but liked Bernadette from the moment she met her. I know Juni is not the easiest dog to walk but Bernadette was great! I booked her for reoccurring walks every week day for 8ish weeks. Would highly recommend :)

Bernadette has exceeded my expectations duing her drop-in visits with my dog Penny. I have a long commute and needed someone to come let her out to go potty and spend time together during the day. Bernadette gives very detailed reports of Penny's mood, consumption, and potty habits, and it puts me at ease while I'm far away. Bernadette has helped in my home in big and small ways, and my pets absolutely adore her (she throws the kitty love in as a bonus!). I trust her completely in my home, and am so happy she is available while I'm at work!

Bernadette was so sweet and patient with Peanut. He is a nervous little pup and she was so understanding.

We had to be out of town for the weekend unexpectedly and Bernadette made time for us! She made sure that all of our cat's needs were met each time she came by while we were away. Awesome as always!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
