Retired educator turned pet sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have owned or fostered dogs all my life. I live in a cul de sac with plenty of safe dog walking greens as well as a public park which is within walking distance. As a retired exceptional children’s teacher I also appreciate the that a variety of individuals who may or may not be immediately comfortable with unfamiliar circumstances require patience and flexibility on the part of a provider. While animals certainly think, react, and communicate differently from humans, the overall need for flexibility, patience, affection, respect and to always expect the unexpected remains the same. Anyway, to stop rambling, I have always working with young people and animals and would love to do for others what I have been doing only for my friends in the past.

Yesterday Bernhard did two drop-in visits for our three furbabies. I chose him because of the many excellent reviews he had. He sure lived up to those very positive reviews. I join with the others in commending him for his excellence and love of all animals. He texted me and sent pictures of the dogs at each visit immediately after each visit. He followed directions and even coaxed our stubborn Basssett to eat his supper. He reported an object that was on him and took a picture of it. We do not leave our dogs often since the Pandemic and they are used to having us around most of each day. I would not hesitate to hire Bernhard again if we need a dog sitter. He is awesome and a great choice for a dog sitter or another pet. Thanks, Bernhard for a job well done. Our babies were well taken care of. Barbara Serating

Bear had a great stay! Bernard was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. Highly recommended and we look forward to booking him again in the future.
