I cannot recommend Bernice highly enough. I have a 16-year-old teacup Yorkie with cancer who requires medication twice a day and can never be left alone, along with a husky and a German Shepherd—so caring for my household is no small task. I’m extremely particular about who I trust with my dogs especially my very sick yorkie, and for years I haven’t left my Yorkie to go on a trip because I’ve been too nervous to trust anyone else with his care. When an important trip with my husband came up, I finally decided to search. After reading countless reviews, I found Bernice. From the start, she stood out, and after our meet-and-greet, I immediately felt reassured. She was calm, kind, attentive, and my Yorkie—who doesn’t easily warm up to new people—took to her right away. That alone exceeded my expectations. For the first time in years, I felt confident enough to leave my dogs overnight. Bernice kept me updated every couple of hours with photos and messages, which gave me incredible peace of mind. I was fully prepared to cut my trip short if anything felt off, but instead I came home grateful, relieved, and so impressed with how well everything went. If you’re like me—someone who has very high standards, who considers your pets your babies, and who struggles to let go of control—please know you can feel safe and secure with Bernice. She exceeded all my expectations, and I’m beyond thankful to have found her.

Bernice is fantastic - very patient and careful with my overly skittish dog and friendly and loved by the others. She’s very reliable and goes above and beyond to love my dogs.

Thanks for stopping by on short notice. Appreciate your responsiveness and taking care of our pups.

Great communication and quick responses!

Bernice was great! She was extremely flexible and was able to care for our senior pup on short notice. We got updates and photos which we loved!! Bernice even took our little guy to the beach which we know he enjoyed! She’s patient and professional. We know our boy was loved while we were away! Overall a great experience!! Thanks Bernice!

Bailey, our Yorkie, has separation anxiety and does not care to be around other dogs or young children. So when we interviewed Bernice and learned that her landlord doesn't allow her to have pets, but she loves animals, I had to meet her. We scheduled several four-hour visits, and after seeing that Bailey enjoyed being with her, we left for a 10-day trip to Japan.  Bernice kept us updated with text and pictures. Best of all, she spoiled him by letting him sleep in her bed at night.  During the day, she took him for walks at the same times to keep the continuity of his schedule.  She works from home, so Bernice is your answer if your dog has separation anxiety.   I think her calm demeanor and loving attention made Bailey feel comfortable, and that, in turn, made my husband and I relieved to leave him for the first time.  If you prefer a calmer one-on-one home environment with an extremely caring and responsible sitter, I highly recommend Bernice.
