Safety, trust & environment
My teens care for our animals when I am away from my own home. They have years of experience as well from working alongside me their whole lives.
Information Bernice V. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences or limits on behaviors that I'm comfortable caring for. I have worked in my own pet sitting business for years, celebrating 15 this year, and with that have had the honor to care for all types of breeds and temperaments.
A typical day
I love to go for walks/runs early in the morning and just after sunset to catch the beautiful sunrises and enjoy the peaceful evenings. Austin mornings provide such a show!

35+ Years Experience. I ❤️ Dogs!!
Pet care experience
I'm an absolute dream for pet parents! With over 35 years taking care of animals, I am a great choice for peace of mind, precision in following details, and trust. If your dog is high energy and wants a long walk or run during my stay with them all the better! I'm training for an Ultra marathon in 2026. I took a break from Rover since I had another business and small children to care for, but I'm BACK! My managers and employees handle my established pet care business in Central Austin currently. Rover gives me a chance to continue doing what I love while being able to continue providing employment and stability for the crew that's worked for me for many years. I'm great with special needs animals. I'm comfortable giving injections and other necessary medications. Special diets will be followed and only the best treats provided. About this sitter: My father traveled the NW and West Coast as an AKC judge, handler and groomer before hanging up the leashes to pursue other talents. Traveling with him and handling hundreds of pets from an early age provides me an unprecedented amount of knowledge. I've spent the last 15 years managing a very successful pet sitting company in both Portland and Austin. Recently we moved to Mexico for 3 years and explored the Yucatan from 2022-2025. We moved back so my oldest can pursue their career and start college, and my younger kids are gifted and interested in diving deep into sports. I have an active family and lifestyle with a lot of energy to spare for you and your pets!
Reviews

After seven days we came home to a well cared for house and a happy dog.


Bernice was the perfect dog sitter! Our foster is extremely fearful of strangers so I was very anxious to leave him on a trip, but he warmed up to her so quickly! She spent lots of quality time with the boys and sent frequent updates with photos and videos.

Bernice was very helpful and thorough with updating me on Inks throughout her walk. Thanks Bernice!
Bernice was great! She was very thorough and kept me well informed. Beau looked great and so did the house when I got back.
