Pets are FAMILY!

Pet care experience

Pets are family! I will take care of your pets like they were my own. It will be a fun and worry-free vacation for everyone! My animal experience: I was a veterinary technician throughout high school and college in both general and specialty (internal medicine) hospitals. I am comfortable dispensing medications and administering injections (insulin, etc.). I have a lot of experience with senior pets and pets with disabilities that need extra care and love. The vacation spot: We have a large, fully fenced front and back yard with 3 nearby parks. Your pet will have free range inside our home and kept on-leash when outdoors at all times. Meet the roomies (aka my pets): Rudy (Corgi/Shepherd mix) - Enjoys playing tug, snuggles, road trips. Rudy has been great with other dogs and good with sharing his bed and toys with new friends. Mali aka Sharky (DSH cat) - Likes getting into everything she's not suppose to, playing fetch, and hanging out with Rudy.

Bernie instantly gained my dog's trust when he met her. She's timely, flexible, communicative, and I can tell she genuinely loves working with animals! My dog and I both look forward to working with her again in the future!

Bernie was amazing! She's very comfortable with animals and has some great pets herself. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our pup Ollie had a great time, and we were able to enjoy a worry-free trip!

Information Bernie F. would like to know about your pet

1. What is your dog's age/breed? 2. Are there any health concerns, special diets or medications needed? 3. Is your dog spayed/neutered and up-to-date on their vaccinations and flea control? 4. What's their regular routine? (Feeding, bathroom and walk times)

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: We have 3 parks nearby. The closest is just half a block away. Magnolia is a great neighborhood for strolling and I'll walk them for as long as they seem to be enjoying it. Weekday mornings might be a bit shorter but evenings and weekends are for cruising the neighborhood. We also take them out anytime we think they need a bathroom break. Sleeping arrangements: Our pets usually sleep with us in the bedroom. We keep the door open in case they need to get up for water. You are welcome to bring your pet's bed or we can provide blankets for them to sleep on. Daily updates: We like to send updates and photos of your pet while they're with us. It's always nice to see how your fur kids are doing! We look forward to meeting you and your pet. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
