Reliable, Care w/Flexible Hours 💕

Pet care experience

I believe every pet deserves more than just care, they deserve connection. I take the time to truly get to know your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to making sure you and your furry family member have complete peace of mind. When I’m with your pet, they have my full attention—no phones, no distractions—just focused care, comfort, and companionship. Whether your pet enjoys long scenic walks, playful adventures, or relaxing cuddle time, I tailor every visit to keep them happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

I can’t say enough good things about Bertha! She has been an absolute blessing for me and my dog, Penny. From the very beginning, it was clear that Bertha truly cares, not just about doing the job, but about the dogs she works with. Penny warmed up to her right away, which says a lot, and every time Penny see’s Bertha, Penny’s tail would practically wag off! Bertha is reliable, thoughtful, and so gentle with Penny. She always takes the time to send little updates or pictures, and I can tell she pays attention to the details. It’s such a comfort knowing that my dog is in loving, capable hands when I’m not around. Thank you, Bertha, for taking such good care of Penny. We’re both so grateful for you!

I was very nervous leaving my 2 young dogs in the care of a sitter. They are 9 month old Cattle Dog mixes, full of energy and not always friendly to strangers. Bertha quickly gained their friendship, and they took direction. When I arrived home the house was as I left it - maybe a little better. Definitely will use her again as my sitter.

Bertha is one of the most caring, loving, empathic and thoughtful pet owners I know. Animals are her passion. She is responible, kind and always goes above and beyond to care for her pets and those in her care. She's a great communicator who listens, is conscientous and professional. She has worked with high-level corporate executives in the entertainment industry for 15+ years, so her attention to details are of the highest standard. She treats all pets as if they were her own, ensuring what's best for your beloved pet is handled. As a pet pet owener, she provides other pet owners with a peace of mind that she would require of someone caring for her own pets. She provides near constant attention to pets in her care. I trust Bertha with any of my animals.

When I care for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions closely to maintain the pet's normal routine, I ensure they're fed on time, walked or exercised as needed, and given attention and comfort so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also respect the client's home, keeping it clean, locking up securely, and giving updates so they know their pet is in good hands.

Information Bertha P. would like to know about your pet

I like to ask the owner what's important about their routine and any specific needs; feeding or walking schedules, medications, supplements to include with diet. It's also helpful to know how they react to other dogs, or loud noises i.e. thunderstorms or needing a nightlight. My goal as always is to make the pet feel safe.

A typical day

While pet sitting, I love to keep pets happy and engaged, depending on the pets personality and activity level. We go on walks, play with their favorite toys, tug of war, keep their minds busy with commands and reward with treats. I like to massage their limbs and back, rub their bellies. My goal is to make them feel safe while their owners is away.

Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. Every morning starts with a potty break followed by breakfast. I always allow enough time for her to comfortably digest her food before we head out for a walk. Laci enjoys three walks a day to keep her active and happy. Weekly, I make sure to groom her, clean her bedding, and check for any signs of health concerns. Caring for her is naturally built into my lifestyle and something I genuinely enjoy. 🐕
