Pet care experience

Reliable Dog enthusiast & veteran

I’ve grown up with different types of dogs big and small. I have also adopted dogs from the shelter. I pet sit for my parents dogs and friends cats often. I’ve even done drop in visits feeding cats for friends of friends. I’m familiar with working dogs and dogs that are pets. I hope to one day start a breeding program. I am a certified dog breeder. I have an American Kennel Club Dog breeding certification. I also offer meal plans and dietary consultation for pet owners considering switching their dogs to the “barf” diet.

Very reliable, friendly. Berthie took excellent care of Jazz, our English mastiff/Belgian malinoir mix.

My dog always looks relaxed when I get home. There's no better recommendation than that!

Berthie is a kind and diligent caretaker. He is communicative about any successes pr issues and goes above and beyond in his care. My mom and I are grateful to Berthie for his genuine love for my pup and helping my mom, too! I strongly recommend him for your dog's needs!

BJ is a great dog host. He gives bear 🐻 a lot of love and attention. He also has helped me so much with my dogs weight, which I was concerned about for the last 5 years. He just wasn’t losing any weight, he was bigger than what he should’ve been. BJ helped me switch bears diet from kibble to BARF it’s been 4 months and bear has lost at least 5-8 lbs. his muscles are even showing, he has a lot more energy and overall is happier with his meals. Highly recommend BJ to host my dog and I would recommend for food dieting as well.
