Availability

I'm currently not working, which means I get to dedicate my full attention to your beloved pet—alongside my sweet and friendly rescue, Kaiya. We’ll enjoy plenty of walks, visits to the neighborhood dog park, and fun games like hide-and-seek around the house. I also love hiding treats in the backyard for a little extra enrichment and adventure. Your dog will be active, engaged, and cared for all day long! Late Pick-up Policy: Overnight boarding covers a 24-hour period (e.g., 10 AM drop-off to 10 AM pick-up next day). If pick-up is more than 2 hours after that window, an additional daycare fee will be added manually.

Information Bonnie C. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pup, I like to know about any health issues, medications, feeding and potty routines, and how they do with other dogs, kids, and new people. It helps to know their energy level, favorite activities, any fears or triggers, and whether they’re crate trained. I also ask for vet info and an emergency contact—just in case.

A typical day

A typical day with me and your pup is all about comfort, fun, and feeling at home. We start with a happy hello and some time outside in the yard to stretch, sniff, and play. I follow their pace—whether that means zoomies in the grass or quiet cuddle time on the couch. My 12 and 14-year-old kids absolutely adore dogs and love playing, tossing toys, and giving all the belly rubs your pup could want. We mix in brain games, affection, and follow your pup’s routine closely—meals, naps, and potty breaks included. My own sweet dog is always excited to make a new friend, and together, we make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and right at home.

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a deep love for dogs and had the honor of caring for my beloved Hershey as she grew older—an experience that taught me so much about patience, empathy, and devoted care. Being her caretaker was one of the most meaningful roles I’ve ever had. Through the years, family and friends trust me with their dogs, knowing I provide more than just physical care—I make sure every pup gets the mental and emotional attention they need to feel safe, loved, and happy.

Boarding • Jul 07, 2026

Bowie had the best time during his stay with Bonnie! He and her dog Kaiya became fast friends, and it was clear from the daily photos and videos that he was having a blast and being incredibly well cared for. We really appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. Bowie came home happy, relaxed, and maybe a little disappointed to leave all the fun behind! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.

So glad we hired Bonnie to take care of Amy while we were away. Bonnie was very responsive, followed care instructions, and was very reliable. We came home to a happy pup!

Bonnie was fantastic! She took such good care of our senior Pekingese, Raymond. He requires a lot of care and attention due to his medical issues and dementia, and Bonnie was great with him. She also provided frequent updates and cute pics of him. Her pup also got along great with Raymond, and really calmed him down even though he’s usually nervous around other dogs. All in all, a great experience with Bonnie!

Bonnie was so great with our Kiwi. He was so comfortable and enjoyed his time. It was our first time leaving him so we were a bit nervous. She sent lots of pictures and a video throughout the day which helped. It was good to know he was in good hands. She also helped with an unexpected cancellation of our hamster sitter and was able to sit him as well. Thank you so much for watching them as we had a family day outing at Legoland. We will definitely book again when we are in town.
