Reviews
Bonnie is the best! Great photos, detail-oriented, flexible and took great care of my fur boy
If you want someone who will look after your pets like they are her own children, look no further. Bonnie is the BEST. I hesitated to write this review because I don’t want her to get too busy for me but she is a rare find :) I have two cats that have stayed with Bonnie a couple times for longer stays (5+ days). My cats are very loving and pretty well behaved but they need quality people time and attention otherwise they will act out and misbehave. After time with Bonnie they are always in a great mood - no vacation transition grumpies. I can also see how happy and relaxed they are during their stay in the pics and videos that I receive. Bonnie - spends lots of quality time with your pets. She not only spends time with them but she interacts with them and caters to their individual personalities. - sends daily pictures, videos and updates. Updates are not generic - you can tell she paid attention to and engaged with your pets. - works with you and is a great communicator. Bonnie is flexible, proactive and quick to get back to you. It is a pleasure working with her and I am grateful to have found someone who looks after my children with so much love and attention.
Bonnie was so great with my 11 year old dog. She sent pictures and sent updates daily. My dog loved her and followed her around. Bonnie is a true animal lover.
Bonnie was fantastic!! She was detailed and went the extra mile every visit. Would absolutely recommend

Home
Information Bonnie D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet is reactive to humans or other animals and how they like to be approached. Are there behaviors that I can expect during my first meeting with your pet(s)? Do you want your pet to be worn out, engaged in mental activities, or a standard get out and walk? Do they do well in cars if I drive to a park?
A typical day
I enjoy dog parks, neighborhood walks, and exploring parks. Let's get moving and see what we find along the way. Smells and engagement are fun to investigate together.
