Safety, trust & environment
Currently, I do not offer stays in my own home as I find it best to do in-home stays where the pet is most accustomed. I do my best to maintain the dogs regular routine.
Information Bonnie D. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to work with non-aggressive dogs. This is not breed specific. However, your pet must like children and be open to socialization. Before dog sitting, I would like to know any specifics needed to care for your dog during your absence. This includes, but is not limited to, feeding times, food amounts, medications, medication times and administering method, preferred toy, play habits, and potty routine. If your dog is afraid of anything, has any special needs or behaviors to be aware of. Please also advise of any special hiding spaces or safe places you dog may retreat to if nervous or needing to unwind.
A typical day
When staying with a dog, (s)he may enjoy neighborhood walks, petting, cuddling and playing. I like to keep the dogs schedule as close to routine and regular to ease any transition while away from and returning to their owner.

Pet care experience
It started at three, when I visited my grandparents and made sure to know every dog on the entire country block. There, I also had my first dog and have had one in my life, one way or another, ever since. I have always loved dogs, helped in training, walking and entertaining them and now my little one loves to join in the fun! Each dog is different and I do my best to treat them according to their unique preference, whether it's loads of snuggles, longer walks, playing catch or a little wrestling. I have experience with potty training and some basic commands. From puppy to aged pup, from farm sitting to house sitting, you can rest assure your furry friend will feel safe and cared for with me. I currently am only offering in-home of the pet stays. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews

So happy we had her and her daughter look after our Stella while we were away. This was our 2nd time booking with her. Sad she is relocating. We would book with her again if she was going to be in the area. Thank you again Bonnie & Noni!

Bonnie was absolutely WONDERFUL! Would highly recommend her! We will book her again in the future as long as she’s still on Rover. Her daughter even made us delicious cupcakes to come home to. Our girl Stella really enjoyed having them with her! Felt very comfortable having them stay in our home. Thanks so much to the both of you! U made our trip enjoyable without stressing over Stella!


I’m so glad I found Bonnie! She’s incredibly kind, caring, and patient with our pups. We have an older dachshund who requires extra attention and patience and Bonnie was super supportive. It made me feel at peace knowing Bonnie was watching our pups at our house while we were gone.

Our new young dog Mazie has had some separation anxiety but was completely comfortable and affectionate with Bonnie and her daughter Noni the moment they came into our living room to meet her. She was so happy and content when we returned from our three days away and we really enjoyed the pictures of her relaxing and playing at home and out and about on her walks. Bonnie is definitely a dog whisperer and her energy and attention to Mazie was just perfect for her. We will definitely rebook with her in the future. I am so thankful we found her.
