Pet care experience
🐾 I always do meet and greets prior to booking your service. I want all parties to be comfortable and ensure we are a good match! 🐾 I work long shifts and normally can only do drop-in visits before and after work. AM Availability 5-6:30am PM Availability: Can Start at 7-7:30pm Hello, Woof and Meow! I am a 28 year old female who resides in Pittsburgh, PA. I have two cats of my own, Oliver (7) and Siam (6), who have grown with health issues as they age; Kidney Disease, Chronic Nausea, Asthma, Behavior Compulsions and Urinary Crystals. Due to this, I am very comfortable with medication administration. I have five years of professional animal experience! I've worked at doggie daycares as a Dog Handler. I've worked at two local animal shelters in a verity of positions; Animal Care Attendant, Behavior Care Technician, Adoption Counselor and Offsite Adoptions Coordinator. I had animals my entire life and have gained experience with a handful of different species. I have training in Fear-Free and had the honor of being part of The Jackson Galaxy Project in 2020! I am now a Veterinary Assistant at a pet hospital and have been there for a year and six months. My knowledge in this field continues to grow; becoming a wonderful sitter in all aspects that I can! My strength is cat care - and I am comfortable working with cats that have behavior concerns and special needs! The care I provide for your purrfect fur baby is unconditional love, a playmate on your busy days, but most importantly; a friend. I do everything in my power to make your family and companion comfortable and happy during our time together!
Reviews
Bonnie was my cat Twister’s foster mother at Humane Animal Rescue and first provided all of the information that I needed in order to make the decision to adopt her. Since that time, Bonnie has been my cat-sitter for both Twister and my late cat, Phoenix. Bonnie is very reliable and trustworthy, and I feel very fortunate that she’s able to stay in Twister’s life (she loves Twister as much as I do!). Bonnie always sends me photos and texts during her visits, and it makes me very happy to see Twister enjoying her attention. Twister was very shy at first but now she looks forward to Bonnie’s visits and really interacts with her. Bonnie stops by when it fits into her daily schedule and that has worked out very well.
Bonnie is an excellent pet sitter. She is SO loving and warm towards aminals. Extremely kind, friendly, and easy to work with; Bonnie has an extensive knowledge in vet care and we were so relieved to have her come in and petsit for our senior cat. She took such amazing care of her. We received regular updates, photos and appreciate very much the communication, level of professional care and compassion she provides. When we were comfortable to adopt again we immediately knew who our pet sitter would be! We're thrilled to have Bonnie with our new cat. She immediately fell in love with her and hops up into the window to greet her every time. She clearly loves animals and they love her, You couldn't be leaving your pets in better hands!
Bonnie is a genuinely caring and conscientious person who loves animals. She is completely reliable and trustworthy. She makes me feel at ease when I have to leave my pets. I have an almost 14 year old Black Lab and a 9 month old American Shorthair kitten. I would recommend her with no reservations to anyone in need of assistance with their pets. She is amazing!
Bonnie was incredible!! Not only was she super flexible about it being kinda a last-minute booking but she was so understanding about our kitties' temperaments and individual needs. She went the extra mile to try to win over our cranky boy kitty and wrote the most wonderful entries for each of her visits about his progress and the issues my other kitty was having. We will absolutely be looking to her for our next out-of-town trip, 10/10 definitely recommend!!

🐾 I will always be the guest in their kingdom. I do my best to keep their routine while you're away to limit their stress and grow our relationship. I will provide lots of love and play time!
Information Bonnie D. would like to know about your pet
I like to gather as much information as possible about the pet(s) which is why I always do meetings. I want to be sure we are a good match and that all parties are comfortable. During this time, understanding their behavior, daily routines, specific restrictions (diet, animal care) and if there are any special requirements such as medication administration or medical conditions. I prefer cat care, but am comfortable with all dog breeds.
A typical day
Normally around the neighborhood else the owner has communicated that they are okay with them going to national parks and dog parks. I would like to know their play style and behavior around other dogs before taking them to either locations.

🐾 I work four times a week, all 11 hour shifts. My shifts are typically 7-6:30pm. I unfortunately won't have much time for morning drop-ins but I will have plenty of time after work to love on your fur babies.
