Caring for Waggs and Purrrs!

Pet care experience

Pet sitting for family over 15 years I'm available anytime just about. I also have been a licensed groomer for 9 years now! I have worked alot of animal related jobs like on a farm handling large herds to a vet clinic dealing with all sorts of breeds or cats and dogs! Message me any questions you may have! Thanks!

She was great with our Panda. She kept us up to date on how she was doing along with videos of her. I would strongly recommend her and we will be a repeat client.

We loved Bonnie and her family! She sent pictures of Jerry everyday without me even asking and took great care of him while we were gone! We came to pick him up a couple hours later than expected and she was understanding. We would definitely use her again and recommend her!!

Bonnie and her family were great! They gave our dog attention and love and we knew he was in good hands while we were away.

Nice family, took very good care of my dog while I was on vacation. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to come home to a happy, healthy animal.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as my own. I give plenty of space and potty breaks when needed! I do not feed animals “people food”. We eat twice a day usually unless every pet in the house is what we call a free feeder. But typically it’s meal time twice a day all pets are separated while eating to avoid fights. I do keep treats and such available. I try to keep dogs on the same rules as if they were at home. I respect training a pet can be difficult and I do not want to send them home with bad habits that they may get in trouble for at their own home!

Information Bonnie H. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences but would like to know if your pet has any bad habits or behavior problems to better protect my family, other owner's pets and also myself!

A typical day

We start our day here around 6am everyday except weekends then we sleep til 7am lol. All pups are let outside to potty. Meanwhile I get food ready for everyone. Depending on the morning that takes me about 5-10 minutes and then call everyone inside to then be separated into crates/rooms/areas to all feed. I do this to avoid any fights or hogging of food. Once everyone is finished they can go back outside to enjoy the morning as I finish getting myself ready for the day. About 7:30 I round everyone up to come inside... if i have to run errands for the day, everyone is separated by household into sections of the house. Giving them plenty of room to stretch/play/nap! We start feeding around 6 or 7pm. Multiple potty breaks at their request and finally bed time where everyone is separated again by families around 9pm. If they are crate trained I have crates for them. If they are more of a floor sleeper I have blankets and beds for them! And for the truly spoiled babies who only can sleep on furniture or people beds we have plenty of those too and a bunch of cold feet they can keep warm in this house! I just try to make their stay with us feel like home. It’s hard enough visiting a stranger’s home so why stress them out more by making them uncomfortable.. ❤️

I am a stay at home wife and mom. I homeschool my teenage daughter so my day is practically free! I wake up pretty early and we have a pretty normal routine!
