About Bonnie L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I like to get to know the animal in a neutral territory on leash first typically, and build trust with them via walks closer to their home/familiar area. I don’t have a fenced yard currently but am working on getting a short fence up once the weather warms back up. I prefer to work with dogs on leash unless they are in their own home, with the exception of a high fenced yard as I have met both runners and jumpers. I can’t care for cats in my home due to my cat who gets territorial and scared by other cats, but adores dogs. Most of my experience has been in-home care for pets and they often do best on their familiar spaces
Information Bonnie L. would like to know about your pet
Special needs, socialization issues (how they act with other animals or people), anxieties or reactivity, destructive or unhealthy behaviors to look out for ie. Loves stealing from garbage or eating things that could make them sick. If there are any existing health issues to cater to or dietary restrictions. Please give me as much info on them as possible I can work with special needs animals I just want to follow up on my own knowledge to fully prepare and give the best possible care for your animals
A typical day
Activities will be catered to the animal but will often consist of walking or additional exercise, can include trips to parks or beaches for socialized dogs, enrichment play and basic skill training for walks and indoor/outdoor play, a cool down break and if/when needed treats meals and potty breaks as preferred scheduled by pet parent of course

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 8 I was raised with dogs and cats but have also had reptile, aquatic, rodent, and bird experience. Mostly shelter volunteer and in-home work, I’m passionate about animal welfare and care. I respect different pet parenting styles and won’t overindulge or overstep my duties as a caretaker. I Also believe in leaving any space I’m in just as or nicer than I found it, as nobody should come home from a vacation to a messy home or chores to do.
Reviews
Terrific. Can not say enough nice things about Bonnie! She kept me updated daily and has won over my rather anxious dog. She is a wonderful animal/house sitter.
Bonnie was super flexible for us with my flight being canceled and having to leave later. She’s been a phenomenal sitter and I’m so glad we found her!
This was our first experience with Rover, and Bonnie was incredible! She did a great job with our pets, and was especially caring with our dog's paw issue. She was also a real champ at our home, which had some unexpected construction work at the time she was staying. Thank you Bonnie, can't wait to work with you again!
Another great stay! You know your pets are well cared for when they’re excited to see you when you get home and then go back to napping 😂 Thanks Bonnie for caring for our fur babies so well!
