Safety, trust & environment

I always prefer to meet the dog before the scheduled dog-sitting date to make sure the dog and I are comfortable with each other. I have met dogs more than once depending on the owner's preference. I try to follow the dog's usual home routine to make them as comfortable as possible.

Information Bonnie M. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I have a two-and-a-half year old English Shepherd who loves to get out and go, so getting out and about is the name of my game! I am very familiar with working with hyper dogs, so having fun is always on the menu. From tug of war to fetch, I’m always happy to make sure that your pup is stimulated and healthy! There are even some great walking trails near me, so a romp through the woods is a favorite of mine. No matter what, I’m just alway shappy to make sure that your pup has just the right amount of exercise.

Loving and energetic dog-walker

Pet care experience

Dogs really are our best friends! From all the love and support they provide us to simply being the most fun ever, there’s just nothing better than getting to spend time with a pup. But I also know that they need tons of care to thrive. That’s why I’m here! I want to be able to bring as much puppy happiness into the world as possible! I just love being able to take care of dogs, and think that it’s my duty to make sure that every dog has all the support in the world. I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, and have dealt with everything from super high energy young pups to elderly dogs that needed plenty of patience. Above all, I just love meeting new dogs and figuring out their unique personalities! If there’s anything that I’ve learned from taking care of dogs, it’s that the each have individual needs that must be attended to. Every pup is different! That’s why I offer personalized care for you and your pup, tailored right to whatever makes you and your pup as happy as possible. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I believe in great communication. Even right from the get-go, I’m quick to respond to your inquiries and always punctual with responses. Before the stay begins, I like to get as much information about you and your pup as possible. That way, I can start thinking about how to make a dream stay a reality. During a booking, I’ll always be attendant to the needs of you and your pooch. I always provide detailed updates on what we’ve done during the day, complete with lots of great pictures as well! From meal prep to exercise times, you’ll be up to date on everything!

Bonnie was wonderful! We could tell right away that she truly loves animals. She did a great job of sending updates and photos so we didn’t have to worry at all while we were out of town.

Bonnie was an absolute gem! She took care of my dog like it was her own, with timely walks, plenty of playtime, and even a little extra TLC. I got frequent updates that kept me smiling while I was away. Punctual, friendly, and clearly passionate about pups—Bonnie is a keeper! Highly recommend!
