Lifelong dog lover, pro dog sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve had at least one dog in my life since I was a young child. I started dog sitting in college and have watched family and friends’ dogs for over a decade. A few years ago I lost my 14 year old cocker spaniel who was my best friend, and I know all too well what it’s like to try and find someone you trust to take care of your fur family when you’re away. I found traditional boarding to be too stressful for my dog. I’d like to ease that worry for other fellow dog lovers. While I’m not ready for another dog just yet, I still love playing with and taking care of dogs and feel this is a great way to fulfill that joy.

Bonnie is the best! We have a (now) elderly dog and Bonnie is the only dog sitter we trust to watch him outside of family. She is very patient and understanding. We will continue to use her as long as our little guy is around!

Bonnie is great, our pups were more than spoiled during their stay! She is flexible, great communication, and sends plenty of updates.

Bonnie is always the best. She takes wonderful care of our senior dog and even took her to the vet when we were away when an urgent issue came up

Bonnie is the best! She takes such wonderful care of our dog. We are so glad to know Bonnie. She goes above and beyond and is the only person we would feel comfortable watching our senior K9.

Information Bonnie S. would like to know about your pet

Any health issues, dietary restrictions, personality traits that can be an issue, if I have to give medicine, how they react to other animals if we’re out on walks, things like that.

A typical day

I learn about the dogs and cats’ energy levels and personalities and will play with them, walk them if they’re able, and give them lots of pets and cuddles!
