For the love of Whiskers

Pet care experience

Lots of TLC Think of me as your pets best pal when you are not around Exercise, playtime, and walks Fresh food and water and medications if necessary WE will send you pics of our play time and wish you were there! Home away from home without having to worry about them feeling insecure, I will talk and treat them like my own fur-baby. We will have lots of fun while your away About this sitter: All of my previous pet care experiences have been amazing and I've built a different bond with each animal I've taken care of. Animals are such great amazing beings so filled with energy and joy that warms my heart and puts a huge smile on my face. I've taken care of mainly dogs and cats. I love taking walks with the dog(s) it's so grounding and relaxing while they guide the way. Taking pictures of your pets is not something you always get to do during the busy ways of life, so I think getting cute photos of how much fun they are having gives you a smile and a relief of sigh to worry less! Drop in Visits/Dog walks: Please take note: I stop/walk in for 20-30 minutes at a time unless otherwise specified. Overnight pet sitting includes feeding, dog walking, cat litter scooping, picking up your mail and watering your plants. Usual Arrival is 9pm and leave at 7 am. This includes 2 walks if required If you choose overnight pet and home sitting service, you likely will also need one or two additional visits to walk your dog around noon and again at dinner time around 4-5 pm. Standard overnight fee and $20 surcharge on weekends and holiday rates have alternative surcharges. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. My first best friend was when I was 4 yrs. old his name was Bear he was my Papa's dog. He was my buddy and he was my first protector & where my love for furry friends started ! I feel like caring for pets is one of the most important roles that one can have. This is my full time business Which allows me to have high availability to meet your furry friends needs I am available as early as 730am and as late as 9pm I may have availability earlier or later than listed and a service fee may be incurred Any extra information about your neighborhood or home that I need to be aware of is imperative to safety to ensure pet safety and my own.

Complete disaster. After 3 days, disappeared and no communication. Had to fly home midweek. Dogs were left alone with no water but what was in the toilet. After 36 hours finally heard she was in the hospital. I have my doubts, but even if true , that’s no excuse for not contacting Rover and notifying of an emergency. If it wasn’t for my Ring cameras, my dogs would likely be dead. During the days she did watch them, she was gone longer than she promised, up to 4 hours at a time. Never again.

I scheduled Bonnie to come three times a day, with visits about 4-6 hours apart because my dogs are used to being cared for regularly. She did not follow my schedule at all and left my dogs alone for 13 hours at a time. She even stayed the night at my house one night and I have camera footage of her stumbling around slurring her words with no pants on. She then was very rude to me over text. Rover got me a new sitter and the new sitter reported a big mess in the house with food and ants everywhere. She also crated the dogs when I asked for them to be left out and their water (a big automatic fountain) was completely empty. Extremely upset with the neglect and complete disregard and disrespect for my animals, property, and instructions.

Bonnie was amazing! I was so at ease knowing that my babies were taken care of while we were gone. I will be sure to use her again in the future!
