My Bernese Mountain Dog had a wonderful day with Bernie, as evidenced by all the photos she sent of my puppy playing and walking and napping. She even cleaned my dog's goopy eyes and got the matts out of my pup's fur. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust my good boi with if I ever have planned vacations or business trips!

Bernie was the best pet sitter, I ever had. She took her time with each of our pets they received all their needs me. They formed a loving and appropriate bond. If we need to go away in the future, she is our number one choice. Do not hesitate to hire Bernie as your pet sitter. She is #1.
