Hi I'm Bernadette
**** I OFFER LIMITED DOG BOARDING FOR SMALL AND ELDERLY DOGS ****
**** DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR LONGER BOOKINGS ***
I have been a cat and dog owner for most of my life and am a professional and experienced pet sitter. After 30 rewarding years as a Software Engineer, I was seeking a new experience and I knew that would definitely involve animals. Animal Care is now my main focus and I am happily thriving and loving it!
I offer home visits tailored to accomodate your specific needs. Whether it's extra long visits to an elderly pet or a shorter cat nip visits to a multi-cat household, I can suggest a schedule that is both benefical for your pets and affordable.
I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and my own cat Kes lived to be 23 years.
I also offer some dog boarding for small and elderly pets. I no longer have any pets at home and I find they enjoy their stay here. I have a large garden and am right next to a large park which also has a dog park, perfect for walkies :)
I am familiar with many feline and canine diseases and disorders as I have faced them myself with my own pets over the years. I feel a deep bond and understanding with pets and can see the signs associated with various health issues. I can also administer medications.
Pets seem to love and respond to me, my friends and family are always amazed by this and comment that "You are the only one they respond to like that!". I also love meeting new pets and quickly form a bond, they trust me and respond well.
Rest assured that I will provide excellent and loving care for your pets while you are away. I will always listen to your instructions for looking after them and follow them to the letter - I am conscious that the owners wishes must always be carried out...happy owner means a happy pet!
I have also looked after other little pets over the years, including birds, reptiles, fish and gerbils.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing a positive experience and piece of mind while you are away.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
This was the first time we used Pawshake and Bernadette was fantastic. Communication was really clear and we received lots of updates with pictures which put our mind at ease. Will definitely book with her again.
Bernadette looked after our little sphynx cat and we highly reccommend her services! She really knows how to approach the cat, allows the space for the animal to get used to her. She was great in sending us photos and updates every day, which reassured us since it was the first time we were away. She also made an effort to come over the day before, to meet us, familiarize herself with the cat and our place. We will definitely be asking for more help in the future, many thanks!
