Catering to Your Pets Comforts & Happiness, since 2001
Hi, I'm Bonnie Couture of Bonnie's Pet Sitting, LLC.
Hi, I'm Bonnie Couture of Bonnie's Pet Sitting, LLC of Berwick Maine.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my website!
I have always had an inherently strong interest in the welfare of animals.
I, like a lot of animal lovers, have helped and cared for pets since I was a little girl...tending stray cats, tried to save any birdies the cats got, took care of my neighbors pets including horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, and have continued to be involved with animals all my life in one way or another.
I have volunteered for local rescue groups doing a variety of things to help animals by ~ fostering litters of kittens with their moms, pregnant cats, cats who need to be socialized before being adopted, cats who need to recuperate from surgeries, a couple dogs who had special health issues; walking dogs; working at events; visited nursing homes with dogs and kittens; always advocating for pets and animals in any way I personally can; promoting spaying and neutering; and so on....
Since 2001 I have been fortunate to be able to live my passion also as my livelihood providing pet care services to the surrounding areas of Berwick Maine.
I grew up in Berwick where my family roots are, and have always lived locally.
Prior to offering my own pet care services, I managerially assisted in the operations of other businesses and have been commended on my customer service, efficiency and attention to detail.
I have a variety of experiences sharing my compassion for pets/animals and enjoy always learning new things.
