Pet care/doggie middays since 2008
My husband and I adopted our Golden puppy, Maggie, from the Animal Welfare
Society in K'bunk Sept 2008. Because we work long hours, we quickly set about to
research qualified pet sitters. The search didn't take long as Bonnie Couture
from Bonnie's Pet Sitting was highly recommended from friends and others we
trusted. Bonnie came and did an orientation meeting (and did so promptly after
we called her) and we liked her immediately. Bonnie is very professional,
meticulous, trustworthy and has really become an "Auntie" to Maggie, and our
cat, Sadie. Maggie was very hyperactive with anxious energy when we first adopted her, and Bonnie is
very calm and positive in her interactions with her and this has been very
beneficial for Maggie and the whole family. She also has given us excellent
recommendations for working with and better bonding with Maggie positively,
through private clicker training and agility sessions with Linda Desmarais of
Linda's Agility ~ and keeping her comfortable and beautiful through Leslie's
Crisanaz's mobile pet grooming services, A Bow & Beyond.
I would recommend Bonnie without reservation to anyone interested in hiring a
professional and reliable pet sitter. She in many ways has become one of the
family.

We want to thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog and 2 cats in
the pet care rooms at your home: 6 yr old Sharpei/Rottie mix, Athena, 20
yr old cat, Tien, who has cancer in her sinuses, and 7 yr old cat, Sherbie.
They seemed so happy getting to stay together in a home environment with
small-scale personalized care. We feel so lucky and grateful. It was nice to be
able to go away and get a break, knowing they were in good hands. Thanks too for
being aware of and taking Tien to Dr Beekman when her sinus abscessed & needed
to be aspirated. She is doing well, no additional swelling - it's even gone
down) and she is eating, sleeping, roaming around and purring. Athena and
Sherbie are good too. Thanks again for your thorough, thoughtful, and loving
care, and for keeping in touch with us while we were away.

Kitty care since 2006
My name is Jossalyn
Martins and I am so excited to say that I now live back in
Dover (my hometown) and have been
re-united with my four cats after having them stay with Bonnie Couture for the
last month. For a little over a month Bonnie has opened her household and cat
pack to my four kitties, Vince, Leo, Simon and Garfunkle and has thankfully
given me the opportunity to keep all four of them when I was unfortunately
considering surrendering my two youngest! For the first few days the boys were
there adjusting, Bonnie sent me detailed emails telling me how well they were
adjusting and any little quirky thing she thought was concerning. It was such a
relief to know my special boys were safe and happy at Bonnie’s house. They were
able to go in and out as they please, as she had a little fenced in cat yard
with a cat door to go in and out of the basement. Because my cats have stayed
at Bonnie’s before, she even allowed them to roam free with her other 5 cats
which seemed to work out just fine. Her cats are all really adaptable as well as
my four boys so I think it was the best thing I could have done for them. Not
only did she allow them to roam free with her pack, I know she spent just as
much time with my boys as she did with all of her own animals. Bonnie Couture
was born to work with animals and has a natural devotion to what she does. I
have learned a great deal about animal’s and their behaviors primarily through
Bonnie and all her experience, which makes me feel 100% comfortable and
trustworthy of leaving what I consider my children, with her. When my boys stay
with Bonnie, I never have to worry about whether or not they are being fed,
loved, cleaned up after and anything else that falls between. I know that they
are in the best hands next to my own and that someone as in-tuned to animals as
Bonnie is few and far between. I would recommend Bonnie’s Pet Sitting to anyone
who loves their animals just as much as she and I love ours because your animals
will definitely be in the best hands in the business. For me, Bonnie provided
stress and worry free pet care for my furry babies and I can guarantee she would
do the same for anyone else.

We are so very pleased with the care that Bonnie gives to our little Himalayan
cat " Jasmine".
Jasmine gets quite upset when we leave, and Bonnie cares for her like her own
animals.
Bonnie always checks in with us during the week to let us know how Jasmine is
doing while we are away. We would highly recommend Bonnie's pet care to
anyone who loves their pets like we do.

"I am so happy that we found Bonnie! My doggies
are always happy when I get home from work, and I have a note about their
visits and any special fun things they did together during their mid-day
visit. Bonnie is also very observant and points out any potential health
issues. My boys have also visited Bonnie's pet care rooms at her home, and
they ran in with their tails wagging. Bonnie is very flexible which is so
helpful when my schedule changes. I highly recommend Bonnie for your pet
care needs!"

Hi, Bonnie - we are SO appreciative of the care
you gave to our extended (non-human) family while we were gone. We asked
you to take care of our 5 cats, 2 gerbils and 7 fish, not to mention our
5,000 (it seems like!!) plants. You did a fantastic job - you even coddled
our old and deaf cat who couldn't hear when food was being dished out.
Thank you for making them and us feel comfortable about our being away!

Here are our thoughts on your kitty visits. We love that you're so
reliable and so willing to come at short notice for family emergencies.
Carrie and Twilight are much happier staying at home than coming with me or
being boarded out. Carrie is shy but really appreciates your visits -- I can
tell because she's always so calm when I come home. Twilight says you give
the best belly rubs ever -- I don't get to do that, so I never felt the
lipoma that you found. We appreciate the careful watch you keep for health
issues. Twilight thanks you for giving him his medicine while I'm away. We
all thank you for being willing to medicate friendly cats, because that
helped our old friend O.C. live for 3 years with diabetes. You're the best
and we're glad you live in Berwick!

Bonnie makes going away effortless. I don't need to
worry about my two kitties. I know that they are in the best of hands.
Bringing them to a boarder was always so stressful for them. They love
staying in the comfort of their own home and having Bonnie visit.

My pups, Petey, (sweet
special needs: deaf with only one eye which is blue), white with bright
brown dappled Daschund, and Sephin, (full of
herself to new people) sassy MinPin, are as excited every time
Bonnie walks in the door as they are when any family member comes home.
Sephin is very nervous and protective and quite the barker but she
warmed up to Bonnie very quickly! I am always happy to know that Bonnie
is checking in on them and giving them a little love and attention
and walk/potty break in the middle of the day.

Pet care in 2007..in
touch/friendly since :) .......
We met Bonnie in 2007 and were
instantly comfortable with her. More importantly, we could tell our
animals were too – we all just trusted her immediately.
Bonnie has a calm, friendly demeanor, and an overwhelming love for
animals and people. This, combined with her trustworthiness, instantly
took away any worry we had when considering to bring a stranger into our
home. As any parent knows, it’s a hard decision to leave your children
(human or animal) in the care of someone else. I can say, without
hesitation, that it was not a hard decision once we met Bonnie.
She is a great care-giver and has become
a trusted friend in the process. We’ve even adopted a couple cats from
her! From all of us ‘on the hill’
in Rochester, don’t just take our word for it – call her now and
see for yourself. You will be glad you did!

Not only is Bonnie
trustworthy and dependable she truly cares about our two dogs!
I know that it would be a long day at home for our "two girls" without
Bonnie's visits.
