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 is the absolute best! She cares for my boys as if they were her own and she sends lots of pics to let me know how they are doing when I’m away. The boys LOVE her and the treats!
