Hi! I'm Bonnie. I was a Primary School PE teacher in Brisbane and have just moved to Wagga Wagga because I was offered a really wonderful opportunity to play music every day in the Army Band at Kapooka. As a current registered teacher in Queensland I have had a QPOL check and as a member of the ADF I have an AGSVA Negative Vetting Level 1 clearance.
I love all animals and dogs are my favourite. Their enthusiastic greeting after a short trip to the shops, a day at work, or an extended time away from home is just magic! I became a Pawshaker about 6 years ago when I was without any pets of my own at the time. When I got my doggo Hugo about 2 years ago, I thought it would be fun to continue walking dogs with him. We have been walking with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Hugo and I are also a Delta Therapy Dog Team. We have recently been volunteering at a Brisbane hospital every fortnight and hopefully bringing a little bit of joy to people when they need it the most. Fun fact - Hugo came from a lovely Cavalier KCS breeder in Wagga Wagga!

Bonnie has now looked after my 3yo Labraddoodle (Tilly) twice, each time doing daily walks for a number of weeks while I’ve been away, and Tilly was being cared for by my elderly mother. Bonnie is a very caring and reliable person, and Tilly obviously enjoyed the walks and looked forward to seeing Bonnie. Bonnie was also very considerate of my mother, which gave me huge reassurance. I recommend Bonnie and hope to be able to book her again.
Our pup absolutely loved staying with Bonnie and Hugo. Bonnie provided regular updates the whole time we were away, which provided us with so much reassurance as this was our first time leaving her.
Thank you so much Bonnie, Pip can’t wait to come visit you again!
