PUPDATE! Meet The Team: Bernadette Savitzky, Lead Daycare Attendant

If there’s one thing all humans and dogs agree on, it’s that they absolutely adore Bernadette Savitzky! She is a reliable, caring and professional young woman which is why she’s a wonderful Lead Daycare Attendant at PUPS Pet CLub, Lakeview. 

Bernadette was initially interested in PUPS because of how the company responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. She was very impressed by the fact that PUPS remained open for pet owners, especially those who worked in healthcare. Summer of 2021 was an interesting, and sometimes difficult, time for small businesses but she appreciated PUPS’ flexibility and commitment to their members. That’s why she ultimately decided to start a career with PUPS.

Sometimes, it takes dogs some time to feel comfortable in a daycare setting. Bernadette finds it especially heartwarming to watch these anxious pups slowly warm up to the environment. She definitely has a soft spot for the fur babies who approach her for a sense of “protection and comfort” in the sometimes overwhelming setting. She told herself that she would remain unbiased and not pick a favorite dog, but she broke that rule in about a week, when she fell in love with Niko the Samoyed and Tito the Frenchie. 

Bernadette is a firm believer in living in the moment. She enjoys the present and tries to soak up every moment as it’s happening. Because of this, she doesn’t exactly know where her career will take her next. But she knows that she wants to continue working with dogs! She continues to be impressed with how PUPS is growing and evolving. During her short time at PUPS, the company has slightly changed to align with other pet-care providers. She also loves that we recently opened our South Loop Club because it does not have a weight limit due to its large square footage. She hopes that PUPS opens a few more locations like this to welcome all the big pups throughout Chicago. Overall, she’s thrilled to see PUPS “moving forward in a pretty great way!” 

Thanks for being such a valued team member Bernadette. Our two and four-legged members are lucky to have you!
