House Sitting Bridgewater

About: Red Cross Pet First Aid certified! ⛑️ I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with animals of all kinds. I’ve also been volunteering at an animal shelter for 1 year, so I know how to read animal behavior and handle the unexpected. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work full time Monday through Friday. On weekdays, I’m available for walks and drop ins before 8am, during lunch between 12-1, and after 5pm. On weekends, my availability is open! I follow your pet's routine to a T and send regular photo and video updates so you're never out of the loop. If I notice any changes in behavior I'll let you know right away. I'll leave your home exactly as I found it, follow any house rules you set, and always make sure gates and doors are secured so no one makes a sneaky escape.

“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”

“Jason was fantastic with my pups. He was aware of how to interact with them, seemed to enjoy walking them, feed them as directed and walked them as requested. I am very happy and pups seem to be also.”

About: I have cared for and loved animals world wide- from pet sitting locally, providing food and water and kindness to strays along my travels, to volunteering at Australia Zoo. Since I was young, animals have always held a huge place in my heart. I would rescue farm kittens, dog walk and cat sit for neighbors, and swerve to avoid hitting a frog with my bike (and now my car). I’ve experienced many sides of pet care—from the fun and rewarding moments to the more difficult and unexpected ones. I’ve had the opportunity to shadow a friend during overnight emergency vet shifts, which gave me firsthand insight into how important it is to remain calm, observant, and attentive when an animal isn’t feeling well. Those experiences have helped me become an even more thoughtful and responsible caregiver and pet parent. My love for animals extends beyond our domesticated companions. I’ve also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation and do what I can to help the wildlife in my own community. Whether caring for a beloved pet or offering comfort to an animal in need, I consider it a true honor to provide them with patience, kindness, and love. I am self employed as a Massage Therapist located in New Milford. I work Mondays-Fridays and typically start between 2/3:00pm and work until 8(ish). I work one Saturday a month and those hours vary- usually a 4 hour day. With owning my own business I can set my hours- when I have notice I can always schedule accordingly to the pet’s needs. When caring for my/your pet, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playful engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive medication as directed, and get plenty of attention and affection. I keep litter boxes and living areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and lots and lots of love.

About: I'm here to take the stress off your shoulders. As an animal lover, I’m dedicated to providing your pets with the best care possible. From long walks and fun playtime to plenty of good ol' fashioned love, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I have had a dog since I was 11 and I have also had two cats. In addition to taking care of my family pets, I have also taken care of many dogs and cats of various sizes and demeanors. I am free most evenings of the week and I am also free most weekends. I would love to use this time to take care of a loving animal. I make it a priority to get to know the animal and make sure there is a sense of trust. I want to ensure that both your animal and I are able to get along well. I enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing with them in the yard.

“Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!”

“Cotter was great with our two dogs! He helped us out in a crunch over the holiday weekend, was extremely responsive and provided a ton of updates. Our dogs were very comfortable with him, we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you Cotter!”

About: I've had cats my entire life & I have a few years experience pet sitting for and walking dogs and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.

About: I adore animals and like to treat everyone as if it’s my own. I have been pet sitting throughout college and post grad for about 5 years now. I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away.

“Jessie is simply wonderful to have watch your fur fam!! She is responsible, communicative, and just a pleasure to work with. Will 100% be reaching out again in the future!!!”

“Sam is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever hired. She was extremely dedicated to looking after my older cat. Sam is a real cat whisperer - even though my cat is pretty nervous and skittish around people, she absolutely adores Sam and showed her belly in most picture that Sam sent! Sam sent updates multiple times per day, sent some of the best pictures I’ve ever seen of my cat, and was so dedicated to my cat’s care. I’ve been worried about my cat’s eating because of her gastroenteritis, and Sam told me every day whether my cat had eaten or not. Sam even put treats in with my cat’s wet food to coax my cat to eat her new, vet-prescribed food. Sam is such a wonderful, caring and extremely capable pet sitter - I’ve never felt so calm being away from my cat! I’m so grateful that Sam is our regular, most trusted pet sitter.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs as well as other animals for many years both in my own home as well as at other families homes! I can be relied on to care for the animal as if they are my own and provide lots of love to them! I work as a nanny but am also home each night and my parents are often home during the day when I am not home (they are also animal lovers!). Also happy to help on weekends as well! We have an unfenced backyard but we have a dog play area with its own ramp from the house down into a fenced in area with grass and water and some shade! Inside the house we would either crate the animal at night or if they are not used to being in a crate, keep them in a room separate from our animals with plenty of air conditioning, food, water, playtime, and lots of fun time outside!

About: 🐶 With over 20 years of experience working with animals, including more than 15 years as a veterinary technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge, skill, and compassion to every pet I care for. My background includes handling both small and large animals, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of their physical and emotional needs. Through my pet care service, I offer more than just basic support—I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each animal’s unique personality and health requirements. Whether it’s administering medications, managing special diets, or simply offering companionship and playtime, I treat every pet as if they were my own. From energetic puppies to senior cats, and even larger animals like horses or farm pets, I’m equipped to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are in experienced and loving hands. I have plenty of time during the day to play with your pet ! No task is to much will enjoy every moment being with them 😀 I am able to travel to your home to keep your pet comfortable in their own environment which keeps there stress levels down and end happier once you come home 😀

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule. When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are cared for with love and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me. I also make sure that when I end the stay, the client’s home is in the same or better condition than when I first came. I will make sure to clean after myself and leave the place looking as spotless as I can. I try to be a considerate and clean house guest.

“Catherine stayed at our home for eight days with our eleven year-old standard poodle, Mason, who has been struggling and needed special care. She was kind, caring and skilled at making sure he ate and had his medicines. Mason took to her immediately and Catherine also made us feel comfortable. We cannot express how grateful we are for her help! We look forward to working with her again.”

“Justin was great with the girls! He followed the instructions we asked of him and our girls absolutely loved him! Would definitely book with him again!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I had a beagle for 12 years, and she was truly my best friend. After her, I got two cats and now recently a third. honestly, I don’t know what I’d do without them. They’re such a big part of my day-to-day life, so caring for pets just feels natural to me. Because I’ve had both dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with all types of personalities and routines. I’m patient, gentle, and I really pay attention to what each pet needs to feel safe and happy, whether that’s space, playtime, or extra cuddles. I’m also big on keeping things clean and comfortable. I don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes, refreshing food and water, and keeping their areas feeling fresh. I’ve also handled senior pets, picky eaters, and basic medication routines, so I’m confident following any instructions you have. And because I love going on long walks, I’d be more than happy to bring a fur baby along with me. It’s fun for me and great for them. The perfect win-win. At the end of the day, I genuinely enjoy being around animals. Spending time with pets makes me happy, and I’d love to give your fur babies the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits really well into my everyday routine. I’m currently in college, but my schedule is flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. I also love going on walks, so adding a fur baby to my daily walks is something I actually enjoy. Since I’m already used to taking care of my own pets, fitting in feedings, playtime, check-ins, or walks feels very natural for me. Whether you need morning, afternoon, or early evening care, I usually have the time and flexibility to make it work. Your pet will always get the attention they need, I make sure of it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my main focus is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things, the way a pet likes to be approached, their routine, their feeding schedule, and what makes them feel relaxed. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space. I follow your instructions exactly, keep things clean, and make sure your pet stays in their normal routine so they don’t feel stressed. I always double-check doors, gates, and windows to make sure everything is secure before I leave. With my own pets, I’m very hands-on and attentive, and I bring that same energy to every pet I take care of. I make sure water is fresh, litter boxes or potty areas are clean, and your pet gets the attention or quiet time they need. I’m gentle, patient, and always take my time so your pet feels safe with me. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your fur baby with the same care I give my own.

“Thank you again Christine for taking such amazing care of our extended fur family. We are so grateful to you and appreciate your kindness and flexibility.”
