About: Hi, I’m Bridget—a lifelong animal lover with a heart for providing the same care and attention to your pets that I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and entertained. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels- I have had animals all my life—from playful pups to mellow seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and always attentive to the unique needs of each pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, send regular updates, and treat your pet like family. If you're looking for someone who will go the extra mile—whether it’s a longer walk, belly rubs, or just sitting quietly with a shy pet—I’m your person. I’m here to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make your pet’s day brighter. Let’s set up a meet and greet—I’d love to connect with you and your four-legged best friend! I live and work at the same place, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable and attentive care for your pet throughout the day. I travel too often to have one of my own, and I truly miss the love and companionship animals bring. Caring for pets through Rover fills that gap in my life while allowing me to be a reliable, scheduled support for you. Whether it’s morning walks, evening check-ins, or weekend stays, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. In my home, your pet will enjoy peace, safety, and plenty of love on 88 beautiful acres with no other animals or children around. My house is clean, calm, and organized—ideal for pets who need a quiet, stress-free environment. I tailor care to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, medication, or just cuddles and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and age ranges. Coming from previous experience at a dog boarding facility, I am trained in feeding, handling, and medicating dogs and have worked with dogs of various levels of aggression. I am currently unemployed, so I can be on-call 24 hours for the days that I am available. I have my own dog that I take care of, but I can usually fit your pet into my routine! I currently cannot board dogs since my apartment is not big enough to house more than one dog. When caring for dogs, I make sure to give them the attention and space they require. Please instruct me or provide me with details on how you want your dog to be cared for (and also if your dog has any allergies, I love to give treats!!!)

“Kristine was everything we were hoping for with a pet sitter. We recommend her highly for anyone looking for somehow who will care for your loved companions when you can't be home. She took our dog boys for walks after feeding them, played a bit with them, and gave them love. For our cat boy, she gave him scritches and made sure he came back inside before she left in the evening -- after the all important food and treats.”


About: Hi. I am a retired public school teacher. Tutoring fishing and traveling takes up a large chunk of my time now but I still have time to hang with the hounds. I absolutely love dogs and have been a multiple dog owner since I was a kid (I'm now in my 50's). I am also the “go to dog watcher/walker” when family and friends are away and hopefully can be for your dog at some time as well. Once I retire I plan on having even greater flexibility and more scheduling for my dog friends and their owners. Currently I have the summer off and have availability Mon through Sunday, mornings, afternoons and evenngs.Once the school year begins again at the end of August I will still be available late afternoons and evenings with boarding options Fri and Sat nights only. I am available for walking, watching and for those interested, boarding at our home. We presently have two dogs, both rescues ( a chihuahua and a whippet hybrid) and a fully fenced in backyard (70’ x 100’) that is very dog friendly and dog secure for those who need an overnight or a doggy day care option. Your dogs will be treated like our own. With love and respect. Our dogs have always been a part of our family and that level of love and care will be extended to any dog I am trusted to care for.

I’ll play, brush, communicate with them with a lot of love and care. I presently care for friends’ dogs and have taken care of cats as well.

Taking care of pets Is how I interact with these precious beings now. I hope to be able to have my own pet again some day. My last dog was a Springer Spaniel named Luna.

I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four-legged friends. She has in mind their care, well-being, safety and attention. She genuinely gets the greatest joy when caring for an animal. She has demonstrated to all of those that have used her services her reliability, consistency and talents when it comes to caring for our pets. Over the past years, I have been very impressed with Marila’s attention to detail, flexibility, and reliability. On many occasions, Marila regularly adjusts her schedule to accommodate pet care needs. My mind is at ease when our pet is under Marila’s care. Marila will send me daily pictures via text message to show me that my pet is having fun and enjoying her time.
