She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!”

“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
