Experienced and Dedicated Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs of all sizes my entire adult life. I volunteer at a local shelter so I have a lot of experience with aggressive dogs, administering medication, CPR, and feeding raw. I have experience with most breeds and can do short walks, long runs or week/ weekend care. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. Breeds I have owned and trained personally: Labrador, German Shepard, Weimaraner, Airedale Terrier, Terrier Mix (small). My personal belief is never to correct a dog with physical correction but verbal or treat reward. I use Western and Holistic medicine on my own dog and feed 100% raw. Exercise, nutrition, training, cuddles and LOVE is what every dog deserves and what your doggie will get with me :) I was a dog groomer 10+ years ago and am happy to bathe your dog. I charge $30 and will take your dog to Dirty Dog in Arlington Heights to bathe, professionally dry and brush him/her myself. I also have a dremmel and am happy to file nails, I am professionally trained to do this. Please let me know if your dog has been bathed before and any important information I should be aware of, ex. Doesn’t like the blower, bites for nails, etc.

I was hesitant to have a dog walker because my dog can be really timid and tends to bark but Rebound took a liking to Bridget as soon as she came in. The first walk or two was difficult but as soon as she got him out the door he got less and less cautious around her. She was patient and kind with my old pup and I couldn't be happier that she's taking care of him while I work.

Bridget was great. Daily comments were very helpful and her concern for the dog was heartwarming. I will definitely hire again.

Bridget is fantastic.. goes over and beyond with my Jax and I will continue to use her! She even offered to start running with him. I will continue to use Bridget and would highly recommend her.

Bridget is the best thing to happen to our move to the area. I was so nervous to leave my girl Penelope with anyone, especially since she can be aggressive towards dogs. Bridget’s experience with reactivity and the details in dog care is beyond the norm. She is the best thing for your pet! When our girl got into medicine she took detailed observations and asked later in the evening for an update. She genuinely cares. She also respects the owner methods and suggestions, but has taught me to trust my dog and give her chances to impress me. Bridget will be my go to for all other pet needs!
