Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to be a helping hand!
I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family since I was a kid, caring for a variety of pets—from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, ferrets, and more! I love taking them on walks, playing, sharing a few treats, and making sure they’re in great company while their pet parents are away. I also have experience fostering dogs and kittens, and have lived with several pets over the years. I’d love to help keep your pet safe, happy, and well cared for while you balance your busy life.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a smaller apartment, so I’m unable to house pets at my place. However, I have a vehicle, which allows me to easily commute to the pet owner’s home as needed. I have experience with house- and pet-sitting, and I’m skilled at helping pets feel comfortable and calm in their familiar environment. I respect the pet owner’s home and belongings, while following their instructions closely to ensure I’m providing the best possible care for their pet. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. Making sure the pet is maintaining their routine and making them feel safe while their owner is away.
Ratings and reviews
I booked Bridget for house sitting for a weekend to care for my cats. I came home to everything generally in good shape, and the cats seemed healthy and happy, which I definitely appreciate. That said, communication could’ve been a lot better. I didn’t hear anything for the first 24 hours; no message that she arrived or how the cats were doing. I only received one update after I reached out with one photo of each cat and a short message saying they were “doing good". Also, I found throw up in the trash when I got back, which hadn’t been mentioned at all. I would’ve appreciated knowing about it, just in case it was a sign of something more serious. Overall, I’m glad the cats were okay, but clearer, more frequent communication would’ve made me feel a lot more comfortable while I was away.
Bridget was great!! This was our first time using her but we definitely plan on reaching out to her again in the future to watch the dogs. She had great communication and was very attentive to all my instructions. She offered to go above and beyond for us before we got home from our trip. Our dogs loved her ♥️
Bridget did a great job taking care of my dogs! I have two older pups who are strong willed and require medications. She had no problems with them.
Great communication and Iggy loved her!
Bridget has taken such good care of my pets (2 large dogs and a cat)! She loves animals and the experiences that I’ve had with her really shows that. After coming home I found my pets happy, healthy, and well cared for. I’d definitely have her take care of them again and it’s so nice having someone trustworthy and reliable to take care of them!! Thank you bridget!

Her attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her the ideal choice. I’ve seen her go above and beyond to ensure pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Schedule
I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible and open. This gives me plenty of time to focus on pet care and dedicate myself to taking care of your furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I can easily work pet care into my routine.

- It’s important for me to know any specific routines or preferences your pet has, such as feeding schedules, favorite toys, or any special needs. I also like to know if they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications that need to be managed while you’re away. Understanding how your pet behaves in different situations—like whether they’re more independent or enjoy constant attention—helps me provide the best care. Additionally, it’s helpful to know if they have any anxiety triggers, behavioral quirks, or other things that make them feel comfortable and safe. The more details you can share, the better I can tailor my care to meet your pet’s unique needs!
