I'll go the extra mile for your pup

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Bridget. I'm a dog mom to my fur baby, Lola. She's my favorite thing in the entire world and I'd love nothing more than to give love to your fur baby, too! I recently moved from San Diego, CA to Des Plaines, IL. Prior to my move, you could usually find me at the Lafayette Dog Park throwing parties for dogs. I love being involved with the dog lover community. You can't find better people! I have experience ranging from puppies to seniors. I've grown up with dogs and have cared for them in various environments. I'm also very dedicated to and passionate about positive reinforcement only training, so you'll never have to worry about whether I'll treat your dog right. My goal as your dog's caretaker is to provide a stimulating experience so when you come home they're ready for some snuggles and love rather than bounding with energy making you want to tear your hair out! I'm very comfortable with all breeds. I have extensive experience with dogo argentinos, in particular. So, please do not hesitate to put your large breed in my care! I can handle 'em.

I’ve used Bridget so much that she already knows my schedule, I’ve always called her last minute and my dog Kira has always been taken care of. Thank you again Bridget.

Bridget is great about communicating promptly, taking plenty of pictures and submitting the walk review. We’re glad to have her take care of our pup.

I had an emergency at work and had to leave immediately, Bridget saved the day and walked Kira. By the end of the walk Kira looked exhausted which is good for a dog like her with a lot of energy. Thank you bridge and I will be booking you again.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority for both your pets and myself. Eloping, animal interactions, and environment safety are always on my mind when entering a new space and taking your pets on a walk. I will protect your animal like they're my own.

Information Bridget H. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog resource guard? (Food or toy aggression) Does your dog have any fears or anxiety? What is their favorite toy or treat? What makes them most comfortable?

A typical day

Your dog's experience depends on your preference, but in general my goal is to give your dog some exercise. Whether that's playing with toys, running, fast paced walking, or a leisurely sniff-fest is up to you! I also think it's important to exercise the mind, especially in those working dog breeds. Please let me know what your dog needs to brush up on or learn and we can spend our time working on that!
