Pet care experience
Walks and Care You Can Count On
What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and patience I’ve developed from caring for my own 13-year-old golden retriever who has thyroid disease and gets anxious during storms. Because of this, I’m very comfortable supporting senior dogs, administering medications, and recognizing when a dog needs extra reassurance or a calmer approach. I also have a lot of hands-on dog-walking and pet-sitting experience. I regularly care for neighbors’ dogs—feeding them, letting them out, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m also experienced with dogs who enjoy swimming and spending time in the pool. I always supervise closely, make sure they’re safe getting in and out, and help them enjoy the water in a controlled, fun, and comfortable way. Whether it’s a slow stroll for an older pup, pool time for a water-loving dog, or extra snuggles for an anxious one, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every dog like my own: with patience, consistency, and genuine love.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets—whether in my home or at a client’s—I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps each pet comfortable. In a client’s home, I always follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, crates, and gates are secure, double-check food and medication instructions, and keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior so I can catch any signs of stress or discomfort early. I’m attentive during walks, use secure leashes, and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unknown dogs. At my own home, pets have a clean and comfortable space to relax, plenty of supervised playtime, and a quiet environment—especially helpful for older or more anxious dogs. I’m extra patient with senior pets or pups with special needs, and I keep their feeding, bathroom breaks, and medication schedules consistent. Above all, I treat every pet with the same care, respect, and attentiveness I give to my own dog, making sure they feel safe, understood, and loved.
Ratings and reviews
Thorough visits and lots of pictures. Highly recommend.
Bridget has been walking my dog Holly for a long time, since she was a puppy! She’s always super excited when she comes over for her daily walks.

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a college student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have a very open and flexible schedule the rest of the week. I’m fully available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, and consistent care. Even on my class days, I still have plenty of time before and after to check in on pets. Because of this open schedule, I’m able to give pets reliable attention, regular walks, and care that fits their normal routine.
