Caring and Reliable

I absolutely love dogs! I would have 100 of them if I could, but that’s not realistic, so instead I get to watch other people‘s dogs. My own older dog, Milo is my whole world, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own. I know how much your fur baby means to you, so I make sure they get plenty of love, attention and patience. I love this job and would love to watch your pup 🐕💗 Services 🐶 Dog Walks: A stroll around your neighborhood that gives your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need. Drop-Ins: A visit at your home that can include: Potty break Feeding and fresh water Playtime and exercise Snuggles and companionship Whatever else your pup needs House Sitting / Overnight Boarding: I stay overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home (or mine), along with attentive daytime care every 0-2 hours depending on your dog’s needs, including: Potty breaks and walks Meals Playtime Cuddles Medication, if needed Doggy Daycare: Time spent with your pup while you’re away, giving them whatever they need: Hydration, food, and treats Cuddles and playtime Walks About Me✨ I’ve cared for family dogs my whole life, and I’m usually the person family and friends call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care, and I’m comfortable with all personalities. I’ve also administered medication to my own dog, Milo, so I understand the importance of consistency, routines, and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. With Milo, I handle everything from bathing and daily care to teaching basic tricks and maintaining a structured routine. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. What Makes Me Stand Out 🐕🐕‍🦺 Time and attention: I have a flexible job, which means I’m available for drop-ins and house sitting with flexible scheduling, frequent potty breaks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. Walks that go beyond the block: I make walks fun and mentally stimulating, not just a quick loop. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, walks can include: Sniff breaks New routes to explore

I couldn’t be happier with the incredible care my dog received! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in the hands of someone who truly loves animals. She’s adamant about maintaining your pets’ normal schedule. To say she is accommodating would be an understatement. The daily updates, photos, and genuine attention made all the difference. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. This was above and beyond anything I expected. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further.

My puppies were happy and content when I arrived home while Bridget let them out in my backyard. Even with my smaller, younger puppy being a bit cautious and protective, everything seemed to go EXACTLY as planned! Kudos and thank you! Would highly recommend!

Bridget was a wonderful sitter! She accommodated our dogs nervousness and high energy. She sent pictures and video throughout the night and accommodated us when we extended the time. I will be using her again! I would highly recommend her!

I would love to highly recommend Bridget as a dog walker. She is incredibly reliable, caring, and absolutely wonderful with animals. Bridget has such a gentle, patient way with dogs—whether she’s taking them for a walk, giving them some extra playtime, or just keeping them company, she treats every pup like they’re her own. If you’re looking for someone who is truly dependable and genuinely loves dogs, Bridget is the perfect choice. You can feel completely confident that your pup will be safe, happy, and well-loved in her care. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

I am self employed so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and can absolutely make time for your pup! Pet care is already a huge part of my daily routine so caring for animals comes naturally and I would love to add your own 🐶🐕💗

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced backyard with tons of grass space and areas to sniff and run around. I also have my own dog, Milo, who is sociable and can keep your dog company and help them feel more comfortable. Milo loves to play and is well trained.

Pets

A typical day

There is a big park near my house, so I like to take Milo and my guest there to sniff around and get some exercise in along with mental stimulation. I also like to play fetch with the dogs and have the capability to do some basic training and teach them new tricks. Milo himself knows a couple of silly tricks.

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs, medications, allergies, anxieties, behavioral quirks, dietary restrictions, or specific routines. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other animals and people, any training commands they know, and anything that helps them feel most comfortable and safe.
