Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to spoil your furry friend!
Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and every family pet I have had has truly been my best friend. They bring a level of comfort and unconditional love that is impossible to match, which is why caring for dogs and cats has always come naturally to me. I am currently a graduate student, and throughout high school and undergrad, I volunteered weekly at local animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and needs. Back home in Virginia, I have also been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends for the past 10 years, from quick check-ins and walks to overnight stays. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens who need patience and training, as well as senior dogs and cats who require medication and special diets. No matter the pet, I always make it my priority to ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and safe with someone new, so I always prioritize building trust and letting the dog and/or cat get to know me on their own time. I am more than happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure both the pet and the owner feel comfortable and confident. During drop-in visits and walks, it is my priority to follow each pet's routine as closely as possible and adapt to their own unique personality. I know how important safety is, so I will always make sure pets are secure on walks and closely supervised during visits. I also believe communication is key, so I will be sure to send all owners updates and photos for peace of mind while they are away.
Ratings and reviews
Bridget was amazing! She took such good care of my dogs while I was away. I never had to worry about their well being. She kept me updated everyday and sent pictures to show me that they were fine. I will definitely be using her again!
Bridget is one of my favorite cat sitters and I know when I leave my two cats with her that they’re going to be in great hands. She goes above and beyond, spending extra time playing with them when she stops in and giving them a ton of love. I couldn’t recommend Bridget more if you’re looking for peace of mind when you have to leave your pets!

Schedule
I am currently out of school for the summer and working part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends. This allows me to accommodate a variety of drop-in visit and walking times, including mornings, afternoons evenings, and weekends. I love being active and spending time with dogs and cats, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine!
