Super fun dog lady! Snuggles & naps
Pet care experience
I've owned dogs my entire life. I love caring for them and petting all the puppies! It’s not a home without the pitter-patter of dog paws throughout the house. I’ve been dog-sitting with Rover for about seven years. I’ve also fostered dogs with a local rescue, specializing in weened puppies, and I love volunteering my time with local shelters. My visits and time with your fur babies is all about their favorite things to do. Whether it’s long walks, tug of war, or relaxing on the couch, I’m committed to making your fluffy friend as happy as possible. I advocate housesitting over boarding because our pets are the most comfortable when they’re in their own home, and they’re following their regular routines. Years of pet care experience has taught me that the comfort and safety of your pets’ home is the best way to keep them happy while you’re away. While I’m staying at your house, I mostly watch tv, work on my computer, and eat snacks while I snuggle with your doggies. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, take out trash, and feed fish and small pets for free. I can provide some dog grooming services for an additional fee. I have my own dog named Ruca, and she’s an awesome lab/chow/pibble mix. She’s my protector and my best friend. My roommate has a dog too, named Gambit who’s a goofy hound dog mix. Luckily, my roommate is awesome and happily watches our two dogs when I’m away for housesitting visits. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies :) The care I provide for your pet is 100% dependent on the individual needs of each animal, and the in depth discussion we have during our Meet & Greet appointment. I ask every prospective family to fill out my detailed pet care document prior to the M&G so nothing is missed or overlooked. I want nothing more than to provide excellent pet care so you feel comfortable, your furry friends feel safe, and everyone is super happy!
Reviews
Took great care of our two energetic Austrialian Shepards while we were out of town. She was attentive to their needs and kept us updated. She took special care of one of them who just had an emergent procedure on her leg. Would definitely trust her to take care of my dogs next time we are out of town.
Bridgette was great and our anxious puppy immediately took to her. She asked very thorough questions about her care which made us feel more confident about her care of Wister. Definitely recommend Bridgette!
Bridgette house sat our 2 dogs and 1 cat for about 10 days recently and we couldn't be more thrilled with how everything went! She sent daily updates including pictures and videos of the pups/kitty. When we came back the house was even cleaner than when we left it. We definitely will be rebooking with her again for future visits! Couldn't be happier with how everything went!
This was the first time I had to leave my pup since moving here and Bridgette did a brilliant job! She took great care of my older greyhound and sent me photos every day. When I returned home, my house was neat and clean and my pup was happy and healthy. She really put my mind at ease and is very capable, caring, and responsible.

I care for your pets as if they are my own. I love animals, and I always become to attached to the fur babies I watch. I try to stick closely to their regular routines, and I love each and every pet I visit with.
Information Bridgette T. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs! Puppies, seniors, and everyone in between. I have a serious soft spot for seniors and special needs dogs, and I'm very experienced with them. I like to be well versed with your routines and care instructions, as well as any little quirks your doggo might have. I have a detailed pet care document for each family to fill out before our Meet & Greet appointment so nothing is missed.
A typical day
I like to do whatever your dog likes to do. Nap, ball, fetch, tag…I love it all. Everyone likes walks and outside playtime, and I'm all about that life too. I love giving good puppies lots of treats, so we’ll probably practice basic training and tricks as well. Be sure to let me know if your pupper is learning something new!

I’m a full time pet care provider and writer. i write from home, but I have lots of doggie clients and appointments throughout the week. My schedule is flexible, but I come and go often, so I love to know your pets’ normal routine during housesitting visits so we can make sure they’re as happy as possible.
