Loving Care, Very Communicative

Pet care experience

Growing up in Australia and caring for a Border Collie/ Kelpie dog and a Tortoiseshell/Tabby cat, I have over 15+ years of personal experience with pets. Living and working in Boston for 4+ years, I miss being around dogs and cats and would love to spend more time caring for yours! I am also looking forward to meeting new people who also love animals. Please feel free to reach out even if calendar says not available - I may still be able to accommodate. My husband Kevin and I only take one pet at a time so that we can offer complete attentive care for your cat or dog. Our apartment building is right next door to a pet-friendly park and we live in our unit that is a >1000 square foot spacious duplex. We cannot wait to bring your dog there to play and hang out! I do ask if you could please bring a blanket for your dog/cat to help them feel extra comfy and relaxed during their stay. I am very responsive and communicative, and will send photos and messages to keep you updated while I am hanging out with your dog or cat. Available for COVID-friendly or virtual meet and greets. Fully vaccinated and boostered. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Brigid was amazing! She was extremely communicative and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her for multiple nights. She sent multiple photos and Frankie looked so happy to be there.

Brigid has watched our Golden, Charlie, multiple times and she always treats him like he is her own. She sends daily updates with pictures, clearly communicates, takes him on a long walk each day, and follows all instructions about food, treats, meds, etc. We can’t recommend her enough to watch your pup!
