Lots-o-Love for One Small Dog Only!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved dogs. We always had dogs in the house when I was growing up. On August 5, 2024, I lost my dog, Lana, after 19 years. She was a Jack Russell/Poodle mix. I would love to take care of doggies and treat them just like my Lana with lots of love, hugs and hanging out on the couch. I will take one dog up to 25 pounds for boarding. I would take more than one small dog if he or she is from the same household. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love.

As always, Brigid was amazing with Daisy. She provided many updates with photos, played outside and gave her lots of love and attention!

Brigid is amazing! I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about her. She loved our dog as much as we do! She was flexible with last minute medical needs for our pup and was in constant communication! We will book again ❤️

It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!

We have used Brigid several times for Bailey. It is so nice to be able to go away and not have to worry about him. We can tell by the pictures she sends that he is very comfortable and feels at home with her, and he appreciates all the extra attention and special treats too. We would highly recommend Brigid to anyone that wants a worry free vacation. Thank you Brigid :-)
