“Kristen has been so amazing with Sulley! He is normally hesitant around new people and he took to her so quickly! She is great at playing with him and respects my instructions. She is empathetic and goes beyond to help — even my sweet four year old cat who is afraid of everyone immediately walked out to greet her! She is going to be a regular visitor for Sulley and myself. ❤️”
“Stacey was an absolute pleasure to meet, and I can tell our boys loved her because the shy one came out for photos! The boys were both happy and healthy when we got home, and even more important, they were both…chill. Serene, not anxious. She obviously spent time with them so they wouldn’t feel lonely or upset. In short: we are extremely happy and look forward to a long happy pet-sitting relationship!”
“Andrea was great with Mo. She played Frisbee and walked the yard with him. She also updated us on Mo's grumpy roommates, the cats. We appreciated all the extra she did. Great first experience with Rover.”
“Katie was great! I didn’t worry about our pups at all while we were gone. She even picked up mail and cleaned a couple things for us. She sent photos daily and our pups loved her!”
“Karen left a great first impression with my kitty and I! She asked and answered all our questions, spent some nice cuddle time with Mister, and gave me confidence about her future visits. Many thanks Karen!”
“This is our second (or third, I can’t remember!) time using Allison to take care of our cat Edgar and we LOVE her! Allison is so responsive and sends great updates and pictures, which always makes me feel so much better about leaving Edgar! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ximena is wonderful! She gave us plenty of support and advice as we transitioned to becoming dog owners in December 2025! Our dog Daisy loved Ximena from the very first time she met her! Ximena is very intuitive with a dog or pet’s needs. She always used positive reinforcement to guide Daisy in commands. She is always patient, gentle and kind with animals. She even gave Daisy a gift when she had moved farther away. Honestly we were so devastated that Ximena would not be able to walk Daisy anymore. We have had other dog walkers but no one as consistent and sweet as Ximena. She always sends lots of photos and detailed messages about the walks. We wish she could still be walking Daisy! We highly recommend Ximena if you need care for your pet!”

About: Hi! I’m Bridgid, a caring and reliable dog sitter with a beloved pup of my own. I know how much pets mean to us, so I’ll treat your dog like family — walks, playtime, and cuddles, all in the comfort of your home. Happy, stress-free pets while you’re away! I currently work 3 days a week, so 4 days of my week I am free! My schedule is different every week, but it is scheduled 6 weeks at a time which gives plenty of time to plan! I offer services conveniently only at the client’s own home, because I have a dog of my own who I will keep separate! Safety is priority!

I love all animals from massive to small and I would be lucky to work with you to take care of your loved ones I am currently a college student at Shepherd University with my most busy day of the week being Wednesdays. I am very adaptable and willing to run back to your home in between classes to ensure your pet is well taken care of. Whenever I take on a new service, I prefer to meet the per first in order to establish a little bit of familiarity between the two of us in a relaxed environment. I love to take dogs on long walks and play with puppies or otherwise energetic dogs. I also like to relax and chill with a cat. I am very attentive to what you would like me to do with your pets; and I always reach out in case of any confusion, or just to check in and send you pictures of your pet.
“Laura is excellent! She came by for two meet and greets, for the visit was always on time, and the dogs were well taken care of. She's great at filling out the care card and keeping us informed of the visits. Highly recommend, I will use again!”
“Alexia was the best! Very professional and caring. She watched our (anxious) hound when we were on vacation in Harper’s Ferry. We are from another state, didn’t know the area and didn’t have definite plans until we arrived. Alexia was flexible and understanding. She responded to text quickly and followed all directions. Most importantly our dog loved her! She is a gem. Highly recommend!!”
“Rosie watched my cat, Aria, a second time for the holidays. Aria is typically pretty shy around folx, but she is super cuddly, happy, and laid back around Rosie, and they seem to have had a great bond both times Rosie has catsit. Rosie was super sweet and on top of providing me with updates and pics. Highly recommend and will continue to use her in the future.”

“Jeannine gave me the peace of mind to be out of town without having to worry about my puppy. She made sure he went out on a potty breaks each time as requested and made sure he got playtime and some loving too. ?”
