Bridget was great with Suzette. She is a big girl and is sometimes hard to handle. It was apparent that Bridget is a professional and great with dogs. Thank you Bridget. Will use you again.

About: I’ve dedicated my career to working with animals, from wildlife in the field to looking after pets at home. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Animal Science, which gave me a strong foundation in animal behavior, health, and care. Combined with my hands-on experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My Experience: -Background in animal biology and real-world care, providing both knowledge and compassion. -Experience with senior pets and those needing special care, including administering medications. -Worked in a greyhound rescue facility, training retired and injured greyhounds to adjust to normal pet lives in hopes of becoming adopted. -Skilled with energetic puppies who need patience, play, and training reinforcement. -Reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative—I treat every pet as if they were my own. -I have a soft spot for chubby pets and would love to take your chubster on a walk toward better health and happiness! Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, or extra snuggles, I provide the same level of care and attention that gives pet parents peace of mind. I am currently available for walks and drop-in visits Monday through Friday, preferably during the day. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily routine—I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while sticking to their normal routine, so they feel happy and comfortable when you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine. I make sure they have fresh food and water, get outside for potty breaks or walks, and enjoy plenty of playtime and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs—whether that means extra patience with puppies, gentle care for seniors, or lots of snuggles for cuddle bugs. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I work from home, so I’m available to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I have years of experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. While I’ve spent more time with cats, I’m quickly gaining hands-on dog experience thanks to friends who trust me to dog-sit their pups. I’ve even rescued and returned lost dogs in my neighborhood—proof that I take every animal’s safety and well-being seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Your dogs and cats will be in caring, reliable hands. I work from home and can easily flex my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. My schedule is M-Th, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. I do go into the office on the occasional Thursday, but that is also flexible. I have a yard for pups to play around in. Living close to the Capitol building, I have many walking l9cations available to me. I've been watching dog training videos and learning how dogs interact with each other and other humans. My home is cozy and clean. I have space for smaller pets + a basement if they need more room to run around inside.

About: “I’ve had my own dog for 7 years and absolutely love being around animals! I’m the one friends and family call when they need someone to walk, feed, or snuggle their pets. I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and care.” “I work early mornings, which gives me plenty of free time during the day and evenings to care for pets. I enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets attention and structure throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure each pet gets the care and love they deserve.” “In my home, pets are treated like family! I have a safe and cozy space for them to relax, plus a yard for playtime and exercise. I follow their feeding and walk routines closely and provide plenty of cuddles, attention, and care. Your pet will feel comfortable, happy, and loved while staying in my home.”

Maria is especially good at coaxing our dog out on walks when the pup doesn't want to go. We also appreciate that she submits Rover cards for each visit and leaves the house exactly as she found it. We feel so much better about being at work all day knowing Maria is spending time with our dog.

About: I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. I started with frogs, lizards and snakes, and graduated to cats and dogs. Until I was able to have dogs of my own, I spent over 10 years pet-sitting for friends and family, volunteering in animal shelters, and have even worked in 2 seperate doggy daycares. My MO is always long walks and lots of attention. I have 2 dogs of my own, a cumulative 17 years of pet raising experience. I have experience caring for sick pets and administering medication both orally and subcutaneously. I've had my pups since they were young and would consider them very well trained. If you're looking to work on certain behaviors, I can absolutely work on that during their stay. I have a fenced yard, a safe neighborhood for long walks, and for longer stays, expect your dog to enjoy a nice hike! I mostly work from home, so your dog(s) would never be alone and would have access to my fully fenced backyard whenever they want. During the week, I can do a long walk during my lunch break, and another after work. Weekends I tend to go hiking, so if your pup enjoys nature, they will for sure have a great time. My yard is fully fenced, and I have 2 friendly dogs. Safety is paramount, so dogs would be supervised while in the yard together. If your dog requires a crate, I have both a plastic and soft sided kennel for indoors.

Sophie is such a natural --at caring for dogs as well as people. When I had a sudden death in my family, she stepped up to cover every day I needed, with kind words, extra help and collaboration when we required it. She is now close friends with my poodle, and a warm, reliable friend to me. My dog learns everyday from Sophia!
