About Bridget

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I am a 54-year-old mom and former teacher who's spent a lifetime taking care of animals. As a little girl, it was the bird with a broken wing, as an adult I leave those tricky things to the vet. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have had many of my own. Cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, and hamsters, my own pets have been quite varied. I've done lots of pet sitting for family and friends over the years, and enjoy it so thoroughly that I'm ready to branch out to other households. Unfortunately, due to severe mobility issues I am unable to do any dog walking, but if you have kitties that need basic care or other small animals, I'm your person. I will take care of them as if they were my own and they will for sure be delighted with their new human bestie.
