About
I've worked as a self-employed professional handler/caregiver for 20+ years. My experience and skill level distinguish me from the "service stable" level, as well as my commitment to sustaining a perfect safety/injury- and loss-free record from day one with my clients' pets and their homes.
This work demands that you above all pay attention to your pets, the immediate surroundings, and all behaviors on the streets through which we navigate. Indoors, details regarding food, water, hazardous/tempting access areas, cleanliness, and each pet's health/stress behaviors provide information client & professional can relay to each other to keep each pet in each home happy.

My daughter chose Bridget to watch her 2 Persians for 2 weeks while she visited me (her mother) out of state. Bridget sent photos to us every day and each day you could see that she was bonding with the 2 furballs! SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Would definitely ask her to watch them again in the future. VERY VERY HAPPY and I hope she will visit with them again! Bridget is AWESOME with PETS!!
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

I would recommend Bridget to cat sit! She came over to meet us and got to know the cats and sent photos thereafter.... gave us updates and kept the litter box clean. The apt looked the same as when we left, so that was really nice to come home to. It is hard letting someone you don’t know into your apt and ask for them to care for your cats, but Bridget is trustworthy.

Bridget was wonderful! I was very nervous leaving my 2 month old kittens home for the first time, but I got home to find a really clean litter box, recycled food cans and two very happy kitties :) She texted photos so I knew they were in good hands on my vacation and she is 100% trustworthy. Will definitely be contacting her for future vacations!
She also responds very quickly to requests and has cats of her own so is really experienced!

Bridget, of Bridgeworks has worked for us for the past twenty years, through 2 sets of dogs. A Springer Spaniel, a Lhasa and a papillon In the first set, and now a 9 year old papillon, and a 4 year old Springer Spaniel. During our 20 years of experience she has had to cancel only 3 days with us. She walks our dogs 5 days a week, and at a slightly increased, but fair rate, on the occasional Saturday or Sunday. When we are traveling we have chosen to have her stay with our dogs and house-sit rather than board them. We own a private townhouse in New York, so it requires a great deal of trust to have someone stay at our house. We trust her completely. The dogs are always thrilled to see her, she seems to have a true and deep rapport with animals. Each of our dogs, naturally, have different dispositions and she leads them differently and appropriately for their temperaments. The most thing about Bridget is that I feel my dogs are safe with her on New York's city streets. I could not recommend her more highly.

Bridget has had responsibility for two of my dogs:
My first dog who lived until he was almost 17 and required a certain amount of care and attention based on his age.
My second dog who came into my life when he was 10 weeks old – also in need of some special attention and obedience training – basic skills and proper leash behavior.
Bridget has had a special relationship with both of my dogs. I am always very happy to see how excited my dog gets when he can sense her arrival at my door or at the dog park.
Her most important priority is the animals within her responsibility. She is very reliable - In the estimated 15 years that Bridget has cared for my dogs, I can think of only one day that she was unable to report to work and, of course, she let me know in advance. She often stays in my home when I go away and the house is always spotless upon my return. She has been very flexible to accommodate special requests.
