Our dog was well-cared for by Brigid during the holiday weekend, and I appreciated her prompt communication and flexibility on all matters. Because our rental house in Cloverdale did not allow pets, but we wanted our senior doggie close by for the special weekend. We chose Good Dogs Pet Sitting for overnite care. Drop-off and pick-up were a breeze, and the owner very pleasant and kind. Would def recommend if you need animals who need some personal TLC. read more

Brigid and Good Dogs are amazing! We live in a small town and what a treat to find someone so trustworthy and that genuinely loves our pets. We even have a special needs dog-blind and diabetic and that didn't phase Brigid. I am always comforted knowing when the dogs are in her care, and she even sends "proof of life" (lol) pics when we are gone for longer periods of time. Great group!!! read more

Brigid cared for all of our pets for close to 10 years before we moved out of the area. During that time we had a golden retriever named Jodie and an assortment of birds, namely parakeets and cockatiels. During her visits she would clip the wings of all the birds and give Jodie a bath. Jodie hated baths but Brigid always got the best of her. In fact, Jodie had a happy sound she would make on very special occasions, such as when we would return home after a trip or when Brigid would come over. All of the animals were always well cared for and if we still lived in the same area we wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. Highly recommend! read more

Good Dogs Pet Sitting stayed with our 16 year old Flat Coated Retriever Elena while we were in Europe. We were gone for 14 days and were nervous about leaving her. They took such good care of her, sent us pictures, funny anecdotes- Elena has quite the personality- and we felt totally at ease and enjoyed our vacation immensely. We highly recommend Good Dogs Pet Sitting! Peace of mind guaranteed plus a very happy and well cared for dog. Thank you Good Dogs Pet Sitting!!!! - Dianne V. read more

Brigid provides home visits and overnights for our three dogs. They are kind of high maintenance and she does a great job meeting their needs. We work about 30 minutes away from our house and have hectic schedules. It is comforting to know she is there to checkin on our dogs and let's us know how they are doing. She is very flexible and has been able to work around our ever changing schedules. She also house sits when we are away. We always come home to a peaceful house and happy pets. We feel fortunate to be in her service area!!! read more

See all

Recently I was in dire need of someone to pet sit/house sit with very little notice while I was going on a business trip. I was referred by several people to Good Dogs Pet Sitting. The immediate and prompt communication from Maureen and Brigid was impressive. These days you get so used to leaving voicemails and emails for people/companies and not hearing back for hours if not days. Within the hour Maureen and I were talking on the phone and set up a meet & greet. It was clear from the moment I met Maureen that this woman not only was competent, experienced and detail oriented but clearly also loves dogs. It was comforting to see the genuine and sincere interest Maureen showed both my standard poodles. The care for my poodles do not fall in the "normal" pet sitting category, in fact they fall in the "high maintenance" category. Anyone who knows poodles knows that first off it is like having toddlers. In addition both of my pups have medical issues requiring highly specialized diets with extensive meal preps and if that wasn't enough they both require many medications incl. giving fluids for their various ailments. I was so stressed out about my upcoming trip that I was considering cancelling it, but after meeting Maureen and going over everything, I knew the fur kids would be in the best of hands. During my trip I received many daily updates on their activities, appetite level etc. with photos. I couldn't believe I finally had found someone that cared so deeply about my pups that I could breathe a little easier. It meant the world to me to know they were well taken care of - and I mean well above norm taken care of. I am so very very grateful to have found you guys! On the date of our return we were unexpectedly faced with flight delay after delay and ended up not arriving home till 2:30am in the morning instead of midafternoon. Maureen graciously stayed and made sure the dogs were looked after. She ended up extending her stay till the next morning. She went over and above and during the ordeal with the delays stayed calm (I needed that as I was at the end of my rope) assuring me not to worry. If you've ever been stuck in an airport with flight delays - I'm sure you can imagine the anxiety level I was experiencing. Even after my return I have received many texts checking in on the progress of treatments for my pups and their well-being in general. It is so heartwarming to find someone so competent and caring and it is with 100% sincerity and confidence that I recommend Maureen and Bridgid /Good Dogs Pet Sitting to anyone who is looking for top notch pet care. I hold very high Standards (pun intended) and they exceeded every one of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! read more

We love this company!! Our 2 dogs and 2 cats prefer when we are on vacation because they get to hang out with Brigid and Mo. We don't think they know we're gone. They are well cared for and it shows. Good Dogs loves ALL animals and the animals know it!! We won't leave our pets with anyone else. read more

We've been fortunate enough to have Maureen and Brigid take care of our dog. Twice. Both times, they have been great with communication. And we have always come home to a clean home and a happy dog. Indi is a rescue and doesn't always get along with other dogs. So we need petsitters we can trust with that challenge. Very pleased with Good Dogs and would totally recommend them. read more

While living in Brigid's area of service we hired her many times to pet sit our golden retriever and several pet birds. She was extremely trustworthy and the animals loved her (as did we!). A visit from Brigid was a special treat for the golden, who would emit little sighs of joy she reserved only for very special people. The birds, while not crazy about having their wings clipped, were well and gently handled by Brigid who always did a fine job. It's a difficult thing to have a stranger enter your home in your absence, and still harder when that stranger is responsible for your beloved pets. Brigid is honest, responsible and smart. She is the one you are seeking for this important position. We highly recommend her. read more

I am writing a review for a service that did not happen due to this company cancelling my booking and giving me little time to find an appropriate sitter for my your dog and our foster puppy. I had known brigid and Mo and wanted to give them my business, as they were local and seemed responsible. I should have known it would be a failure when I had set up a quick meet and property tour to give them all the info needed to be able to do the job. I board dogs myself, and this is a professional, standard practice. I asked them to confirm the morning of which they did not. I texted at the time of the appointment and got a response that they had a flat tire earlier and would come later( a heads up would have been greatly appreciated). I asked when? their response..3:45...they did not show up until 4:30. in essence they were 2.5 hours late for a 2pm meeting and said absolutely nothing upon arrival. Guess its normal for them. I sent for a timeline of their comings and goings during the stay so that I could prepare the dogs, especially the puppy for the schedule, as she is potty training and learning to crate. preparing the little one for change is paramount to her feeling confident with her training. I received an email back stating they had a pet sit that was extended and they were not able to stay here. Their recommendation was to send my dogs to a local kennel with a bad reputation...not to mention they know my dog hasn't kenneled ever, and the puppy needs observation as she's being house broken, and is a rescue shelter dog!!. I live in an area with little choice for qualified, experienced pet sitters. I guess thats why they think they can charge 90.00 for an overnight. Ive paid that to companies who offer the bonus of 24 hour care and certified dog trainers. Heck! Im providing everything...you just need to show up (and on time). $90.00...I expected more.... Maybe it was too much work for them...two dogs to care for in a total of about 12 hours (much of it sleeping). Tough stuff.. I gotta raise my prices. read more

Brigid and Maureen take care of my small farm while I'm away. This includes over 50 animals in all, chickens, ducks and sheep. They do an amazing job always catering to my crazy, specific instructions. I used to have such a hard time leaving my darlings when I would travel but it says a lot to me that I don't worry anymore. They often check in with texts letting me know everything is okay at home which I really appreciate! I leave home knowing my animals are in caring, competent hands. They go above and beyond for my critters and treat them as if they were their own. Cannot say enough good things about their services! read more

Have had Brigid as pet sitter for a couple of months. She's very professional...totally reliable, conscientious, and most of all. great communicator. It means a lot to me when I'm on the road to hear about my dogs. Both my dogs genuinely like her, too, which to me is the best reference of all! read more

Our boxer needed extra walks now that our son went back to college. I found Brigid on Facebook. We couldn't be happier with the service. Brigid and Maureen came to meet our dog at our home first. Now they take her on hikes or the dog park 3 times a week. They pick her up in their car and drop her off. She loves it! They really know what a dog enjoys and our dog is so relaxed and content on the days she has been out on her adventures. I especially like seeing photos and videos of our boxer sent to me on my phone or posted on Facebook. They also text me updates. Really makes me feel happy to know our pet is out having a great play day during our work day. Your dog will love Good Dogs Pet Sitting exercising service. read more

Brigid and Maureen provide 2 walks a day for my two dogs 4 days out of the week. They have been a huge help since I was new to the area. They also do a pick up and drop off for me on fridays (they bring them to my work)..very helpful and a time saver! I would highly recommend them. Maureen sends pics every now and then and they update me via text, which is also nice since I can't receive phone calls while at work. All in all, very happy. read more

Our Girls love Maureen & Brigid! It's such a relief to know that they are well cared for while we are away -- our first experience was when we were new in town and my husband needed surgery -- we had to be out of town for 5 days! They had never had a petsitter before. We arrived back home and they never missed a beat...happy to see us, but it was clear they missed their new "Auntie Maureen!" read more
