About Brigid

Hi there! I’m Brigid and am originally from a small farm in New Zealand where I have grown up with a huge love of animals all my life. I am an experienced and trained dog-walker with previous paw friends in London and Leiden where I have also looked after many lovely cats on a regular basis. After first moving from New Zealand to London in 2017, I have now lived in the Netherlands for 2.5 years, previously in Leiden and now based in Amsterdam where I live on my own in an apartment - sadly no space for pets of my own!

I work full time (currently from home 100% of the time, and otherwise 2-3 days per week from home) as a lawyer and with a flexible schedule, have good availability to spend with pets who need a play and a walk for 30 mins or an hour at a time, helping with mealtimes, or just some cuddles and company during the day at your home. I have owned labradors but am experienced with dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes - and love them all! - and am comfortable and patient with dogs who have a little anxiety or extra challenges. I am also trained and experienced in administering oral and injected medications in both cats, dogs and rabbits.

I can't wait to get to know you and your furry friends!

Brigid clearly has experience and training on how to handle young Indy getting used to new people entering her home. She has a calm way about her and was accepted quickly by Indy, who happily goes on walks with her, returning with an enthusiastic wagging tail. Brigid also has knowledge of clickers and takes ours on the walks, which has offered continuity in Indy's training and in turn given me even more confidence that my pup's in good hands.
