Pet care experience
Daycare and Boarding: Our focus is senior dogs, shy pups, and dogs with special needs. If your dog has white whiskers, suffers from some anxiety or physical disabilities, or simply enjoys a quieter, slower pace, they will fit right in with our regular crew. My husband and I provide individualized care and accessibility options - support slings or ramps for stairs, pet steps to get on beds, lifting as needed. All ages are welcome but very playful dogs or pups who love to wrestle will have more fun at a different home with similarly active dogs. Dog Walks and Drop Ins: Walks are based on your preference; you let me know if the walk is more for physical exercise, mental exercise, potty break, or all of the above. Drop In visits can include playtime in the yard, meals, cuddling/socializing, cage or litter box cleaning, etc. I have experience administering medication and visiting various types of pets including: tortoises, parrots, cats, chickens, fish, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a lifelong dog owner (all rescues) and have experience training dogs in obedience and competition agility. My 5+ years on Rover.com have been fantastic; I have met some of the best pets and their humans! --------------------------------------------------------------------
Reviews
This is the second time we’ve had Margaret stay with our pets while we went on vacation. If you’re looking for the perfect pet sitting experience, then she’s the person to book. Her attention to detail cannot be overstated. Being able to leave our 3 dogs in someone’s hands as capable as hers is worth every penny and then some. You can’t put a price on piece of mind. We highly recommend her, and hope she will be available for our next trip.
Margaret A. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Margaret was a godsend. We went on vacation for 6 days while she stayed in our home and took care of 3 dogs, a cat, and our fish. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her back. We can’t thank her enough for taking care of our home and pets while we were away and trust her impeccably. Book her while you still can, she’s amazing.
Daphne does wonderfully in her care and loves being with a pack of friendly dogs for the day.
