Retired and enjoy dog-sitting

Pet care experience

We do require a meet and greet for all initial stays at our home. We do occasionally have more than one dog here if we know the dogs are dog friendly. I have always had a dog or two in my life until recently. My husband and I will take care of all dogs as if they are our own- with love and affection. . We volunteer as transporters for dogs rescued from kill shelters and help move them to fosters, non-kill shelters and other rescues thru transport runs. We have also fostered rescues at various times. Should you require our services please contact us. We do have a questionnaire that asks potential clients to fill out at the meet and greet to let us know about YOUR dog's habits and quirks, their schedules and contact emergency information. We want your dog's stay to be a doggone good time. We also have cameras located throughout the house so if we both leave to do errands we can check in on the "kids"

I'm very pleased with the care and attention my dog got, most importantly he was very happy too. Will definitely take him back when a sitter is needed again.

Always feel comfortable leaving the kids with Margaret. She takes excellent care of them and sends frequent updates and photos. She shows great care and is someone you can trust. Thanks again!

I boarded my Maltese at Peg’s home for 4 days and it was a wonderful experience for both of us! She seemed to have a great time there and I felt confident and comfortable that I had made the right decision to leave her there!! I thoroughly recommend this loving home for your pet!!!

Margaret is a TEN star pet sitter. She stayed in touch with me and sent daily pictures. She treated Kado like he was her own dog. She gave Kado so much love and attention. Took care of his every need. Planning my next vacation and I will use Margaret again. You will not find anyone better than Margaret to take care of your pet. Thank you Margaret. You are AWESOME!!!!!!

We play with the dogs in the back which is fenced. In the yard they can watch the birds, deer, rabbits romp around. We love to play fetch or chase or tug.
