Pet care experience
I've grown up with and around dogs my whole life. I grew up surrounded by terriers, so I have no problem handling and appreciating a pup with a stubborn streak. When I was a kid, volunteering at the animal shelter, attending dog shows and obedience classes and rallies wasn't uncommon on the weekends (I even earned my junior handler award in confirmation!) While in college, I was dying to get a dog of my own, but wanted to make sure I could fully commit to the proper time and care a pet would need, so I tested the waters with a lot of dog sitting for my college professors and family friends. Dog sitting included home stays, drop in visits, administering of oral medications, play time, walks, jogs, etc. Now I am a proud dog mamma of my "chiweeagle" (chihuahua, dachshund beagle mix) Maizy (She's the sweetest little girl, very friendly with other dogs, loves hikes, making "zoomies" at the dog park and eating literally EVERYTHING) but don't worry, I've still got a lot of love to give! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup soon!
Reviews
Margaret was wonderful. I will continue to request her!
Margaret is caring and reliable. She sends lots of pix and loves dogs!
Margaret continues to be an excellent and professional sitter whenever we require her services. She goes over and beyond to assist us in all house sitting requests and shows major love and attention to our dog. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your pets in the near future.
Margaret was great! She provided a detailed write up of every visit along with pictures. I would definitely hire her again to take care of my baby!

Information Margaret A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if your dog requires any special care (needs oral medication administered, specific dietary restrictions etc). I also prefer to have contact information for your dog's regular vet on hand, just in case. Better to be safe than sorry!
A typical day
Dogs love walks. I love walks! I would be happy to take your dog for a stroll as far as he/she would like to go. My dog Maizy and I love to go to Deep Run or Bryan Park. I'm also great at coming up with treat puzzles and games. you would be surprised how many uses one can find for a toilet paper tube or an empty egg carton...
