Information Margaret B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there any special needs your dog may have. We have hosted many dogs with different personalities and our two dogs get along with many dogs. However, dogs that have a tendency to obsessively bark will not be a good fit.

A typical day

During the weekdays, our mornings starts out with a 20-30 min walk. The dogs are let out into the fenced backyard at least every hour to make sure the squirrels are not in the yard again! After clearing the property of squirrels is back inside for laying around on the numerous dog beds or playing with any of the dog toys. (Repeated many times during the day). Evenings is dinner time and a stimulating dog puzzle with treats. Weekends include longer walks and/or trips to the dog park. Depending on the comfort level of our visitor.

Pet care experience

Im all about bringing the pack together. We have a comfortable house for dogs with lots of toys and dogs beds to enjoy. We have hosted numerous anxious dogs who just don't do well at a kennel while their family is gone. I have many techniques to helping our visitors feel as comfortable as possible during their stay and they end up feeling part of the pack. We ensure lots of activity and routine chill time to help our visitors settle in.

My dog Butters had a great time at Margaret's! She did a great job communicating with me daily and sending so many fun pictures and videos. He even got to go on a hike, which he really enjoys.

Our dog “Marshall” loves staying with Margaret. The night walks. Hanging out in the nice backyard. It’s definitely a little vacation for our four legged friend.

Margaret made me feel comfortable from the start. She listened to Bardi’s schedule/quirks and made me feel at ease with her relaxed responses. She sent so many pictures and gave regular updates. I felt comfortable the entire time and Bardi had a great time.
