Without A Dog Our Heart Is Empty

All the dogs that have been in my care are treated as my own. You might get them back a little more spoiled than before. I believe in natural cleaners, treats and bathing products for dogs. Each interaction will be specific to your dog, for example your dog like squeaky toy play or peanut butter. I always incorporate some form of training in my interactions. I have over 15 years of dog training experience with the Austin Humane Society, I also specialize in treating some behavior issues. We can always talk about what’s going on with your family pet to work on the right things. I treat your fur babies as my own in your home. I’m careful to make sure they are safe and happy. It’s all about them when I’m sitting.

Amazing experience! We never worry about our dogs and cats when we travel and Miss Margaret takes care of them! She’s amazing!

My kitties are always so happy to see Margaret! She spends time with them, plays with them and loves on them every time she comes to visit. Feels so good to know our boys are in good hands while we are away! Highly recommend :-)

Took wonderful care of my cat Bubba as always! Margaret is my go to pet sitter for him whether we leave for a weekend or a week. I can always take a trip knowing he’s in the best possible hands

I hate to leave my boy when I go out of town, but Margaret always eases my guilt over leaving him because she goes above and beyond to treat him like he is her on. Always on time and she always sends photos and a report. The best!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always careful when coming & going to make sure no fur babies get out. When out in your backyard I’m always with them. If we’re going for a walk I am very diligent about surroundings, other dogs and people or anything that your pup lets me know causes them pause.
