Pet care experience

Dog lover and recent graduate!

Hi! My name is Margaret, a recent graduate from GW Law. I have had dogs my entire life and absolutely love them! I have been a dog sitter since middle school for various neighbors and friends. My family currently has 2 rescue pups, ages 2 and 10! I am happy to walk dogs, host them for the day, or check on them at home!

Margaret did a wonderful job taking care of Bear while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular messages and multiple pictures, which made it easy to see that Bear was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It was obvious that she gave him plenty of attention and made him feel at home. I really appreciated her communication and the care she provided, and I would absolutely trust her to watch Bear again. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Margaret took perfect care of my dog Norman. She was so way to communicate with and gave regular updates on his well being with lots of pics. I would definitely use Margaret next time I am in DC!
