Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and timely.
I’ve watched and handled dogs for over a decade, and have the experience and strength to control large or energetic pets. I keep extensive notes on medical needs, diet, commands, and personality quirks for all the pets I watch so I can be sure they get the best care possible.
Cat care experience
Margaret also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
This was my first time boarding Ellie with Margaret, and I knew right away that she was going to be wonderful. From the moment of our meet and greet, she put me at ease. She was warm, attentive, ask the right questions, and clearly loves dogs. Her communication was outstanding the whole stay. I got regular updates and plenty of photos, which made it so much easier being away! I never had to wonder how Ellie was doing, because I could see for myself that she was happy and well cared for. I’ve used many dog boarders on Rover, and Margaret is simply the best! I’ll absolutely be booking her again. .
Margaret was amazing! She kept me updated throughout the stay and was flexible with the drop off and pick up times! She was so friendly and easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking with her again! My pup loved her as well!
Maggie did a great job taking care of our senior dog. We got pictures during his stay and updates on how he was doing. We would definitely use her again!
Great communicator, nice home, took great care of Gia
Maggie was a great find on Rover! She is close by; very attentive to our and our doxipoo’s needs while she stayed at Maggie’s home for a week. She sent many pictures and provided updates regularly. Would definitely use her services again! 5 star!!
Margaret was great. We couldn't do a meet and greet prior but we set up time to chat, and she made sure the dogs would get along. She sent photos and kept me abreast of what was going on overall.

Schedule
I work part time, but my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a car and can travel to your home to watch and walk your pet, or take you pet to my home (as long as your dog is ok with other dogs).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a a fairly calm neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and grassy to take your pets to, and can walk your pet multiple times per day. I will also send you pictures of your pet with every visit or throughout the day so you're kept in the loop of how your pet is doing.
Pets
A typical day
I strive to ensure your pet will be given company and kept active. I typically take dogs on at least 3 walks a day, though that can vary depending on their own activity. I will play games and can stay up to an hour with pets that need more attention, and will always make sure your pet has at least gone to the bathroom before leaving. and for dogs that stay with me, I have a very gentle (though also very large) dog to act as a playmate.
