Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog's New Best Friend
I've been pet sitting for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and hamsters. Over the years I've looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Corgis and Boston Terriers to Golden Retrievers and everything in between. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive care and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, trips to a local park or trail (with your permission), or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'm very diligent about following your instructions and keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. I take extra care with doors, gates, leashes, and any other safety precautions to make sure your pet stays secure. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in responsible, attentive hands.
Ratings and reviews
Margaret was great! On time and prompt communication as well as updates during and after the walk - would recommend!
Margaret was so helpful and flexible when my schedule changed and took her time to make sure my pup was comfortable with her!
Margaret was great! Highly recommend!
Maggie has been my reliable dog and cat sitter for over eight years now. She started when I got my first Corgi as a puppy and has continued on when I got my second. She has taken long term care of my three cats and two dogs on multiple occasions. I can always trust Maggie to come walk the dogs three times a day, follow all of my instructions, and give all the pets lots of care.
I would highly recommend Maggie D. as a dog sitter! She is very caring, responsible and loves animals! She took care of two of my dogs by walking them, playing with them and feeding them They loved having her around and I felt better knowing that I could leave home and they were being taken great care of.

Schedule
I work full-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests when my schedule allows. Because I work from home, I'm also able to spend more quality time with pets and provide longer walks, extra playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or companionship while you're away, I'm committed to making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for.

- Every pet has their own routine, personality, and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever helps them feel most comfortable. I've cared for pets with special needs and medical conditions, including dogs with cancer, and understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and consistent with their care. If your dog or cat has any medications, special routines, dietary needs, mobility limitations, or little preferences that make them happiest, I'd love to know ahead of time. I'm always happy to follow detailed instructions and give your pet the extra attention they need.
