Information Margaret F. would like to know about your pet

Tell me all that you want me to know about your dog and I will accommodate best I can to make them feel comfortable. This can be a home away from home. Visitors must be kid and dog friendly.

A typical day

Mostly walks around the neighborhood. Some jogging and or ball throwing is fine too. My dog likes to sunbath on the deck. I am flexible with entertaining and can even bring your dog to a park.

Pet care experience

I have cared for/ owned 6 dogs, 3 cats, 1 bird,1 gerbil, 1 hamster, 1 hermit crab, and 3 fish in my lifetime. My dog now is a 14 year old Boston Terrier and she is my bestie. Her walks are short now so I have plenty of time for longer walks with your dog. I have never met a dog that wasn't comfortable around me. When first meeting a dog, I think it is important for the interaction to go at their pace and for the dog to be comfortable. My dog is part of the family and comes with us to Sunday dinners at Moms, vacations and hikes. She is getting older though and the excursions are mostly limits to Sunday dinners and walks around the neighborhood.

Margaret and her son went above and beyond to take care of our dog. Our dog is hesitant in new places and did everything they could to make her feel comfortable. She came out very happy!
