Pet care experience

Dog lover!

I’ve lived with dogs my whole life! Grew up with two spaniels, started fostering pits and other large breeds during the pandemic and have spent tons of time caring for other pets in my life - family, friends and even new neighbors all have been able to rely on me to care for their dogs. I can drive to your home if there’s parking nearby, or I can also walk/bike if you’re near West Rox!

Margaret came through clutch again when we had another sitter cancel a few days before a weekend trip. And she did so much with our pup over the course of the weekend too! It looked like our lab, Nando, had a great time! Thanks again, Margaret!

Margaret did an amazing job taking care of our pup, Lucy! Margaret hosted an overnight for Lucy at her home, and Lucy had a blast. Margaret was very communicative which we really appreciated since this was Lucy’s first night with a non-family member. She was also willing to do this over the Thanksgiving holiday too. Thank you again for everything, Margaret!

Schedule

I can be available for daytime walks on Mondays and Fridays, but T/W/Th I work in an office and am home after 5:30. However that schedule can be flexible, so always ask!! I’m also usually around on weekends. Will do my best to keep this calendar updated! My prices are flexible to fit your pets needs and your budget! If your cats just need a quick meal and litter scoop, let me know! Or if your dog prefers 15 min walks, we can adjust! Just send me a chat and we’ll figure it out. 🙂

Safety, trust & environment

At your home I will follow all rules or restrictions that your pet is accustomed to. I’ll be very respectful of your personal space and clean up after myself and the pet if I spend extended time there. I am also happy to wear a mask full time indoors if you prefer (I am fully vaccinated and boosted). In our home I will follow the same instructions your pet is accustomed to. If you prefer they don’t join me on the couch, I’ll respect that! Otherwise they will have free range to explore my home, sleep on my bed and frolic in my yard ☺️

A typical day

I will follow your pets lead for activities they’re interested in. I love enrichment and can easily DIY a game or puzzle, I can take them on long/slow walks where there’s plenty of smells, or I can sit on the couch and cuddle. Our neighborhood has plenty of quiet streets so I love walking around the nearby blocks, or taking longer adventures to Stony Brook Reservation, Jamaica Pond or anywhere else we can walk to!

Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions so I can research the best way to care for them! I am excellent at hiding pills in cheese, bandaging injuries and even carrying dogs when needed.
