Pet care experience
Available for Park Slope Area Hi everyone! Recent grad from Pratt Institute continuing to offer dog walking and sitting. I’m in Park Slope so I prefer to serve the nearby areas. My family has had a dog for the past 16 years. We've had 3 Keeshonds. So, I really familiar with medium, furry, social dogs. I love exploring with the dogs, making sure they have a good time and if are not always going on the same route. I will not rush your dog. I treat your dog like part of the family or a friend. I'm sure your dog will look forward for their walk. I'm very attentive, like nature and try to stay away from noisy main streets as some dogs are startled by lots of traffic, and people. I am fine with young puppies who have not been completely trained yet. However, I have a limited amount of training experience. I will make sure your dog has food, water and is relaxed when the walk is over.
Reviews
She’s so knowledgeable about dogs, and so patient and calm. Definitely a wonderful sitter for your pup!
Appreciate Margaret’s reliability and creativity when the pooches need a little extra convincing before going out!
Always easy to reach and reliable!!
Margaret did a great job watching our puppy Harper on New Years Eve!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure the dogs are happy. I make sure there’s plenty of fresh water, food, not too many treats, play with their favorite toys. Personally, I don’t like dogs staying home all day by themselves. So, if sitting a dog, I try to walk them and then stay with them for at least an hour at a time.
Information Margaret G. would like to know about your pet
I prefer small to medium dogs. Do they have a certain routine? Do they experience separation anxiety? Are they housetrained? Are they used to the building/neighborhood/city and a new persom walking them.
A typical day
I will go to any park nearby! Run around. I like to figure out each dog’s personality and routine. Dogs usually tell me if the sidewalk is too hot, not enough trees, (if they like busy food streets - so I can avoid) if they’re used to playing fetch, or if they don’t like stairs or going a certain route.

Availability
I’m offering full-time dog walking and sitting. I prefer weekdays but am available for weekends and holidays as well! I’m also selling interesting finds in the neighborhood so I walk dogs in between selling and collecting. I’m generally in the neighborhood.
