Information Margaret H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs or requirements your pet has to ensure they receive the highest quality of care and love! Whether that’s medication or a special need or if they just have quirks or preferences that I should be mindful of. I’m happy to accommodate you and your pets needs.

A typical day

I love to walk dogs, play games with them or do training and get them outside time as much as they need and give them all the love and attention they need. For cats, I like to engage them in activities and give them love and attention or take care of any special requirements they may have.

Hello Pup Parents!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was a young child. I grew up around multiple dogs, I’ve been a dog walker independently for three years and I raised my own dog Roscoe who was deaf from the time he was a puppy to almost his 10th birthday until he recently crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge. My family lived outside of the city growing up and have dedicated their lives to rescuing dogs from shelters. When I visit them I aid in caring for and training up to ten rescues with feeding, training and walks, who’re living their best lives with multi acres to run and play in everyday I can’t wait to meet you and your precious pup or cat and care for them while you are away. I am available to walk dogs and or do drop ins during the week or care for them on weekends. I would be able to visit dogs or stay with them and take them out in the morning, feed them, ensure they get out on their walk schedule and play schedule, get them food or medication and prepare them for bed as needed. I would love to get to know your precious pet and build a trusting relationship. I’d love to learn more about how you train and care for your pet including how when they get walks , eat, when they need to be taken out for potty breaks and whether they need any medication. I am happy to follow your care guidelines. I have over thirteen years of taking care of children and a lifetime of caring for dogs and understand that safety always comes first ! For dogs, after safety I like to focus on showering pups with attention (as long as it is welcomed) and having fun.

Margaret has watched our older but high-energy Catahoula, Tully, twice now, and both times have been absolutely outstanding! She's been extremely communicative, sends us wonderful pictures, and took Tully on some absolutely amazing adventure walks that she absolutely loved. We absolutely recommend Margaret as she will treat your pup with an immense amount of affection and respect. She's great!
