Safety, trust & environment

I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!

Information Margaret H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any additional needs or preferences I can meet to make them comfortable. I have experience with seniors, puppies, high energy, anxious dogs, and dogs that need a little more caring for and special attention.

A typical day

I love to offer different experiences to pets. Whether it be a beach walk, different scenery, or discovering new scents - I want to make your furry friend think and challenge their minds. A dog with a stimulated brain is a happy dog!

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help!

Margaret has been wonderful in caring for and walking Sadie. She has also gone above and beyond pet caring duties by securing packages while we are away.

Maggie loves and cares for a wide range of animals. She is attentive to their needs both physical and mental. She is sweet, kind, gentle and patient - which makes for a great sitter; especially when animals can become stressed when their preferred humans are away. I highly recommend her services!

Margaret is a true animal-whisperer! As soon as she arrives, she gives my dog “morning affirmations,” which includes cuddling, belly rubs, and talking softly to her before taking her on a walk. When she returns, she cleans my cat’s litter box and gives my cat enrichment time while flicking a catnip toy in front of her. My cat greets Margaret every morning when she arrives and patiently waits for her turn to have attention! Aside from being great with my fur babies, Margaret is not afraid to handle my python so that he doesn’t miss out on his enrichment time either. She is literally the jack-of-all when it comes to animal care! She has the education to back up her animal husbandry expertise, and I can leave my home knowing that she can hold the fort down until I get back home!
