Looking forward to meeting your pet

I’ve had dogs almost all my life. Along the way, I’ve had cats, fish, and horses and sat for birds—including chickens. During my time as a licensed massage therapist, I even studied and performed canine massage.

Safety, trust & environment

Our pets need more than just food and water. I’m experienced with both high and low energy pets. I’m happy to play ball or give all the head scratches and tummy rubs your babies need.

We found Margaret here and immediately felt a good connection with her. At our first meeting, we could tell she would be a great fit watching over our fur kids and home while we’re away. She takes extensive notes on their care instructions, asked questions that I hadn’t thought of. This week, while we were away, she sent us numerous pics of the fur kids. They seemed quite content and happy in our absence. We will definitely utilize Margaret’s services again when we travel, and most certainly recommend Margaret to our friends and family! Thanks again, Margaret!

Margaret H. took loving care of our dog Chica in our home for 12 days. We came back from our trip to be greeted by a very happy dog. We are grateful that Margret is a very caring and honest woman. As soon as I met her I felt at ease to allow her to stay in our home and take care of our pet . Margaret not only sent pictures of our pet but she also brushed Chica’s dense curly fur and cleaned her ears for us. We highly recommend Margaret .

I highly recommend Margaret. She is professional and trustworthy. She took great care of our dog Lucy while we were away and kept me updated on a regular basis. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to have Margaret pet or house sit for us. You and your pet won't be disappointed if you choose to hire Margaret.

Margaret has watched my dog Lily several times. She has severe anxiety and a heart condition. She doesn’t trust many people but she LOVES Margaret. She is the only person I feel safe watching her.
