Experienced Professional Pet Lover

Pet care experience

If you are searching for a experienced, professional, reliable, trustworthy animal caretaker look no further. Available part-time (schedule varies every other week) Available every other weekend. Can not provide mid-day visits every day. Military Base access I have over 18 years of pet care and veterinary technician experience. I spent 9 years in the Army as an Animal Care Specialist. I have worked at Emergency and Speciality animal hospitals so I know and understand basic animal health care and emergency situations. I have done pet sitting and house sitting for the past 18 years. I truly enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs, cats, and horses. I love taking them for walks, playing fetch, or just giving cuddles. I have experience with many different animals, so no animal is off the table including livestock. I have experience with both large and small animals, from rats to horses. I also have experience working and caring for Military Working Dogs, so I am comfortable with dogs with "aggressive" and/ or dominate personalities. I am confident in working with all different types of behaviors and will adjust my approach according to your pet’s needs. As for pet sitting, every animal is treated as one of my own. Your animal will receive love, compassion, and understanding. I love learning each animal's personality. When the owners are gone pets can become stressed and anxious. I will do my very best to earn their trust, and ensure they are as comfortable as they can be while their family is away. Your pets’ safety is my top priority. I take my job very seriously and will do everything in my power to keep your pet safe, happy, and healthy. As a veterinary technician I performed many complicated procedures, so if your pet has a complicated medication/feeding regimen, needs injections, or has certain medical conditions, know that I am confident in performing those duties and will pay the utmost attention to detail. I keep all my pet parents informed of everything that happens, if your animal is sick or limping you will know the minute I know. I will conduct a basic physical exam, and report my findings, and possible suggestions. I will let you know if I believe the pet needs to see a veterinarian as soon as possible, or the matter can wait. I can and will take your pet to the veterinary clinic/hospital no matter the time, if there is as emergency. Feel free to contact me with any further questions or if you would like to set up a meet and greet.

Margaret was awesome! I think she was a great introduction to the whole Rover app/system. During our meet & greet, she answered any and all questions I had. She's very communicative, and always sends pics during her visits. 10/10, will use her again!

Margaret was great. Friendly, detail oriented, and I was kept up to date on everything going on with my two pups. I was able to book her the same day which is unheard of. I’ll definitely be using her as my new go to.

Margret is excellent with our puppies. She is always on time, compassionate and keeps us informed of her observations when it comes to their overall health. We love her and would highly recommend her. Connie & Shawn

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer care in my home for many reasons. I go to each clients home to care for their pets. I will provide all requested services to the best of my ability. I cater to the clients and pets needs.

Information Margaret H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know everything about your dog including temperament, any aggression, likes, dislikes, favorite places. I do not have breed preferences or restrictions. I would like to know about any health issues. For house sitting I would prefer the pets be on flea prevention, to protect my other clients' pets from any flea infestations.

A typical day

We will go on walks around the owners neighborhood or nearby parks. I enjoy the Cape Fear River Trail, Clark Park, and Carvers Creek. We will play ball and fetch. They will also receive lots of love and snuggles.
