Runner, professional dog experience

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a working professional with a flexible schedule and marathon runner who absolutely loves dogs. I have had dogs since I was two years old and have owned eight dogs- seven Boxers and a Bouvier des Flanders. I obtained professional experience caring for and walking dogs while working as a dog daycare attendant. While working at the dog daycare I cared for and walked dogs of all shapes and sizes, from a mini Yorkshire Terrier to a Great Dane. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I am attentive, punctual, and reliable. I love to run with energetic dogs, play with puppies, exercise and care for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, or dog/house sit. I work from home, so I could let dogs out for potty breaks whenever needed. I will also be able to take a lunchtime walk with them if needed. I take dogs out for three leashed walks- morning, lunchtime, and evening, and then mid day potty breaks as needed. I have a car so I could take them to walk on trails in the woods as well. Depending on their energy, they could also come running with me in the morning (weather dependent).

Thank you Margaret, for another stay!! Highly recommend Margaret as a sitter, will continue requesting stays for my beautiful boy since he is so relaxed when gets gets home, and Margaret pays close attention to details on his drug schedules. She’s the best.

Margaret is an amazing person and a super flexible doggie nanny. My boy is very comfortable with her, and you can tell why - she's such a kind soul. Thanks Margaret, you're amazing.

Margaret was an amazing and thoughtful dog sitter for our dog! Our dog is a rescue and was experiencing a lot of anxiety being away from home overnight, and Margaret went above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable during her stay. Our dog also has a lot of energy, so she took her for runs and hikes all throughout the stay. She sent updates and cute pictures of them on adventures each day we were away, and we loved that! We were so relieved to know our dog was in great hands.

Margaret was amazing! My apartment lost power while she was walking my dog Sasha. She reached out and offered to wait with Sasha until the power came back on. That behavior is so above and beyond what I typically expect from a drop-in visitor. Highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again.

Information Margaret H. would like to know about your pet

The dog's breed, daily routine/schedule, any medications ( including dosage, and time taken), favorite toy, favorite treat, how they feel about strange dogs and humans, their walking schedule, and any other quirks I should know about to make their experience as comfortable and fun as possible.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs at their pace and level. If they enjoy playing with tennis balls, we can play fetch outside with an extra long leash, or play with their favorite stuffed toys. I am also happy to hang out on the couch with a good book if they are low energy.
