Dog Lover with flexibility!

Pet care experience

🐶I have been around dogs my whole life and truly love them! This all started with me helping my friends out when they needed it. Now with all these referrals, i’ve decided to take my accidental dog sitting business a little more public to see what can come of it. If you need someone to be with your dog for a few hours while you’re at work, need me to dog sit over nights while your away at your place, just a good long walk- I’m your gal! I also am happy to send pics and videos anytime :)

Margaret is the best! She took really good care of my dog, was flexible and easy going. She sent pictures every day while I was gonna which I loved.

If there is one pet caregiver that I go to, it's Margaret. There is no one else I trust with my babies. Literally, there are times when I get jealous because both of my dogs and my cat respond so well to her. When Margaret comes over they are the happiest and feel so comfortable around her too. It can be hard to find someone that really connects with your pets. But for me, Margaret is the best!

Margaret has dog sit for my 12 year old pitbull several times. She does an amazing job -- my dog has a lot of needs and anxiety because of his age and she knows exactly how to make him feel comfortable. She also stays at our house when she watches him and takes care of things around the house. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet caregiver!

My pup Dasher is obsessed with Margaret! When I am leaving to go out of town as soon as he sees Margaret he could care less I'm leaving which is the best feeling. Margaret is just one of those dog people! Dasher is also very, I mean VERY, high energy and anxious, but she handles him great. She takes him to the park to burn his energy and plays fetch until he can't play anymore. Highly recommend Margaret!

Information Margaret J. would like to know about your pet

? Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I should be aware of. I love to know their little patterns as well. Some owners have very specific treats at certain times of day,or have routines they like to instill daily, so would love to know about that.

A typical day

? I love to stimulate your dog mentally and physically! I love going on long walks and sitting outside so we will definitely get out of the home as much as possible. If your dog is good with other dogs- I love going to the dog park and letting them run and burn out some energy!
