LOTS OF TLC - Just Like Home!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Margaret. I realize some dogs are more comfortable in their own environment; others love visiting new places. I am willing to spoil and pamper your dog in your home or mine. I work from home so I can play with and walk your dog frequently and, if travel sitting, can visit your furry friends several times throughout the day, providing all of the care and attention they may need. I love dogs and understand their unique personalities. My own dogs sometimes just wanted to stay home too, so I will do my best to make your pet comfortable while you are away. I enjoy taking walks to explore new neighborhoods and would love to have your dog show me his/her favorite spots on walks. Although I do not spend the night on travel sitting, I will be able to provide your pet(s) with the care and attention he/she deserves , including coming over for late night potty breaks or early morning tinkles. The price listed is for a day (24 hour period) of care in my home for a dog weighing up to 30 pounds. Pet care in your home is $5 more per 24 hour period. I also do pet daycare and offer dog walking services. Whatever your pet's needs, I can help! Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my pet care services have been approved! I am trained in pet First Aid and CPR, as well as care of special need and senior dogs.

Information Margaret J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about his/her schedule, his/her ability to get along with other animals, and how much exercise he/she needs. Basically, anything you would like to discuss so that I can provide the best care possible for your four-legged family member..

A typical day

Your dog will sleep in our home as our house guest. We can discuss the best way to make him/her feel right at home, and feel free to bring along his/her favorite bed, blanket or toy so he/she gets a good night’s sleep. We will walk in my neighborhood and play in our secure backyard. I am home full time so I can spend lots of time with your dogs while they are here. I have been trained in pet First Aid and CPR, as well as care of special need and senior dogs. Does Your Pet Prefer Home? Multiple daily visits to feed, water, walk and play with your dog in his/her own home. Late night potty trips or early morning tinkles are no problem. So if your pal is more comfortable in his/her own environment, give me a call and I'll be happy to take care of your furry family member. I am happy to take care of cats in your home too!
