Pet care experience

reliable and caring pet sitter

Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do.

I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.

Margaret was easy to work with and did just as asked in coming to check on our cat and take care of food, water, and litter box. I recommend Margaret!

Margaret was so professional and kind and made me and my husband feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. We are anxious dog parents and like updates on our girl and she sent pictures frequently and kept us updated on everything. I would HIGHLY recommend, we will definitely use her again!

Cooper loves Margaret very much and this is our 2nd time having her watch him. We always know he is in excellent hands and will definitely be using Margaret again in the future. Great communication and sends daily photos.

This was our first time using Margaret and we will definitely use her again. We setup a meet and greet, she was on time and Cooper immediately fell in love. Throughout the house sitting we received photos and status updates and she was very responsive if we had any questions. House was left in order and made sure Cooper was comfortable while we were away. We both recommend Margaret and will book her again in the future!
