Pet care experience

Dog person or cat person? Why not both?! I love animals of all kinds, each with their own personalities and needs. I am a 27 year old with a highly flexible schedule, a passion for animals, and almost 20 years of experience caring for pets. I have experience working with a dog rescue and I'm willing to run, walk, hike, or just chill with your pup. I can also take them to the dog park, if requested. When your dog is with me you can be sure they're happy and, most importantly, safe. Need me to look after more than one pup? No problem. For a small additional fee (per dog) I'll be happy to take the whole gang. Looking for a companion to keep your cat company in your absence? I'd be happy to feed your feline friend and put them at ease until you return! Reliable transportation, non-smoker. I'm available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and even holidays! I look forward to meeting you and your furever friend.

Margaret is great with cats and dogs, she treats my animals like her own which is all I can ask. My cats are VERY particular about their food and habits and Margaret handles them with the upmost patience. My dog loves her and gets excited whenever I say her name. I completely trust her with my pets and would highly recommend her.

Margaret is one of the most passionate people when it comes to taking care of and loving dogs. She currently has one dog named Zaara who is always cared for and loved. Zaara receives the best treatment in all aspects, such as the number of walks, quality of food and most importantly play time and care. The love that Margaret has for Zaara she will also have for your dog.

Maggie is one of the biggest animals lovers I’ve ever met! I’ve seen her with her own animals as well as others and it’s nothing but pure joy for her. She has looked after my own animals (dog and cat) several times and both of them absolutely LOVE her. 100% recommend and trust her.

We are so happy we found Margaret ! She was wonderful with our Hailey, sending a detailed Rover card of everything they did with pics every time. We were so comfortable and had no worries while away, and will definitely be calling any time in the future! John
