Want You To Feel Comfortable!

I am a lifelong animal lover, and have over 10 years experience in petsitting! Every single animal I’ve gotten to know leaves a lasting impression on me. I have had dogs my entire life, and have been through every stage of life with them. As well as the extra care that comes with them — whether it be medicine, extra potty breaks, feeding routines, messes, or whatever they need. I know how important it is to show love and attention to our pets from puppy to senior. I carry that love and responsibility with me to new pets I meet and care for! I understand what a privilege it is to be trusted with them, and it’s something I really take to heart that clients have trusted me to do. Our “pets” are our family! My priority is making sure you and them feel comfortable and safe during the time I get to spend with them. Every pet has their own quirks and routines, and learning those things are one of the things I enjoy most about doing this. I have two dogs, Koda and Kavik! My sister takes over while I am away. They both have plenty of quirks, but it makes them who they are and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve spent time from a few days to a month with dogs and cats, ranging from a single pet to four of each! All different types, sizes, and ages. Each and every one of them were a pleasure and I appreciate the trust that comes with having someone look after them and stay in your home! Please reach out for any further details or questions! I’m happy to answer and want to make sure you are comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a safe and clean environment for your pets to roam or crate them if needed. I have experience administering medication and taking care of dogs and cats that need special attention and care. I like to take detailed notes and pictures on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of to make sure I’m taking care of them and on top of your pets needs.

Dog Walking • Feb 01, 2026

Meg was great! She stepped up last minute to walk my dog in the cold and I couldn’t recommend her more. My dog was instantly comfortable with her when we did our meetup, and she made me feel at ease with pictures, videos, and updates of him after each walk. She was also very thoughtful and brought over salt to sprinkle on my property after the big storm without even being asked. She went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go away. Thanks again Meg!

We have used Margaret to take care of our 2 dogs (and whatever foster dog we may have at that time!) for over 13 years! She is smart, responsible, trustworthy and very loving with our dogs. Our dogs love her! We trust Margaret to stay in our home with our dogs while we are away, knowing our dogs are in good, loving, and caring hands! We recommend her highly!

Margaret is one of the most caring dog sitters we have used. She put my mind at ease when we had to leave our dogs for vacation. She is caring and attentive and followed every instruction to the letter.

Let me know what medications your pets need and what times! I like to keep your pets on your schedule, so anything you’d like me to know about their day to day life. I really like knowing the personalities of pets as well! Whether they are shy, excitable, or how I can win them over! We can schedule a time before to go over whatever you need.
