Dog Auntie for Hire!

Pet care experience

I always say my super power is getting dogs and children to bond with me right away! I’ve lived with a dog or had a dog for most of my life! And after my Great Dane passed away in 2020, I have found myself not ready to be a dog mom again. So, I have become the best dog auntie I can be! Whatever your dog(s) need, whether it a quick walk around the block or a long hike, or just some cuddles, I am your person! I am here to spoil your dog just as you would. Also I am allergic to cats (I know sad) so I would prefer to not dog sit with a house full of cats but I am willing to do one cat in the house hold for a short amount of time!

Margaret has been great with our energetic 1.5year old pup! She’s cared for him and walked him since we got him last Christmas & we’ve been so appreciative of having trustworthy help! Thank you Auntie Margaret!

Margaret was wonderful! One of my pups recently had surgery and required quite a bit of medication and extra monitoring and she handled everything so well. She provided lots of updates and photos and was quick to respond. We came home to very happy pups!

Margaret did a great job sitting for Zoey. She made our vacation so much better by knowing how well Zoey was cared for.

Margaret has been amazing! We’ve booked her several times now and she’s been excellent every time - she’s great with our energetic frenchie, provides updates and quick responses and has all around been really easy to work with. Thank you so much, Margaret! We really appreciate it!!

Safety, trust & environment

My Great Dane had separation anxiety, so I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and kind person to watch your fur baby or babies. And I especially know how hard it is to find someone willing to stay at your house for the sake of your dog(s). I get it I have been there! So I am willing to do whatever is best for you and your dog(s).

Information Margaret K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog or dogs have any special needs! I try to be very accommodating to the needs of your furry babies.

A typical day

I love to give as much attention as possible to your dog(s) as they will let me! Playing fetch, long walks, going to the dog park or cuddles and movies!

I am a photographer, who is a busybody type of person, so my genius idea is why not spend my free time with some doggos! Because let’s be honest dogs are better than humans!
