Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and live just off the Burke Gillman Trail. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach! I have dog beds and dog accoutrements. I have a quiet and peaceful home.

Information Margaret L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs ahead of time. That way, any necessary accommodations can be assessed and managed properly to assure the most comfortable environment for your pet.

A typical day

I live in an area that is conducive for dogs. I am a stone’s throw away from the Burke-Gilman trail. This trail goes for miles and it has stops on the way to play on the beach. Good exercise, good play, good food, and good rest.

Dog Whisperer

Pet care experience

I am often called a “dog whisperer “ by family and friends. I am sensitive to the wide array of personalities and the wide array of histories that are unique to each one. I am quite comfortable in all situations in caring for a dog and making sure that their needs are met; walking, exercising, relaxing and comfort. I have experience with puppies as well as aged dogs. I have administered medications and provided therapeutic care with ailing dogs. I can bathe and even do some grooming if necessary.

Margaret has great communication and is very responsive. She was able to quickly gain our dog's trust, and he is enjoying his walks with her. Highly recommend.

I have used Margaret Lite for at least 8 years now to sit, walk, care over my vacations-if you have chickens, or cats, she is good with those too. I consider her a pet whisperer. She senses what Z needs --he feels welcome and comfortable. I know he'll get walked (chihuahua mix rescue) and have a good time be cared for and loved. Nice not to have to worry about my little buddy while I'm on vacation. Harriet Stephenson

Margaret is a caring and loving human being. She is intelligent, preceptive and just gets animals. She loves them and accepts their individuality and quirks. She understands the benefits of regular exercise for humans and pets and does it joyfully. She knows each family has their own unique set of rules for their pets and will encourage those rules. I watched her personal journey with her rescue dog, Chica, who just died at the age of 17 years. She experienced the changing needs of an animal from baby to older adult. She will protect your animal with her whole being.
