Pet care experience
Thoughtful care for happy dogs
I’m an experienced, attentive dog lover who provides calm, thoughtful care for friendly, easygoing pups. I’m happiest with dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs and enjoy a little play, exercise, and affection. I want every stay to feel easy and enjoyable—for your dog and for me!

Ratings and reviews
Margaret is great! Super warm and welcoming, and my dog loved being over at her place! Her pup is also sweet :)
Margaret was great at keeping me updated. Lenny was a fun companion for my dog. Would love to have my dog stay with them again.
Moxie LOVES stay at Maggie’s place and playing with Lenny. She couldn’t stop raving about it all the way home. :-). Thank you for taking such good care of her and providing a wonderful environment.
Maggie was amazing with Moxie and made her feel happy and welcomed. Moxie enjoyed playing all day with Maggie’s dog who is very friendly. The big yard with lots of shade and doggie pool was a nice bonus. Moxie was tired out after this exciting outing—yay, woof.
Maggie was wonderful with my senior Golden Retriever, who required oral medication! I'm so relieved to have found her, and am so happy not to have to worry about my baby girl during my next trip.
Maggie is fantastic! Our dog Grady has stayed with her twice now and it is clear that she treats him as her own. He gets more than enough attention, love, and exercise (and we get lots of photo updates). We will certainly ask her to watch Grady again in the future.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I do at least two outings every day - one dog walk or trip to the dog park in the morning, and same in the evening. We usually feed on that schedule too.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard with a dog door for ease of access in and out of the house. All dogs are free to roam around the house and backyard. I am gone for 2-8 hours at a time, but otherwise around to take care of them.
Pets
A typical day
I live one block away from the Berkeley dog park and Berkeley Lake Park. Lenny and I go out for a morning walk every day around the lake or the neighborhood. Lenny is very friendly and loves having other dogs around.

- Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to know a little about their personality and behavior—especially how they do with other dogs and people, and whether they’ll be a good fit with Lenny. Please also share how well they respond to basic commands and how they typically behave both inside and outside the home. Honest information helps me make sure it’s a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable stay for everyone!
