I moved to the area after my dog Mazy passed away and I started volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter. It gave me experience with all types and sizes of dogs and led me to adopting my sweet dog Winnie. I have lived with dogs most of my life and my cat, Dr Zaldivar, helped me gain experience that would be helpful with cat care too. I have experience training my own dog as a puppy and I also helped her as she was aging and needed special care. I have the patience for puppies with high energy and senior dogs moving at a slow pace.

Bella looked very happy on her walks. We were camping in Watkins Glen fir a few days. So glad we found Margaret to walk Bella while we explored the area.

Margaret did a wonderful job with our big rambunctious collie. She sent photos and updates while I was out of the country and she was punctual for every walk. Highly recommend!!

We are very pleased with the care that our little Johnny received from Margaret M. Johnny is very shy and she seemed to be able to manage him and his nervousness with ease we would definitely use her again

Margaret is responsible and caring. I have seen her take phenomenal care of her own pets as well as interacting with other dogs. I would trust her to care for or walk any of my dogs and to keep them safe and happy!

Throughout my life Margaret has been a wonderful dog owner and caretaker! Whenever she comes over to my house I feel comfortable and confident with her letting my dog out, taking him on walks, feeding him and giving him lots of love and pets! She has watched my dog grow from a puppy to now an old man at ten! I think she would be a great addition to Rover and be able to help pet parents with ease!

I would like to know if your dog is dog reactive, even if it is not aggressive. I’m probably not your person in that case. But if you want help reinforcing any basic training let me know.
