Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Margaret was very attentive and asked all the questions about our Nipper. She showed a lot of patience and affection for him. She sent me several updates and photos throughout the day. I highly recommend her.

Margaret has a real gift with dogs. She's gentle, patient, and deeply attentive, especially with seniors. We cared for an elderly dog together for years, and I saw firsthand the care and composure she brings to even the most challenging moments. She’s great with all kinds of dogs and truly enjoys being around them. Any dog in her care is in the best hands.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a high-rise building with an elevator so the dog will be safe and secure at my home. I am a very attentive dogsitter and will ensure they are in a safe and calm environment. If I take care of your pet in your home, then you will return to a happy and well-taken care of pup. I like to send regular updates and will let you know if there are any issues that come up. Sometimes pets behave a bit differently when their owners are gone, and I’m very patient and good at respecting their limits if they are shy or nervous.
A typical day
I live near Dows Lake/Arboretum so we can go on long nature walks. I also am into canine enrichment so we can play games to keep your pup’s brain stimulated and body fit.

- Let me know if your dog has any issues with kids or other dogs as my building has both as well as an elevator. My neighbourhood can be a bit busy and noisy at times with cars, people, and bikes so keep that in mind if your dog is fearful or has sensitive hearing. Also let me know any food issues, preferences, and triggers. I’m happy to accommodate!
