Safety, trust & environment

When I care for dogs in their own home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care while I’m there. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality — whether that means extra cuddles, a quiet walk, or a game of fetch. I’m respectful of my clients’ space and make sure everything is left clean and just as I found it.

Information Margaret M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time regarding behaviors or what they like to do best or don’t like to do, and I’ll take that into account when caring for them!

A typical day

Depending on the dog and their activity level, I’d love to play with them however they like best. Whether that’s fetch, or letting them run around the yard or dog park, or even just taking them on a nice walk. If the dog likes to relax and just loves pets, I’m also down for that!

Dog lover with 15yrs experience!

Pet care experience

I’ve been the go-to dog watcher for my family and siblings back home in Illinois for about 15 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, from laid-back seniors to playful family pets. I’m very attentive and make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. I don’t currently have a dog of my own since my partner is allergic, but I love spending time with dogs whenever I can — walks, playtime, or just keeping them company.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Margaret They took care of my cat with so much love, attention, and patience that I felt completely at ease while I was away. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and sweet notes about how my cat was doing—which meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and incredibly responsible to watch your furry family member, Margaret is the one. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

When she is with my two dogs, she treats them as her own and gives them all the loving. Very receptive to detail details about each dog and follow instructions very well. She’d be great for your team
