Pet care experience

Home is where the dog is.🐶 🏡

Hi! My name is Margaret and I am a Veterinary Assistant at a nearby local Vet Clinic. I have worked in the vet-med field for several years now. I live with my husband and we have no children. We live in a gated townhome community on Okaloosa island. Right now I am primarily doing drop-ins, boarding cats, and taking on my regular dog clients. I have a calm, well trained senior dog who gets along with ALL animals, big and small! She respects dogs that prefer to be left alone, but will happily join in playtime with energetic puppies. For me to board your dog at my home they must: ✅ Walk well on a leash ✅get along with other dogs ✅no excessive barking ✅ completely potty trained, and non destructive when left alone. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! 💕

Went above and beyond for our 2 dogs. Tailored visit activities to what the dogs energy levels were. Made sure they were well stocked with food, fresh water, treats, and entertainment throughout the day.

Margaret was great with taking care of my cat while I was out of town and giving him his shots daily. I highly recommend her for help with your fuzzy loved ones.

House Sitting • févr. 01, 2026

Margaret was absolutely phenomenal with our crew! I needed a last minute house sit for our 2 dogs and 2 cats and she exceeded my expectations! She shared updates and pictures several times a day and took excellent care of not only our furry gang but our house as well. It was neat as a pin upon our return and we were greeted by happy, smiling pups. We are so grateful we found Margaret!

Schedule

I work during the daytime (4 day work weeks) and I am off on weekends and major holidays. On weekends, I am either at the gym, birding, or out to dinner with my husband. We tend to stay home if we are boarding dogs that weekend.
