Information Margaret M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know their feeding, walking and medicine schedule or any likes/dislikes. Please let me know if your dog has accidents in the house, tears stuff up, or is aggressive to other dogs.

A typical day

I typically walk the dogs on the boardwalk beside my house, around my townhouse community, or down the nearby neighborhood sidewalks. It’s a pretty walkable community if they are comfortable walking near other dogs.

Pet care experience

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! 💕

Margaret did such a wonderful job watching our cat, Sesame! There were always updates and pictures, and we felt our pet was well taken care of while we were out of town! Happy to have found someone like Margaret!
