Pet care experience

Loving animals is in my blood!

I grew up with my father’s veterinary practice attached to, and in our home. He was a 24/7 provider, with sometimes the whole family involved when needed. Oh the stories I can tell! As an adult, I’ve continued to care for and adopt needy dogs and cats. I’m now retiring from my career as a business analyst, and what better way to spend some time than with dogs or cats, coming full circle.

House Sitting • Aug 04, 2024

Margaret was an excellent pet sitter. She was very accommodating with our varied schedule during an out of town trip. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants a person who really cares about animals and their owners.

If anyone was ever ready to represent Rover, it's Peggy Magness. As the daughter of a veterinarian, she was not only born into the world of our four legged family members, she also spent many years working with her father taking care of them. And, dogs and cats have always been very spoiled members of her family. She has also dedicated many years working with Dachshund Rescue which further demonstrates her love of animals and her desire to see them well cared for. Your clients will love Peggy.

Hi! I'm Peggy's daughter. I can attest 100% that Peggy is the BEST. She is actually MY go-to dog walker and sitter. My golden retriever Finn loves her and there's no other person I'd rather him with when we're away or need someone to be with him. She grew up in the home of a veterinarian so her heart and soul are really best for animals. Although she's a wonderful, kind, caring, patient, and loving human being too :) She speaks every animal language whether it's dog, cat, bird, horse, or cow. Or raccoon. We were the home growing up that everyone brought stray animals to or roadside finds that needed help. She has just retired and has too much energy to sit home so her first inclination of course was to spend time with animals and is putting herself out there to her local community. If you need someone to walk or care for your best furry friend-- Peggy is your gal. She is the perfect dog walker, cat sitter/feeder, etc.

It is with great pride that I submit this reference as to the character and kindnesses on the behalf of Margaret “Peggy” Magness. I have known Peggy Magness for well over 60 years. She is a kind, caring and responsible person to all things living. She is a good person from the inside out, has a heart of gold and a deep appreciation of animals. Peggy has a vast experience with all kinds of animals (horses, dogs, cats, birds, guineapigs and more) from her past working with her Veterinarian Father attending to the sick and injured, nurturing the weak and showing love to them all. Peggy has shared her home with countless homeless strays- many battered, beaten, starving, and abused. So many animals have found their way to her over the years. They are the lucky ones. I would not hesitate to have Peggy care for my furry family members in my absence. They would be given fine care and more. Sincerely, Susan M.

Are there special needs? I have lots of experience with all types of issues, having worked with my veterinarian father since I was a young girl.
