Availability

Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I have a very flexible work schedule and am only committed from 11 AM–2 PM Monday through Thursday, and I can often adjust my schedule to be available during those hours if needed. Outside of that, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and other pet care needs. I am fully available Friday through Sunday, allowing me to provide flexible scheduling, extended care, and overnight services when needed. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my daily routine.

About Margaret M.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I work to keep things as familiar as possible. I follow your pet’s regular schedule—feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications—so they feel secure while you’re away. I respect your space, keep things clean, and always leave everything just as I found it (or better!). Your pet gets my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

Information Margaret M. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their daily routine, temperament, energy level, and any special needs or medical conditions. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other animals and people, any fears or triggers they may have, and their favorite activities, treats, and comfort items. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the easier it is for me to provide a safe, stress-free experience and keep their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day is tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. For dogs, that may include walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and as much interaction (or independence!) as they prefer. I love keeping pets engaged with activities like walks, fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, training reinforcement, and outdoor play when appropriate. For cats, I enjoy interactive toys, laser play, wand toys, and plenty of cuddle time for those who enjoy it. Most importantly, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and animals of all shapes and sizes. Caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently have two cats of my own and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide attentive, reliable care. I have flexible working hours and am available for a variety of services, including drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and pet care tailored to your pet’s needs. I look forward to treating your pets like they’re my own!

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Margaret is the perfect choice. She’s trustworthy and caring. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or simply keeping a pet company, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy and cared for. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her looking after their animal family members.

Margaret is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. She is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. She grew up around animals and has experience with pets of all sizes and personalities. Any pet in her care will be well loved, safe, and treated like family. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker.
