Highlights
Pet care experience
A walk a day keeps the vet away
I have been a pet owner since birth. Growing up in my household we were surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and many rodents and amphibians.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Margaret has been great with my 2 dogs and cats. She takes great care of them!
Our dog, who can be pretty grumpy, has come to love his visits from Margaret!
Margaret took very good care of Ranger—he came home very happy. She was a delight to work with, quick to respond, very flexible and helpful. We got lots of great snapshots throughout his visit. I will definitely contact her the next time we need to board Ranger.
Truly our dogs best friend. They absolutely love her and can't wait for her to visit each time!
The pets were happy and I felt confident that they were given TLC.
Margaret is extremely conscientious and dedicated. She did say thorough call to understand my dog's behaviors and needs. Since Carly is a dog-reactive rescue with a traumatic history, and we have been working with a trainer, I am always reluctant to have someone new walking her. It's hard to be sure they will reinforce her training and ensure a calm walk, even if they encounter other dogs. Margaret made sure to understand and use the same equipment and commands and techniques we are using to give Carly the exercise she needed while my partner and I were sick. I would have no qualms having her house-sit and stay with Carly. I know she is trustworthy and genuinely cares about the animals she spends time with. I would highly recommend her for anyone, especially those who are nervous about their dogs with others. Carly is friendly and loves all people, and she has a little separation anxiety and more than a little territoriality around other dogs. And yet Margaret handled her expertly and lovingly, gaining both her trust and mine. She even suggested ways to help training progress with fewer treats and more praise as Carly improves her threshold around other dogs. Margaret not only came through on short notice, but she instantly built a relationship with both us and our dog which means she will be my go-to walker and sitter from now on.

Schedule
In the morning I must feed and change the water for my cat as well as birds. We begin with making my cat do a trick and then she gets fed.

A typical day
I’m a sucker for early morning walks. Being able to be in the crisp air is such a blessing. We may go to a soccer field or a hidden forest. Playing fetch and tug-of-war are must haves.
