Information Margaret N. would like to know about your pet

I’m really excited to take care of your lovely pets! To make sure they have the best (and safest) time while you’re away, please let me know if they have any special needs, quirks, or medical requirements I should be aware of.

A typical day

I’m a big believer in keeping dogs young and healthy through daily activity, and love walking them. A typical day with me looks like multiple long walks and snuggles. I’d be happy to take pups for longer hikes on the weekend if desired.

Reliable. Fun. Caring.

Pet care experience

I had my two spunky Rhodesian ridgebacks for nine years and loved every minute of hiking, cross country adventures, and snuggles. Love caring for dogs and keeping them healthy through exercise!

Margaret is a fantastic pet sitter - from end to end, she’s thoughtful in how she understood Georgias demeanor and needs, she is a wonderful communicator, checking in ahead and throughout the trip! We are so lucky to have found her!

Margaret was a fantastic House sitter for our family! She took great care of our Dog Rocky, and was so communicative and respectful. We will be happy to have Margaret's support for our future needs!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter for Huckleberry. From the moment we left, she was communicative, responsive, and gave us complete peace of mind. She clearly developed a real bond with Huck, and it showed. He absolutely adored her. She walked him three times a day, gave him plenty of attention, and even surprised him with a thoughtful birthday gift that he now proudly carries around everywhere. She also went above and beyond with a few last-minute requests, like watering our vegetable garden, and left our home in absolutely perfect condition. Huck is an easygoing dog, so there weren’t any behavioral issues or special challenges, but what stood out was the genuine care and affection she showed him. It’s obvious she loves animals, and they love her back. We recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and who will care for your pet like they’re her own, she’s the one.
