...and God gave us Dogs!!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs growing up but my most treasured time was my 14yrs raising my Shih Tzu, Alex. He was my little boy! My love! Alex was very well behaved but I also knew when to remove him from situations where he would not have reacted kindly or that frighten him. A church friend saw my love for Alex and caring for him when he was sick, she now has only me caring for her Bichon, Lily, when she is out of town. My boyfriend and I love dogs. We also keep a Labradoodle, Australian Shepherd and a rescue dog that is more like a Shepherd. I am able to make a good assessment when a dog needs medical attention, care for them after a procedure, as well as, administer medication. Pet setting is a way for me to interact with people's most precious family member!!

Margaret was great. She came by a couple of times before we left to meet the animals and review all the info regarding feeding and meds. She sent me posts and pictures letting us know how things were going. I would definitely use her again.

Margaret did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 Yorkies. She followed all my instructions without incident and when caring for 3 dogs and a large home with a pool that’s not always easy especially for the first time. She had to take one of the dogs to the vet and did so again without any problems. Best of all she was very kind and loving towards our girls as we call them. Margaret took the time to send us pictures of them along with their daily updates, which of course we loved and appreciated. Truly, I can’t think of one negative thing to say about our experience with her. Everything from setting up the 1st meet and greet, until returning home went very smoothly because of her attention to detail and love for animals. We’ll definitely ask her to care for our girls again.

Margaret is an excellent, conscientious, and loving caretaker for our furbabies. We have two pugs and one is a senior who needs a little more TLC. We so appreciate her taking care of them in our home.

We really appreciated Margaret's staying at our house during an 11 day trip. She sent us updates and pics to reassure us. She bailed us out when our other sitter cancelled at the last minute, came by for orientation on medications and procedures, and was so reassuring that we felt very comfortable leaving our babies in her care. She left the house and yard cleaner than we did! She was great, really good with the dogs right away, even our German Shepherd. She worked nearby and came by at lunch, so our older dog didn't have to go all day without going out. We will definitely use her again!

Information Margaret O. would like to know about your pet

No preferences. I must know what the owner expects of the dog so that I do not vary from the routine. Like to know all "watch out" for, feedings, are they currently eating well or not, any meds, must they stay on a leash, will they run off if not, how long can they be home alone and are they crated or not? I want to know all about the dog! Safety for all!

A typical day

Each dog is different.....some love to play outside with balls, frisbees, in water, run and positive praise. Then there are ones that like to just snuggle up and be close...most like both, activity and snuggling. Walks will be based on the dog's ability and neighborhood that is OK by the owner. If dogs like a dog park, its possible to go for a visit.
