We had to travel across country for a funeral and couldn’t bring our dog. This was our first time trusting someone to watch her, and boy were we nervous. Margaret did such a fantastic job! We received regular updates and pictures which helped ease my mind that coco was in good hands. She really cared for coco and made her part of her family for the week she watched her, and I couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely be using Margaret again next time we have to travel!

MAGGIE WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !! I truly recommend her as a sitter. She took care of my three dogs all ranging in different sizes and personalities, along with checking in with my foster kitten. Provided GREAT communication and pictures !! She was truly the best sitter I have had and gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my mini vacay. Would 1000% recommend !!!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am now a mom to an infant under age 1, but when I am able, I love to spend a lot of my free time engaging in puppy and kitty play! Pets in my care will get appropriate potty breaks (every 2-4 hours for dogs), and physical exercise (walks or runs) as well as mental stimulation (training practices, toy play) every day. Based on animal needs, feeding will be based on a morning and evening schedule, noon feedings can be arranged. Water will be accessible at all times!

Safety, trust & environment

I always practice safety in creating a warm and comforting environment for your babies. This can mean many things, such as keeping your dog or cat to their designated spaces such as a crate or room if needed, and making sure their space is clean and free of any hazards or danger. I have a large doberman who is very friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, and he is crate trained and neutered, but I always make sure socialization and introduction is handled with care with other animals before booking in my home. I have experience handling and walking dogs of all sizes and abilities. I have experience in a veterinary setting, and have a lot of knowledge on dog behavior and health. I am always a phone call or text away. If booking care in my home, please note that I am a mom to a toddler.

Pets

A typical day

I love to wake up and start the day with some exercise, running, walking, and playing fetch! Practicing obedience is always part of my morning routine for my own dog, and breakfast is given after settling down from all of the morning fun. I love playing games like hide & seek with toys and treats, using a sniffle mat, and lick mats to stimulate them mentally! Nap time is important after exercising their bodies and brains, so I love setting up cozy places to settle in and dream with some calming music on until their energy is back to play more!
