Pet care experience

Lover of all animals big and small!

I am a lover of all animals small and large! I am experienced in cat, dog, leopard gecko, fish and ball python care. I am able to give medications to both cats and dogs. I currently have two cats (Bean and Wren) and two dogs (Joseph and Brandi). The white/tan golden doodle in the photos is Stella, who I have been pet sitting/walking for over 5 years, along with her kitty brothers Yuki and Oliver! I see them about every month for a week. I am looking to walk more doggos and checkin/spend time with kitties. I have a good amount of free time on the weekends! I hope to see your beautiful babies soon. :)

Safety, trust & environment

Everything your babies need will be done and followed. Cats get fresh water every visit with washed water/food bowls/scooped liter and a playtime! Dogs get 30min to 1-hour walks with a cool down period to make sure they don’t get overheated. I usually keep a water dispenser with me on walks for them along with treats. Please let me know if they have any allergies so I can change out the treats accordingly. :)

Margaret thank you for your patience and understanding for Chanel. I've had other people immediately think viscous when she’s under a lot of stress! You’re truly an animal person! Thank you a million times!

Margaret was awesome! She was thoughtful about storms coming into town and came by a little early so everyone had time to do their outside business. Will use her again!

Margaret provided the love and attention I wanted for my fur babied, which was important to me. The times didn’t quite match up to what I requested but my main concern was that they were engaged with and had some play time. I would rebook with Margaret and Trust that she would provide the same care and attention I would.
