Ready for tail waggin’ fun!
Pet care experience
Hi! Dog lover and owner for 34 years. I love to run or walk at whatever speed is most comfortable for your beloved pooch. Looking forward to help you meet their exercise needs and give you peace of mind your fur baby is in caring and responsible hands! I’m big on open communication and any questions or instructions you have for me please let me know! 🙂🐾
Reviews
Was going to book Maggie again after she took good care of my pets last year. Not sure why she didnt return any of my emails or texts after she initially replied to me that she was checking her calendar for availabilty. She also still has my house key. No longer recommended.
Leaving my 2 dogs for 5 days was a big concern for my family as we've never left them under someone else's care. After reading Maggie's profile and reviews, we decided to meet her. I knew within minutes that she was the perfect match for my pups. From the beginning, Maggie asked all the right questions for each dog from food habits and preferences, toy and play preferences, allergies, shots, temperment, and where in the kitchen we kept their treats! She came to my home 3x a day to feed them, take them out to do their business, run around and play with them, take pictures of them, but most importantly--she showed them love when my family was away. We couldn't have asked for more. Her visit reports were very detailed and always included fun pictures to let us know that our babies were having a great time with their new friend. That peace of mind was most important to us. I will undoubtedly call Maggie to take care of my pups again. Highly recommended.
Maggie is a treasure and treated my dog with the same level of care and love that we do when she watched her for the week. I have never had a level of comfort like this before and I would give her a 10 star review if I could! We received daily updates and pictures from her and the communication she provided gave us all such a high level of confidence in her service. We came home to a very happy dog who I'm sure is missing her visits from Maggie this week!
It’s so easy to tell Margaret loves animals! She’s amazing with my puppy Dante and does a wonderful job making sure he and I are at peace. I will most definitely continue to book her.
About Margaret P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Before going to a clients home, even just for a walk I will read the profile notes. Then will confirm with pet parent and ask about any specific quirks their pet has, do I need to meet in the backyard, not ring the bell, be prepared for jumping, etc… I prefer to gather a full scope of my new fur friend to many he/she the most as ease while with me.
Information Margaret P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special preferences with toys, treats, or certain walking routes they enjoy/have least amount of trigger to help keep them happy and stress free. Please let me know if your pup pulls, jumps up, has commands, or has bowel issues. I am ok with it all; I just need to be prepared to respond appropriately to each differ dog’s situation and to stay in line with whatever you are teaching him/her to minimize their confusion. :)
A typical day
I can roll a ball back and forth if inside, I have had many dogs like to chase a soccer ball when kicked, I love to run myself and can run along side them while out in the neighborhood. I like the walk away from Main roads whenever possible.
