Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified animal lover :)
I am certified as a comfort dog handler through Lutheran Church Charities. I have an animal-assisted therapy certification from Concordia University Wisconsin and have worked with as a handler and helping with training for the dog there for 2 years. I have experience taking care of and walking dogs. Been a dog lover my whole life :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As part of my animal-assisted therapy program, I took 7 courses including handler hours and online/in-person classes. We learned about stress signals in dogs and tons of information about caring for dogs, so I always make sure to look out for any signs of stress and make sure that the dog's needs are always met. I will always make sure that the dogs I watch are well-loved and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Maggie has been so reliable for me and takes great care of my dog. she was even able to accommodate me when my flight was canceled and she needed to stay another night at my house.
Margaret went above and beyond taking care of our two kitties! She was timely, responsive, and left detailed cards making us feel like we were right there home with them. Would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future!
Margaret is great!
Thank you so much. My dogs were so happy to see you! Margaret was, as usual, punctual, friendly and professional.
Margaret was very receptive to our needs and always responded to our questions right away. We had several changes with our dates due to a storm, but she made it easy for us to do so and was available. Everything was left clean and well taken care of, and of course so was our dog!
I booked Margaret at the last minute to watch my cat for the weekend. She was very descriptive in each of her visits to what she encountered, my cat’s behavior, photos. I would highly recommend Margaret!

Schedule
I currently work until about 5 pm, so I can do walks or drop-ins either early mornings or afternoon/evening/nights. I only work weekdays, so I'm free on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnights.
