Reviews
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!
About Margaret R.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Margaret R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any additional needs that your dog has so that I can be prepared! Also let me know how your dog interacts with other dogs, since I love bringing dogs to the dog park to play! Any information that you think is important for me to know!
A typical day
I love to bring dogs to the dog park or take them on a walk! I also love playing with the dogs throughout the day and allowing them to go outside when possible!
Services
Margaret can watch in your home
Availability
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.
