Dog Loving Wilderness Woman ;)

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a dog lover with a lot of experience loving dogs. I was raised with a beautiful Springer Spaniel and spent extensive time playing with her and with friends’ dogs and neighborhood dogs! Friends have actually proposed that I was a golden retriever in a previous life. I don’t know about that, but maybe! When I moved from Wisconsin to Montana for college, I was removed from my dog-immersed world and just could not support a dog on my own, so I had to start up Margaret’s Dog Care Co.! I have house sat and pet sat for a diverse group of dogs. I can handle and provide love for the most anxious and the oldest of pups! I recently acted as a sort of midwife/doula for a 11 month old Great Pyrenees/Pit Bull mix. She successfully gave birth to 11 healthy babies! It was an incredible experience and opportunity. I just started work in Wilderness Therapy here in Utah. I work 8 days on, and then 6 days off. Those 6 days off I want to be full with providing love for your dear doggies!

Information Margaret R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any medical concerns? Allergies? What commands do you use for your dog? Are there any behavioral concerns or past episodes of violence? Is your dog trained? If so, how? I prefer medium-sized and larger dogs. I will work with any breed. I love Spaniels, Labs, Retrievers, Pit Bulls, Beagles, St. Bernards, and mutts of all kinds. I do prefer females, but do not mind working with male dogs.

A typical day

I love to hike and have dogs with me! If you think your dog needs space to run (and a human fast enough to keep up), I am your woman! I can even bring your pup on backpacking trips with me! When it gets warmer, I definitely plan to explore the reservoirs and bodies of water that we can swim in together! I am a strong swimmer, and usually bring my flippers so water-rescue isn't a concern.
