Pet care experience

I'd love to take care of your dogs!

I am compassionate, thorough, and responsible with my care. I genuinely love dogs and have grown up with them all my life--I am comfortable feeding and walking them, picking up their poop, and giving medication. I have taken care of and fostered dogs of all sizes and breeds for the past 8 years and loved it. I am an active person who loves being outside, so I'll always be able to keep up with your dog and keep them entertained!

Margaret walked Alfie weekly for 6 months, and she has been wonderful to work with. She is communicative, punctual, reliable, and very dependable. Alfie is always excited to see her and clearly enjoys their walks together. We really appreciate the care and consistency she brings each week.

Margaret has walked my goldendoodle for over a year and is absolutely fantastic. She is always on time, braves any weather, and sends me tons of cute pictures while I’m at work. We are going to miss her since she’s moving but cannot recommend her enough!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am in graduate school at WashU and have a mix of hybrid and in person work/classes. My availability during the day changes a bit week to week but even on my busiest days I wouldn’t leave your pup for more than 5-6 hours. Feel free to message and ask about specific dates.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I’m attentive and will honor and respect the client’s specific wishes for what they’d like from a dog sitter, the same way I’d want someone to care for my dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I'll go on walks around your neighborhood or nearby parks. I'm an outdoors person and will spend time in the yard with your dog, play with them, and just give them attention.

I love all dogs - I grew up with dachshunds and most of the dogsitting I have done has been with bigger dogs, such as labs!
