Pet care experience

Loving care for pets big and small

I’ve been pet sitting since I was young, and bring both a gentle touch and firm confidence when caring for animals. I believe in treating every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and love. I have experience with cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, birds & even small farm animals like chickens and rabbits! I’m also feline and canine CPR certified and can administer oral/topical medications, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and in trained hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am very observant and always check that areas are safe and suitable before your pets are taken outside or interact with other people or animals. Besides being canine/feline CPR trained, I am great at identifying mood changes, monitoring food intake, and administration of topical and oral medications. Spaces are always kept clean and tidy and making sure your pet has fun and stays safe are my top priorities!

Margaret was terrific! On time, great attitude, dogs loved her! House was spotless when we returned, and she even washed her linens and unloaded the dishwasher. We highly recommend her!!

Margaret is so kind and sweet, and our fur babies loved her! We appreciate how she kept in touch with updates and pictures. We already booked another stay with her 💚

Margaret did a great job taking care of Ben, Finley, and Penelope. She followed the feeding instructions perfectly and was outstanding at caring for Penelope who has trauma issues. She was patient and very sweet. She sent videos and pictures too! When Margaret was ready to leave, Finley ran out the door with her! I felt very at ease and enjoyed my vacation knowing that my babies were taken care of!

Margaret is the best! We have two high-energy pups, and they adored her from the first second she stepped into the house. She is communicative and loves the pups like they're her own. She took great care of them and the house. Highly recommend!
