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!

PLEASE READ Medication and special care services are available for an extra charge that can be discussed before booking. Medications, diet, behaviors and daily routine are key components to making sure your pet is well cared for! Please share this information (and any other important facts, like their favorite toys and treats) with me ahead of time to ensure I am well prepared and everything runs smoothly while you are away! To avoid scams and last minute cancelations, stays longer than 5 days require an additional 15-20% non-refundable deposit prior to the sitting. Cash, check, Cashapp or PayPal are accepted.

A typical day

I love being able to provide whatever stimulation your pet needs to feel loved and cared for! 🥎Do they need a long walk or lots of ball time to get out the wiggles?? -No problem! 🥓Maybe a nap or extra snack between meals? -Of course!! ❤️Belly rubs, kisses, and cuddles on the couch?? -Say less! Whatever your needs, I've got it covered!

Loving care for pets big and small

Pet care experience

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.

Margaret did great watching my dog Gander while I was out of town. She had good communication and sent plenty of pictures.

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!!
