I am currently in a transitional summer before I move across the country to begin my MBA at Berkeley Haas this fall. Because I am currently away from my full-time job, pet care is my primary focus for the summer. I have wide-open, flexible availability for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week and on weekends. Since I am preparing for a rigorous graduate program, I am extremely organized and disciplined with my time, ensuring that I am consistently punctual and reliable for every booking.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my absolute priority. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where your pet will be treated like family. I am a cat mom to two friendly indoor cats, so I am very experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics and ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I am happy to accommodate crating or provide separate spaces if your dog prefers their own area. When caring for pets in your home, I am hyper-vigilant about security and following your specific household rules. My background as a runner and yoga practitioner keeps me physically capable and mentally alert, so you can rest assured your pet is in safe, attentive hands while you are away.

20yrs of Pet Care Experience

Pet care experience

I have over 20 years of experience living with and caring for dogs, ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors. Having raised a dog through every stage of its life, I am deeply attuned to animal behavior and specialized needs. What sets me apart is my active lifestyle; as a regular runner and yoga practitioner, I have the physical stamina to provide long, engaging walks for high-energy breeds. I am also a cat mom to two, so I’m comfortable with multi-pet households. I pride myself on being incredibly punctual, communicative, and observant. Whether your pet needs a fast-paced run or a patient stroll, I treat every animal with the same safety-first mindset and affection I give my own.

Maggie was absolutely amazing with my fur baby!! Upon their first meeting, my cat was immediately in love with Maggie. She took incredible care of my cat and was so sweet to take on the job on very short notice. 15/10 would absolutely rebook Maggie!!

Margaret is exactly the kind of person I would want taking care of my pets. She is thoughtful, competent, and kind. She takes care of her own cats with diligence and love. She is responsible in every facet of her life and will be the best care giver to any pet!

I've never met a bigger pet lover than Margaret. She is fantastic! She has taken such incredible care of my dog, Gale. I am incredibly protective over Gale, but Maggie is dedicated, committed, and incredibly consistent. I never have to worry because she is always right on time and treats Gale with so much love and respect. I've recommended her to many of my friends with pets, and they all say the same thing. Outside of pet caregiving, she's simply just an all-around wonderful person. Highly recommended!
