Got Furr? I have love to give

I have been around animals my whole life, not only my own but I have also pet sat for friends, family and neighbors since I was a child. I have experience with shy/timid animals and understand earning trust takes patience and genuine care. I have personally had, and have also watched animals who are seniors(both cats and dogs) and am experienced with medication and highly specific diets. I have also worked with puppies as well, though only after the have been potty trained. I currently live in a multi animals house hold and feel comfortable giving love and attention to multiple pets and have cared for multiple animals in other homes previously.

Safety, trust & environment

Our homes are our safe spaces and being respectful of others safe spaces is very important to me. Being sure that doors are properly locked, alarms are set and animals are safely where they need to be is something I pay close attention to.

Margaret was an exceptional house/pet sitter who has excellent communication skills. She handled our cats recent onset urinary issues without hesitation or question. My crew loved her and I would absolutely book again!

This was our first time leaving our dog with a non-family sitter in our home while away on a week-long vacation. We were very nervous, but Margaret quickly set our mind at ease. She was communicative, positive and spent quality time with our dog. She even went above and beyond to do cleaning and washing the linens so that everything was in order when we arrived home! To top it off, we had a travel delay and she was more than willing to help us out. Margaret is an excellent, professional sitter and we'll look to her first next time we need a sitter.

Margaret is FABULOUS! She is just the person you want to leave your most loved furry friends with. She communicated effectively and took not only great care of our pup, but our home as well. Thank you, Margaret!

This was the second time we have asked Margaret to watch our two dogs and our house for over a week. She is a good communicator, responsible, and very thorough. She takes great care of our dogs and our house is always spotless when we come back. She is wonderful all around and we will definitely use her again in the future.

Let me know what they love the most, pets, fetch, running, feather toy etc. Please also make me aware if your animals has any no pet areas, is not good near children(I’m thinking about walks) If you have a counter surfer, please let me know so I can be sure all food or items which may be chewed are away.
