Pet care experience

Grandma who LOVES dogs!

I have been caring for animals most of my life! I've cared for dogs, cats, goats, chickens and even falcons! My favorite is caring for dogs. I grew up with my dog, Porky, our family Terrier. As I raised my own family, our dog, Lady, became a significant part of my children's lives. Now I often care for my children's pets, and that is where the cats, chickens, goats and falcons come in. I love them all!

Peggy was amazing! She took such good care of our dogs and sent us updates through the week. We love her and will definitely be using her again!

I'm so glad I found Margaret! She's an excellent doggy care giver! My senior Frenchie was very well cared for. Margaret provided daily updates and follwed my frenchie's medication schedule (and my Frenchie is on a lot of meds). I would highly recommend Margaret to look after your dog!

Margaret was incredibly organized. We were able to meet with her prior to our dog's stay. She took notes on all the needs our dog had, including his chicken allergy. When we dropped him off, it was clear she had reviewed her notes and was ready to give him the attention and love he needed. She sent us pictures of him while we were gone. Her communication skills were excellent and she was flexible with our drop off and pick up times.

Margaret is wonderful with my fur babies. She kept us updated with photos periodically during our vacation. We just love her and you can tell she loves our dogs as well. Highly recommend! ❤️

Schedule

Occasionally I care for my children's pets; however, I don't have pets of my own. I am typically home most of the day, and if I do go out, it's only for a few hours. Please check my schedule for openings.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in side-yard for dogs to run and play. I prefer to not walk large dogs but am happy to take them for a ride in my van. Pets are welcome on the furniture. I am open to feeding and care as suggested by my clients. I have a dog bed ready and waiting.

A typical day

Take a drive and check out a near-by dog park. Explore a new neighborhood that has plenty of dog friends. I love playing fetch and going for walks.
