I work from home whenever I want to. So on days where I am watching your pet, I will be there the entire day monitoring them and playing with them. I am very active and love to go on walks, so you can rest assured that your pet will be active!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, so I am very experienced when it comes to care. I love to just hang with them, give constant head scratches, and play with them all day long! Additionally, my apartment has a nice out door space that is entirely enclosed meaning it is surrounded by walls. So you don’t have to worry about potentially unreliable fences, or backyards that aren’t fenced in!

Information Margaret S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat isn’t allowed to play with certain toys, has a special diet, or has any other nuances that I should know ahead of time!

A typical day

I will go on walks, play with them in our courtyard, and just relax in our apartment giving them lots of love! Pets are also allowed on our couches, so they will be very comfortable in our space!

Loving Care When You Aren’t There!

Pet care experience

I treat your pet like my own, adapting entirely to what they need today—whether that is patient pacing for a senior pet, consistent leash training for a high-energy puppy, or a calm environment for an anxious dog or cat. You will get live GPS tracking and photo updates with every walk, giving you total peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy, and in caring hands!

We had a great experience with Margaret! She watched Josh for daycare and was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive throughout the day. Josh is still a puppy and can be a lot at times, but she treated him like he was her own and made him feel completely comfortable. I felt very confident leaving him with her and would absolutely book with her again!
