Pet care experience

Paws in good hands!

I love looking after dogs and cats and have lots of experience caring for pets across the Bay Area. I’m calm, caring, and highly attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Pets tend to respond extremely well to me, and I take pride in building trust quickly. I’m also confident managing medication, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining a consistent routine. Whether it’s a playful walk, quiet companionship, or administering medication safely, your pets will be in kind and capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer overnight stays to take care of your pets while you have to be away. This may be for one night or for extended nights. I'll make sure you pet is calm and comfortable, feed them according to their usual schedule, walk them, keep them company and make sure they have everything they need.

This is the second time we used Maggie and it was so easy. Our pups remembered her and settled in quickly. They love her and we love coming home from vacation to a tidy house and happy dogs!

Margaret was easy to plan with and did a great job watching our pets for a last-minute request.

Great care of my dear dog and house. Excellent with him when he got a safety pin stuck in his foot- got him to the vet right away and he was fine. Great communication.

Maggie was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with from start to finish, sent photos every day, and was very attentive to our dog. We felt completely comfortable knowing our home and pet were in such good hands. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to others.

We can't say enough good things about Maggie & Doug when it comes to caring for your furrry ones. Finding mature, experienced sitters for little Mini, our spry, 17-year-old Terrier mix, is not easy since she is prone to anxiety-induced tummy issues. Maggie & Doug proved to be real pros! Mini was immediately comfortable with them, and they handled her minor health issues calmly and efficiently. Thank you, Maggie and Doug, for giving us our first worry-free vacation together in two years! If you have anxiety about leaving your older pet behind when you travel, these two can give you back your freedom to roam!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Margaret can host up to 1 pet per night
I’d love to know your pet’s routines, special needs, or quirks. Do they need medication, have anxieties, favorite toys, training goals, or sensitivities? Understanding their habits helps me give comfort, safety, care, and happy companionship.
