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.

Information Margaret S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

We love walking, running, and chasing balls, giving belly rubs, snuggles, and treats. Playtime with toys, gentle brushing, mealtime care, silly games, and cozy companionship. Whether fetch or purrs, I bring joy, comfort, safety, and endless fun!

Pet care experience

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.

Margaret was absolutely wonderful with our new puppy and both of our dogs. When our vet called to say our puppy needed medication, she handled everything with care and made sure he was well taken care of. She is dependable, attentive, and clearly treats our dogs with care. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have someone we can rely on. We highly recommend her!

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.
