We pay attention to their specific needs and if it's allowed in your home, it's allowed in ours! I live with my husband and our 11 year old son, who is gentle, quiet, and loving.

Information Margaret S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special needs or behaviors I would need to account for. I do my best to accommodate you. My preference is for smaller companion breeds with moderate energy levels.

A typical day

We love to start the day with cuddles! We take walks, and play until we're ready for rest. We have lots of stimulating toys and games for the curious explorers and cozy spots for the snorers. :)

Welcome to your dogs second home!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I go by my middle name, Caitlin. I recently lost my companion pet of 13 years, a cavalier king charles spaniel named Riley. While we're not yet ready to take on another as our own, we miss the energy that only pets provide and still have so much love to give. We would love to welcome your pets to their second home. I can provide some special care, such as senior care and medical management and specialize in breeds that struggle with separation anxiety. I am always learning and happy to accommodate your pets unique needs!

I was very nervous about leaving Max alone since he has separation anxiety. Caitlin (Margaret) was wonderful with him. I don't know how she found so much time for him. From the pictures, he apparently had fun exploring he house and backyard, going for walks, playing with her son and falling asleep while being carried around! I'm very thankful for the attention he has received, and have a huge sense of relief that I can leave him with her knowing he will be safe and have plenty of attention.

Caitlin Margaret greeted my dog and incorporated her into their family’s weekend in the home and yard. Her dog taught mine to use a doggy door. She sent an update and photos, showing a happy pup. Whimsy Gal was in great condition when I picked her up. If we lived in Vancouver, we would return frequently.

Excellent in every way. Caitlin has a very friendly personality that is excited about meeting and spending time with dogs. Her home is well equipped and comfortable to provide a home away from home for your dog. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, just don't take away my next reservation!

Caitlin (Margaret) takes care of my August like he is one of their family. I get lots of pictures while I'm gone, so I know he is as spoiled there as he is at home. When I went to pick him up, August didn't want to leave! When I got him into the car he wasn't over-stressed and anxious, and he also wasn't over-tired. Just perfect!
