Come Along Little Doggies!

Pet care experience

Very important details first- we have 2 children and 2 older dogs so WE ALWAYS REQUIRE MEET AND GREETS prior to a first booking. My husband and I are the type of dog lovers who stop dogs in the street to talk with them, the dogs. We totally speak dog. We have two dogs ourselves, Bandit who is terrier/chihuahua and Leroy who is mostly chihuahua. They are very well socialized and good company for visiting doggy guests. They used to work full time as shop dogs so are accustomed to meeting new dogs, and welcoming them into our space. We have many years of overnight experience dog sitting the pets of our friends and family. Our regular routine is a walk around the block first thing in the morning at about 7:30, a long walk at 3pm, a 6pm round the block walk, and then a visit outside before bedtime. Let us know your doggy's schedule and we can accommodate their needs. There's also guaranteed couch time. We offer a little of everything! We have two toddlers so are only accepting guests who are available for a meet n greet prior to the booking.

We had a great experience with Margaret! She was very responsive to my messages and sent me lots of photos throughout the day to let me know how my dog was doing. I would definitely book Margaret again in the future.

We love Margaret and her family! They are animal people to the core. She takes excellent care of our needy pup. Thank you :)

Margaret and her family were a great match for our older girl, Stella! She communicated often and I was worry free while out of town. We will definitely look to Margaret again!

Information Margaret T. would like to know about your pet

WE DO NOT LET DOGS OFF LEASH. It is too risky that some noise or something will startle your doggy and I can think of nothing worse than a dog running off and away from us. So if your dog requires playing fetch or being off leash to get his/her exercize, we are probably not the right home for you. That said, dogs in our care do get plenty of exercise. We walk 1+ miles per day.

A typical day

We are across the street from a dog park and we take dogs out for full walks 2x per day. Let us know if your dog is a good running partner and we can take him/her on a jog. When we are sitting 2 dogs (so walking 4 total including our dogs) we walk the doggies in shifts. Doggies generally walk 1 mile per day.
