About Margaret T.
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet has different needs, which is why I offer flexible in-home pet care tailored to your family. Whether you need a quick drop-in visit to make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, and get a potty break, or you'd like me to stay longer for enrichment, exercise, playtime, and companionship, I'm happy to help. My goal is to keep your fur kids comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their own familiar environment while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾❤️ Please note that for the health and safety of all pets in my care, I only accept puppies that have completed their full series of core vaccinations. Because I visit multiple homes and interact with many dogs, there is always a small risk of unintentionally carrying germs or viruses between environments. Young puppies are especially vulnerable to serious illnesses before they are fully vaccinated. This policy helps protect your puppy, as well as the other pets I care for, and ensures the safest possible experience for everyone
Information Margaret T. would like to know about your pet
Every pet is an individual, and I want to provide the best care possible for your fur kids. Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, medications, disabilities, fears, anxieties, or behavioral concerns that I should be aware of before my visit. Whether your pet needs medication, has mobility challenges, is reactive to people or other animals, experiences separation anxiety, or has specific routines that help them feel comfortable, the more information you can share, the better I can tailor my care to their needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, understood, and well cared for while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet is unique, so I tailor my visits to match your pet's personality, energy level, and interests. For high-energy dogs, that may mean playing fetch with a ball, chasing a Frisbee, or engaging in active games that help burn off energy. For more laid-back pets, I'm happy to provide plenty of affection, belly rubs, ear scratches, brushing, and quality companionship. I also enjoy incorporating enrichment activities such as treat puzzles, scent games, and hide-and-seek with treats to keep curious minds engaged. Whether your pet wants to run, play, explore, or simply relax and soak up attention, I'll make sure they have a fun, safe, and rewarding visit.

Reviews
Margaret is a wonderful pet sitter that I have had the pleasure of knowing for almost eight years now! She has animals of her own and shows love and compassion in all of the care she gives! She’s reliable, easy to communicate with and all around a wonderfully kind person!
Margary is so awesome with animals and is so loving! Your babies are in good hands :) she’ll take great care of them just she does her own babies :)
Margary has been a dog Mom for over 20 years and has watched my dogs many times when I've been out of town and other friends as well. She's caring and follows directions perfectly to tend to the fur babies. I feel strongly that she's trustworthy with them and can handle dogs of all sizes.
