Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover of pets big and small!
Reliable, loving pet sitting and drop-in visits for animals big and small (no snakes or spiders, please!). As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for both small and large dogs—including owning Great Danes for many years—as well as cats and horses. I’ve also volunteered with a rescue organization, giving me a strong understanding of different temperaments and special care needs. During the summer, I offer flexible availability and can visit at almost any time, including overnight stays when needed. As a teacher, my school-year schedule allows for early morning and after-school visits. I provide dependable, attentive care and am happy to share excellent references!

Ratings and reviews
Margaret is such a great dog sitter! She has taken care of our dog in our home numerous times and every time we return our house is spotless and our dog is well cared for. She is very professional. We couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!
Margaret W. loves animals! Especially dogs. She is very loving, responsible, and caring. Your pets will be happy to see her, and she will take good care of them.
Margaret is an exceptional pet sitter, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. She has cared for both of my doodles and consistently provides an outstanding level of care and attention. I am very particular and have fairly detailed instructions for my dogs, and Margaret follows every detail exactly, which gives me complete peace of mind while I’m away. What stands out most is how loving and caring she is with my pups. She treats them like her own, and it is obvious they adore her. They are always happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. Knowing they are with someone so attentive, dependable, and genuinely kind makes all the difference. 🐶✨

Schedule
A typical day of pet sitting for me is centered around making your fur babies feel happy, comfortable, and loved. During the summer, with my open schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with each pet—whether that means morning walks, playtime in the yard, feeding routines, or simply sitting and giving them the attention they deserve. I make sure to follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free. Throughout the day, I include plenty of interaction—play sessions, cuddles, and check-ins—while also keeping an eye on their overall well-being. For pets who enjoy it, I love spending extra time outdoors or engaging them with toys and enrichment activities. I’m also happy to send updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands. My goal each day is simple: to treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
