Pet care experience

Warm, bubbly, clean, professional

Animals have been in my life ever since I was a baby with two goldfish. Throughout my life, I have notably had 3 cats and 1 dog. I worked in a professional pet care environment at PetSmart and even have some experience caring for farm animals. I am very familiar with various pet products, grooming, and some medications.

Margaret took excellent care of our 3 kitties! She understands what cats need -- from the fun things like cuddling & playing with them to watching out for their safety. Margaret communicated clearly and was a joy to work with. What a gift to be able to leave home for over 2 weeks and know that I didn't have to worry about our cats. Many thanks to Margaret for a professional job. I'll definitely book her again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I can generally work my schedule around any reasonable weekly routine. For house sitting I'm available for up to two weeks at a time and we can potentially negotiate for a longer stay.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a senior cat who is a picky eater with medication and special dietary needs. This makes me good at paying attention to dietary needs. I enjoy playing with pets a lot and I pay a lot of attention to their needs. You can expect me to give your pets lots of enrichment activities.

Pets

A typical day

There will be very few dull moments with your pet(s). I keep them entertained with their favorite activities and plenty of walks and snuggles. If I can, I like to give them puzzles and games to keep them mentally enriched as well.

Does your pet need any special foods or medicines? Is there anything that they are not allowed to do that I should look out for (like jumping on couches).? Let me know about your dog's energy level and the best way to wear them out.
