Highlights
Pet care experience
Young, Caring, Experienced Sitter
I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have cared for many different animals, including dogs, cats, and many more. I’m experienced with energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior pets who require gentle, attentive care! I’m very reliable and follow routines closely, which is why many families trust me and book with me again and again. I truly love animals and always treat every pet like they’re my own!
Cat care experience
Margaret also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, maintain routines, and make sure pets are in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs! I treat every home with respect and always communicate with updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. I aim to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Maggie! We would definitely use her again.
This is our second time booking with Margaret and she has been absolutely wonderful! She’s taken great care of our German Shepherd and been prompt, reliable, and communicative. Our dog loves her and my stepdaughter loves the pictures she sends too! I will absolutely continue to rebook with Margaret for sitting in the future and would highly recommend her.
Margaret was absolutely wonderful and we are so grateful to her for taking care of our German Shepherd. She was prompt, communicative, and trustworthy. Our dog seemed to truly enjoy his time with her, and it was so reassuring to receive photos and updates while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and are overjoyed to have found such an amazing local sitter. I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Maggie was amazing!! One puppy and two older dogs (plus a last minute 3 hr coverage for another puppy!!). We loved the photos during Maggie's stay! Maggie left a detailed report card that captured their personalities 100%, which really shows how much they bonded!! We will definitely reserve Maggie again soon!
Very wonderful, kept me updated on my dog and everything. Communicates well, will use again and highly recommend using her.
Maggie is a wonderful pet sitter. It is obvious that she is a lover of animals by the way she interacts with my 2 golden. She is caring, always on time, and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend Maggie for help with boarding, walking, or with any of your pets needs.

Schedule
I’m a college sophomore, and pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. When I’m not in class, I dedicate my time to caring for pets and making sure they get consistent attention and care. I attend college about 25 minutes away, which allows me to stay flexible and reliable with scheduling. I’m currently on winter break until late January, so I have extra availability and flexibility during this time!

- I love learning as much as possible about each pet before our time together! It’s helpful to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any specific likes, dislikes, or quirks. I also appreciate knowing about their energy level, walking preferences, favorite toys, and how they typically behave around other animals or new people. Additionally, it’s important for me to know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, or mobility considerations so I can provide the best and safest care. The more I know ahead of time, the more comfortable, happy, and stress-free your pet’s experience will be!
