Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Loving Dog-Sits!
I regularly dog-sit for family friends ranging from small, medium, and large dogs (most experience with Chihuahuas, Terriers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Spaniels)! I've also been a regular volunteer at Priceless Pet Rescue in Claremont and Chino Hills from 2022 - 2025. I feel particularly comfortable with mellow dogs who just need a friend to hang out with and play together, but I'm excited to care for more active dogs who require consistent exercise and/or mental stimulation. I enjoy walking with dogs in the mornings and evenings when the air and sidewalks are cooler, but I'm more than happy with accommodating your dogs' specific routine. I’m super excited to meet your doggies and thank you for your consideration!

Safety, trust & environment
My two cats are strictly indoor only, with occasional supervised and harnessed walks/exploration time outside, which helped me become very attentive. I will notice very quickly if your dogs or cats are not in their usual areas of the house, and will work fast to contact you and locate them ASAP. I will always put your pets' safety first with gentle, cooperative care, patience, and love!
Ratings and reviews
Margaret did a good job watching Maisie. She gave her a variety of new experiences and took good care of her and my house. I will definitely use her again
Thank you for spending so much time to get to know our wants and needs for our pet sit.
Thank you so much Margaret for taking good care of our pets and keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and needs. We appreciated you pointing out areas of concern with the house and your consistent communication with us about anything! Looking forward to having pet sit in the future!
Margaret is a phenomenal pet caregiver. She genuinely treats every animal she encounters as a living creature with its own identity, personality, and agency and does her best to learn and understand these things about the pets she surrounds herself with. Pet sitters may be common, good pet sitters may be rarer, but a pet caregiver of Margaret's caliber - who not only watches the pet, but cares for it as if it's her own - is truly one of a kind. She is superlative.
Margaret is wonderful and I can tell she's a real animal lover from the way she treats my dog, Haku. When I went to Seattle for a weekend, she made sure Haku was well-exercised, fed, and happy. She follows all instructions and will ask questions to clear up any confusion. I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for an attentive and professional pet sitter. Your pet will be in great hands with her!
Margaret is a very sincere and loving pet owner. Knows how to care for her pets in many ways and is a gentle soul !
