Attentive & Experienced Petsitter
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Margarida 😊 I have been a petsitter for cats/dogs for 2 years now. I have been working with animals for 10+ years, including doing foster services, and I spent last year working as a veterinary assistant. Experience: I have 10 + years of cat fostering experience. I’ve fostered cats/kittens from all areas of life and socialization stages. From newborns; to pregnant mothers/in labor; to cats with physical/neurological disabilities; to elderly cats; as well as rescues in need of socialization. I can proudly say every cat I've fostered has always gone to a forever home and it warms my heart to see rescued animals become friendly and sociable with humans. I worked this last year as a vet assistant for Community Mobile Vet in Santa Cruz. My job consisted of restraining and handling cats and dogs of various sizes, as well as birds and other animals. Medications: I can administer vaccines, collect urine/fecal samples, and administer oral medications/supplements. Services: Bottle feeding, administering medication, cleaning up waste, basic grooming, exercise, and socializing cats/dogs of various sizes/ages/abilities. Contacting me: You can call/text me through this website and I should reply shortly.
Reviews
Margarida was responsive, dependable, warm, friendly and very comfortable with our 9 year old German Shepherd. She asked intelligent questions related to the care of our dog and made sure that we were comfortable with the service. I highly recommend Margarida for pet sitting!
I can’t say how amazing Margarida is! She is one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had. Very prompt, accommodating, and thorough, plus my boys loved her!!
Margarida is keen to my dog's needs and it is very appreciated.
Attentive, flexible and very sweet.
About Margarida C.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Being a vet assistant, I have to be prepared for the unexpected and take specific precautions with every animal I meet. It's extremely important to be aware of any triggers or risks in an environment so I can be accommodating to the pet I am caring for. I like to provide a very friendly and attentive environment where I can gauge what their needs are at a given moment. This includes being accommodating to a pet’s social/behavioral needs and give them the ability to warm up to me.
Information Margarida C. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know your dogs' socialization habits, i.e. if they are friendly with other dogs/people, as well as their energy levels and favorite activities. Of course, any specific conditions or accommodations relating to your dog is always important to know.
A typical day
All pets have their unique personalities, and I love being able to bring out their energy and excitement whether it's through exercise, walking, or playing! I love outdoor activities such as taking going to the park, on hikes, or swimming. And I enjoy cuddling and playing with toys.

My family and I have been deeply invested in animal welfare and care since I was young. Aside from taking care of my own 5 cats and occasional fosters, I love to meet and care for other people’s pets!
