Information Margarida D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has specific needs. If your dog is prone to continuous barking when left alone due to separation anxiety, let’s discuss this since I do have downstairs neighbors. I am happy to accommodate for them to keep them at peace!

A typical day

I usually let dogs in my backyard so please let me know if you prefer them to have leashed walks as well. I can also take them on outings to dog friendly places instead of leaving them at home.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog in my family and have a dog of my own (miniature dachshund). He always barks a lot when meeting new dogs but eventually stops and is friendly. I do have a rabbit in the house (stays in a pen), so I may not be able to host your dog if they have a super high prey drive. I work from home and am usually available most of the day, particularly week days, to give dogs the attention and love they deserve. If your dog comes for daycare, I have a fenced in yard where dogs can play off leash. I have barricaded any gaps under the house so that tiny dogs cannot escape. I’ve got plenty of toys and variety of treats to spoil your pup! If you book me for dog walking/drop in visits: I am happy to meet before to go over instructions. I will always refill water bowls after the walk is finished and feed them upon request. If your dog is reactive or not friendly with other dogs, I can make sure they are distanced from other people/animals during the walk.

Margarida is so wonderful! She is always willing to go the extra step to help us with caring for Bennie. As a busy mom with three kids and changing schedules, I am so grateful for Margarida’s flexibility and grace when we need to change plans. Bennie loves her and she is a huge help for our family!

Margarida has walked my dog multiple times now through Rover and always does a great job of keeping me updated with pictures and videos. She’s dependable, communicates well, and has been available even in last minute situations. I know my dog is well cared for when she’s with him. I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker!
