Pet care experience

Safe and Happy Care for Dogs & Cats

I have hands-on experience caring for my Cavalier puppy, Roxy, including completing reactivity training, so I am comfortable and confident with reactive dogs. Caring for Roxy taught me the importance of patience, routine, and individualized attention. I prioritize every pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, understanding their special training and care needs, and I treat every animal like part of my family. I’m happy to follow any special routines or instructions to ensure your pets feel comfortable and loved.

Margarita was incredibly detailed in her summaries which was very appreciated. She played with our 2 kittens daily and also made sure they ate and had clean litter boxes. We will alway pick Margarita in the future!

I recently left our dog in Margarita’s care for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I picked him up, it was clear he had been very well taken care of—he was happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable. Margarita provided excellent care, attention, and genuine love, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s never easy trusting someone with your pet, but she truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Margarita to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care. I will definitely be using her services again!

Schedule

I work full-time as a behavioral therapist for kids during the weekdays, and my evenings are dedicated to pursuing my Master’s degree in ABA. I usually offer pet boarding over the weekends, starting Friday night through Sunday, so your pets get my full attention and care. I plan activities, playtime, and cuddles around their needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a consistent routine that includes playtime, walks (for dogs), feeding, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I supervise all interactions to ensure safety, especially for puppies, kittens, or reactive pets. I follow any instructions or routines you provide, so your pets feel secure and happy while you’re away.
