5 fenced acres on a quiet street!

Pet care experience

Fall 2023 Update: Relocated back to Howey in the Hills, FL to be closer to my folks last year. I am currently just getting back into pet care after taking a break to get settled in and enjoy Florida after my move. I am primarily offering house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits at this time. I am also able to board for one family at a time, send a message if interested. I hope to open up my home and acreage in Howey to more new boarders and daycare doggos in the near future. After graduating from UCF, I moved to the San Francisco Bay in 2011 and worked as a manager for Citizen Hound, a top rated dog walking and pet sitting company. I moved to Northern California in late 2015 and completed a masters degree in business administration at CSU, Chico in spring 2018. Aside from k9 care, I also worked as a farm hand for the Farm Sanctuary, where I was fortunate to gain experience caring for small and large farm animals. I have had horses and potbelly pigs for the last decade and I am happy to discuss any farm animal care you may need as well. I'm accustomed to handling and caring for pets of all shapes, sizes and ages. I love them all!

Margaux was awesome. Communication was great. She came and met us and the dogs before we hired her. She obviously works well with even the craziest of dog breeds. Vizsla and GSP puppies! We will definitely use her again.

Margaux was awesome with our dog, Davy. She kept us updated while we were away for the weekend and left our house immaculate after her stay. Would definitely recommend Margaux to anyone!

Margaux came in CLUTCH for us while we were gone for our honeymoon. On top of making sure our dogs were loved & very well taken care of, she even updated me daily and informed us of a loose board on our neighbor’s fence. His dog and our Jackson have been knocking heads (literally) and one of the boards came down so she went out of her way to repair it until we got back! Our boys LOVE themselves some Margaux whenever she is over and we feel so blessed to have found someone that is amazing & love our dogs like they’re her own! Cannot go wrong with choosing her to watch over your furry loved ones

I work from home for myself so my schedule is flexible for around the clock care. We have three dogs, Blitz, Stix, and Kodak, and two potbelly pigs, Pancake and Bebop. If booking house sitting stays longer than 2 nights, I do request to be able to go home at some point during the day to spend time with my animals and keep up with my house, otherwise I can be there full time.
