Quality time w/ your family member

Pet care experience

I've been fortunate enough to have had many dogs live a long and healthy life. My secret is good food, mental stimulation and exercise for my best friends, and I will show your best friend the same loving attention. Dogs live in the moment, and I think all moments should give them as much enjoyment as possible. As as SPCA volunteer, I spent many years walking dogs, assisting with spay and neuter clinics both on and off site, and helped with many Silent Auctions fundraisers. I can also provide care for your cat at the same time. I help my neighbors while they are away by taking care of their cats. I feed them, play with them (when they let me!) and will clean litter boxes. I look forward to giving you stress free time away from home in the knowledge that your animals will be well taken care of.

Margie is a dog person, and she has plenty of experience with dog sitting and dog walking based on her many years of volunteering at the animal shelters around town. She has a way with dogs that I cant comprehend, but have certainly come to admire. I have a dog of my own that Margie befriended, and my dog simply loves Margie. When Margie came in to visit me recently (after a four week absence), my dog instantly went crazy with excitement the moment she walked in the door. Margie talks to the dogs and the dogs seem to respond and understand. I think Margie would be an excellent dog sitter, and any dog would be lucky to have Margie as a caregiver. She obviously loves dogs, anticipates what a dog is thinking, and is very responsible in her actions and mannerisms. I can't think of anyone I would be willing to trust my dog with more than Margie.

Margie has taken such great care of our beloved Bijou. She is consistent, caring and thorough. She went above and beyond our expectations. Highly recommend her as her work ethic and connection with dogs is amazing.

I've learned a lot from Margie by watching her handle her dog. She utilizes clicker training and a positive reward system which I have found to be very effective. She is very intuitive regarding all variety of dogs behavior and knows how to handle her dog in the proper way when interacting with other dogs. She is incredibly patient, kind and understanding and thoughtful to her dog's needs. I think this is an important quality any pet parent would want. On a personal level, Margie is one of the most responsible and reliable people I have every known. She's a also a seasoned dog walker. Margie is a very caring individual and any pet parent would be fortunate to have her for a dog sitter.

I am writing to you about my friend Margie. I have known her for a couple of years and we visit each other frequently. Margie’s dog is Boop, and she takes wonderful care of her. To see Boop you would think that she is a mid age dog around 6 or 7 years old but because of the excellent care she receives at home she looks much younger than her years and is in excellent physical shape. Margie is quite comfortable around dogs. I have a ½ Jack Russell and ½ lab mix dog who is not the friendliest gal around but Margie is comfortable and relaxed around her and Maya, my dog responds very well to her. Margie has come to visit at my house and we have a veritable pack of dogs over here as there is construction work going on and our workers bring their dogs to work with them. The dogs get on well with Margie and Margie is comfortable and firm when dealing with them and their little skirmishes. I would highly recommend Margie for any work for and with dogs.

Information Margie H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know that your dog walks nicely on a leash. If he or she is either prone to pulling, or is still learning, I'd prefer that we go to dog parks as long as they are comfortable around other dogs. No breed preferences, but nothing over 50 lbs please.

A typical day

We can go on walks around the neighborhood, parks, along the river.
