Retired nurse who loves all animals

Pet care experience

Won’t find a bigger dog lover! I’m a huge dog lover with plenty of room in my heart and home to care for your furry family member. Because of my nursing background and having a variety of breeds myself for over 20 years, I gained a lot of medical experience caring for my loved ones. I’m fortunate to work from home which gives me a lot of availability and flexibility.   It also allows me to accommodate any feeding schedules your dogs might have. I believe in a free range environment and have put both a secure fence around my yard and doggie doors in so they are free to enter and exit at their leisure.  Of course I have sat for many dogs for friends and family members and my dogs and myself have enjoyed the additional company. I work from home so I am available any time. I have doggie doors and a fenced in yard, so my dogs come and go as they please. I feed them first thing when I get up in the morning and first thing when I log off from work. I have a Boston Terrier/Pug mix and a French Bulldog who have been raised around other dogs. I dog sit for friends and family dogs when they need me. I adapt to what the dog needs when their in my home. I have to hand feed my sister's dogs because they nibble all day and my dogs would eat their food. I have 1 1/2" between my pickets on my fence so no size dog can get through. I put cinder blocks at the base of my fence all the way around to no dog can dig their way out.

Margie always does a wonderful job with our dog, Loki! I know he is getting the love and attention he needs when he is with her!

Our dog Hank is a very personable mini goldendoodle who has very little interaction with other dogs, so we were initially nervous leaving him behind. He has severe separation anxiety as well. Margie was awesome for helping Hank to get comfortable without us and overcome his anxiety. By the end, Margie was sending us photos of Hank actually enjoying his stay with other dogs and his time away. We will definitely be using Margie and Rover again. Thanks for taking such good care of Hank!!

Left my Rubie for a full week (first time we’ve been away from her for that long) and Margie sent photos and videos multiple times a day. Rubie was well cared for and played all day with the other dogs. She had a great time, thanks again Margie!

Information Margie P. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any special needs? Medication, help going up and down stairs? Help getting on the couch or bed? What is their dietary routine? Do they nibble throughout the day or eat their meal all at once?

A typical day

Since I have a doggie door upstairs and downstairs, my dogs get enough excise in the backyard. I have toys all over the house for them to play with. I have a neighbor who has a dog so sometimes the dogs chase each other going up and down the fence.
