Safety, trust & environment

My main concern is keeping the dogs safe, calm, and loved. I'm very present in what I do. I make sure that the environment is free from anything that would harm them in any way whatsoever. I also find out what the dogs behavior is from the owner, for instance some owners don’t leave toys out when they aren’t there. I make sure, if that’s an issue, I put the toys out of their reach unless I’m right there with them at all times.

Information Margie Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any behavioral issues, fears or anxiety. I will make sure to accommodate them appropriately. I would appreciate if you tell me the extent of any behavioral trait or issue and what you know helps.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We can have gentle play in the house, with a ball, or toy, or just being silly with them. I take them out side to sniff, play, maybe throwing a ball, although I usually keep them on the leash, and walk. I know how important exercise, play, and sniffing is for dogs. For cats, it’s mostly indoor play and fun with cat toys. Let me know what your pet’s favorite activity is.

Pet care experience

Serving South Boulder/Northwest Broomfield Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on and trusted me to take good care of their dogs, drop in when they're gone, play with them, walk and feed them.I have worked with a couple of dog trainers for my rambunctious Golden Retriever, and have cared for senior dogs, when ill and into their last precious days. I’m a former massage therapist. I love to give animals a calming massage. In my days of owning a healing clinic, I was asked to help with a dog, which I said yes to. I had given many massages to dogs at that time. Of course, some cats love it too. There’s a special connection with touch.

Margie was fantastic with my cat! She was reliable, super communicative, and always kept me updated with plenty of photos. She made sure my cat got plenty of attention and companionship during each visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!
