Experienced Dog Care

Hello Neighbors-I'm a mom, wife and dog caregiver. I've owned, trained, and shown dogs my entire life. My dog Stella is currently in scent training hoping to assist URI/DEM in combating the Lantern Fly infestation. I love all type of dogs especially the sporting and smaller ones now. Stella is a Lagotto Romagnollo ( Italian Waterdog) she seems to love all dogs universally so far. She received her AKC championship at 11 months with help from our breeders. We often help them out by fostering young Lagotto pups before their showing starts. We have a large fenced in yard -on a pretty pond in a very rural quiet area. In season the pups come out on our pontoon to swim and visit neighbors. We have excellent walking trails close as well. Having a doggie door to deck gives them more access to the yard and going potty. I believe in positive rewards, training and plenty of exercise and love with all animals. Dog care and training is my part time career Safety comes first, my yard is an acre of fun on a lake& completely fenced in with plenty of toys to play with.

Margo J. was awesome. She really knows dogs, and has a great fenced back yard for them to run around. She has a busy personal schedule, so schedule ahead of time.

Margo took excellent care of Freya, keeping her happy and comfy with her walks and cuddles and fun with doggy friends - a great weekend while we were away!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 27, 2018

Margo watched Finn during the day when I had to go back to work. She had no problem accepting the challenge of caring for a young puppy and has many years of experience raising dogs of her own. Finn got along really well with her two dogs and was always excited to go to Margo's house when I dropped him off in the morning. My mind was at ease during the work day knowing that he was in excellent care. She sent pictures and updates of them going on walks together, playing in the yard with her dogs, and working on some of his training. If we ever go away on a trip, I will definitely use Margo to care for Finn again! She truly loves what she does and cares deeply for all her clients' pups.

Margo did an awesome job with Penny! She kept me updated and sent pictures everyday! I knew talking with Margo that she will be good with Penny in helping her training. She also sent me an article on one of my house plants that is poisonous to dogs! I had no idea ? I recommended her to all my friends and I have already booked Margo for another week ☺️?

Winnie had a great time with Margo! She sent pictures throughout the weekend of Winnie playing with her dog Luna. I would definitely bring Winnie to stay with Margo again!

Margo was so wonderful and accommodating! My dog also loved her home (plenty of room to run around outside too) and both her dogs as well, everyone hit it off right away. I definitely will call on Margo again when heading out of town, and would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for caring and loving care for their dog while they are away. Thanks again for helping Snugs and I out (especially last minute) Margo!
