Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs, that’s all

I genuinely have the greatest passion for animals and love being around them and caring for them. I own a house near town with a large backyard and tons of dog toys and beds. I don’t own any pets myself, and work remote as a with my partner. However, my true passion has always been for animals. I have volunteered at local humane societies since I was 12, and even an elephant sanctuary! I was on the board of the largest animal shelter in Chicago (PAWS), and have received formal training in dog behavior and handling. I have experience caring for and walking numerous dogs of every size and breed. I know of some good local parks around here and am willing to take energetic dogs on runs with me! I go on runs everyday, so having a furry friend to accompany me on them would be ideal.

Margo took excellent care of my boy! Quickly made him feel comfortable and fall into their routine. Ensured he took all of his medication as needed. Provided good detailed updates.

Margo was wonderful to work with. She took great care of my dog from the moment we had our meet and greet. She knows what a big deal it is to hand over trust with our precious pups. She is extremely communicative and responsible. My dog immediately felt safe with her and had a lot of fun while I was out of town. I highly recommend Margo.

I highly recommend Margo! This was my first time working with her. I’m always a little nervous when I have to travel and leave my dog with a new sitter, especially since my dog can be a picky eater and also can be reactive to other dogs and new environments. Margo and her partner were great and reassured me that my girl would be in good hands and they helped my dog (and me!) to feel comfortable during a meet and greet. She provided updates and photos too. Upon picking up my dog after my travels, I could tell she had a great time and was well cared for. I would definitely work with Margo again :)

House Sitting • Aug 07, 2024

Margo was absolutely amazing. She took care of our girls like they were her own. She worked on their commands (which they loved), took them on multiple walks and even took them on a road trip. We always received plenty of pictures and updates which allowed us to be able to enjoy our family vacation. We will definitely recommend Margo and will be using her in the future!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your animal as if it’s my own, simple as that. They will get ample attention throughout the day, as well as a minimum of 3 walks and lots of play time. I prepare frozen fruits and vegetables that are especially healthy for dogs before I welcome pets into my home so I have healthy treats available at all times. I have also purchased my own dog toys and beds that I have around my home to ensure your animal is always comfortable and entertained.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally throughout the day. I have experience in training dogs on and off leash, and I love taking the animals I care for to the local dog parks and beaches.
