Pet care experience

Your pet's new best friend!

I absolutely love dogs, cats, horses, snakes, birds — any and all pets! Ever since I was born, I've lived in a household with multiple dogs and cats. Over the past four years in college, I've worked as a professional dog walker and petsitter. I studied wildlife biology at UC Davis and gained lots of experience taking care of exotic animals, such as birds, amphibians, and reptiles. I'm very comfortable with taking care of all kinds of pets and can perform basic veterinary care. Let me know how to best pamper your pet! I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of availability and flexibility throughout the day. I can come to your home multiple times during the day if desired. I am very comfortable taking care of pets, both young and senior ages. In your home, I'll be very courteous of your privacy and space. I'm a quick learner and will fulfill all of your pet's needs.

I’m so happy to find Margo for my pup’s daily check-ins! Margo is very thoughtful and insightful about animals, and my pup took to her right away. She followed all my instructions and performed all requests perfectly and responsibly. My pup is a kind but special needs gal, and I have no worries when she’s in Margo’s care. Thank you, Margo!

My husband and I were fans of Margo's right away. She has such an easygoing demeanor and is extremely conscientious. At our initial meeting, she asked all kinds of specific questions that showed me she really cared about doing a good job w/ our senior cat, Bonnie Blue. Bonnie needs oral medication administered twice daily and Margo was able to do this easily when she checked in on Bonnie over a long holiday weekend. Margo watered our plants, too (I have many, so this is no easy feat!) We will certainly be hiring Margo again and next time we'll ask her to watch our dog, Hattie, too, as Hattie clearly loved Margo, too, when they met.

Margo is a fantastic pet sitter! I highly recommend booking her. She did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat and middle-aged dog. My dog is adorable, but not always easy to take care of. He can be reactive to other animals and people, but I felt completely comfortable hiring Margo to walk him. My cat requires extensive medication throughout the day as well, and she had no problem following her medication regime. Margo is very responsible and easy to work with. I trust her completely. I appreciated all the photos and updates she sent me while taking care of my fur babies. I look forward to booking her again in the future!

Margo was amazing! She housesat for me and watched my kittens while I had to go away for a few days. She sent me lots of pictures, was super communicative, and my kittens seemed very happy in her care. Would definitely recommend Margo and will definitely book her again in the future!

Margo is a compassionate, punctual, and trustworthy petsitter. She cared for my families elderly dog Fenton. He requires medication and usually struggles with separation anxiety when we are away, both issues that having Margo as a petter sitter has helped greatly with. I wouldn’t leave him with most sitters but without hesitation would leave him with her. 10/10 would recommend!

Margo is a very reliable and caring care giver for animals of all kind. She has often cared for our two cats and two dogs with excellent results. Services she has provided include dog walking, pet feeding, medication giving, plant watering, mail gathering, etc. I can't recommend her enough!
