Highlights
Pet care experience
Active home with veterinarian
Ten years as a veterinary doctor, lifetime as an animal lover and guardian. Friends and clients describe me as someone who brings a calm, genuine warmth to every interaction. I enjoy both the quiet process of connecting with anxious pets and the exciting challenge of keeping active working dogs gainfully employed.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is on 5 acres at the end of a road in the hills. The area is very quiet, however I keep my guests on-leash for safety, as the yard is not fenced. I am happy to care for pets who have special needs, including administration of medications prescribed by your veterinarian. While I do not offer primary veterinary care to my boarding guests, my credentials and experience provide the assurance that your friend is in uniquely capable hands in the event of an emergency.
Ratings and reviews
I've been a Search and Rescue Dog Handler for more than 35 years. To say I'm picky about where my partners stay when I have to travel without them is a huge understatement. I'm delighted that Margot decided to board dogs. I've worked with her in SAR training over the past year and know she is kind, intuitive and understands canine behavior and health. I'd trust her with my partners any day, any time. Thanks, Margot!
Margot watched our Jack Russell Terrier puppy for an overnight in Fairbanks, Alaska - she kept our "Katy" safe yet allowed her to explore her new surroundings. Margot communicated well & took an amazing picture of Katy with her paw on a tennis ball while she played. I would trust Margot with any of my furry friends - highly recommend!
Margot is a kind, incredibly intelligent, and gentle soul. Her compassion extends beyond domestic species to wild critters and odd pets, too! She takes time to know a creature and care for it by understanding its needs and wants. She is patient, adventurous, and fun - a perfect companion.

Schedule
I set my availability to coordinate with days when I am not on shift, so I will be home full-time and adaptable to your furry/feathered/scaled friend's schedule during their stay. For my own pup, I usually dedicate a total of one hour to training (split into a few dispersed sessions throughout the day) and 1-2 hours for exercise and adventures, in addition to potty walks. I am happy to provide the same for my guests, adjusted as needed to accommodate their individual needs.
