About: I have had pets all my life, I grew up with a yellow lab who developed diabetes around 10 years old. I learned to give her the insulin shots she needed that allowed her to live a couple more years. Now I have two rescue dogs, one that is now deaf, that I share responsibility for with my parents. I am willing to take the time to learn how to give any special care your dog might need, and can go at your senior pups pace if needed. I can also keep up with young energetic dogs that enjoy playing and exploring. I share responsibilities of my two dogs with my parents so I am often feeding and playing with my dogs. I take care of them daily. As for your pet, I am available to walk your pup anytime from 11am - 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. While my own dogs are more couch potato vibe, and don’t need much more than a run in the backyard, I understand your pets needs may be different. In a clients home I prefer to have written instructions about a pets routine. I like to give the care the pet parent would like me to provide. A little bit of training during a walk, a certain strict meal plan, or if your pet needs medicine- I can do it! As long as the information is provided to me I will care for your pet the same way you would.

“Margaret was so wonderful to our baby Bruno! She was punctual in showing up to walk him, communicated with both the house/dog sitter and us while we were on our two week trip.

My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.
