House Sitting in Standish

About: I am a born and raised Country girl and animal lover. I love caring for dogs and being outside with them. I am energetic, easy going and fun loving. I love going for long walks around the neighborhood. I am willing to work with multiple dogs if needed. I am hard working, very trustworthy and dependable and can provide references when asked. I have experience working with a variety of types and sizes of dogs from Chihuahuas and dachshunds, to Akitas and Pitbull breeds. I am able to record and report any changes in your dog behavior as well as any physical problems with the dog to you and am able to transport to the veterinarian if needed. I can provide a daily log to track time actively spent with your pet. I am a full time single Momma who is currently in between jobs, so my schedule for the most part is fairly open and flexible I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can run around during the day and play. I also have a large outside kennel with a dog house that your fur baby is welcome to stay in to get some fresh air if the yard is not a good fit for some reason, for overnight stays they would be allowed to stay inside with me. I live about 10 minutes away from Janesville park would be more than happy to take them to the park to play and burn off any energy, work on getting them social with other dogs, and just get them out and about in general. If I am asked to do home visits for your fur baby, I will make sure I spend a good amount of time with them in between visits.

About: I learned to care for animals with dignity and respect on my grandmas farm. I've fostered and owned many dog breeds, mostly large (40lbs or more) I have taken my own dogs to classes where the training is for the humans not the dogs. I've been taught how to interact with dogs and lead them with authority, as well as love and verbal praise. There is nothing better than spending the day outside with the dogs. I'm currently available every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and before 1pm the rest of the week. With enough notice I could create more flexibility in my schedule When caring for pets in clients homes I follow their routine. I'm familliar with crate training and I believe the happiest dog is a well exercised dog.

“Margaret did a great job of house sitting our big old dog. It was our first time working with Margaret and she kept us informed with text and pics. Our dog was has happy and so are we! Highest recommendation for Margaret!”

“Jacqueline is great! She came and watched our dog last minute when our other sitter left unexpectedly. We were out of the country and she put us at ease. We’ve used her a couple of times now and we can tell that she takes very good care of our pup! She sends pictures and updates and leaves our home in great condition. Thank you Jacqueline!”
