She was super helpful and thoughtful when taking care of my pets and home. She sent me updates and would go out of her way to help even in things she didn't sign up to do (unhooking my hoses due to snow coming in for example).
She was very friendly when meeting and my pets seem very happy and healthy after her taking care of them for almost a week while I was out of state.
Would highly recommend and will definitely use again for any of my dogwalking or pet sitting needs.

Margaret has been our pet care provider for 4 years! She is awesome! She loves our herd and cares for them with so much love and attention. She has stayed with them in our home when we go on vacations and also been available for daily walks or visits when we work long hours. If you love your dogs and cats getting lots of high-quality love and attention, Margaret is an excellent and wonderful choice. In fact, I'm a little scared to write this review as I don't want her to be unavailable for our next vacation if you book her before us! :) But, seriously, she provides amazing care. We highly recommend her! - Constance

Margaret is definitely my go-to house/pet sitter. She loves my animals and spends a lot of time with them, including walks and overnights! So much better, and cheaper, than a kennel. And she leaves my house cleaner than I left it!

Gretel is loving to our Babies. I never worry when we leave them with her. Usually she stays at our home when we are out of town. She also walks them when we are here. They love her. We have 3 small dogs and 1 cat. Gretel is a professional!
