About Margaret
* I've been pet sitting on Mad Paws for 6 years, with over 12 years' pet sitting experience overall. I have also worked in both human and animal healthcare and have a university background in science.
* COVID-19 pandemic: I actively practicing regular handwashing, good respiratory hygiene, face masks, social distancing, and staying informed of the current evolving situation. I am also fully vaccinated and am happy to deal with pet owners who are also vaccinated (this is for the protection of both ourselves and the families we come home to).
* During COVID-19, I am still happy to mind pets in their own homes, walk pets, keep to regular feed routines, and provide any sort of hugs that are required!
*Also, please note that I do NOT provide Pet Hosting services for adult cats (where your pet is looked after at my home) as I have two adult cats of my own. I provide Pet Day Care (care for your pet in the day time) and Pet Sitting (care for your pet overnight) at your home only.
*Happy to combine services. For example, Pet Day Care + Pet Sitting (for an entire day and night of pet care) or Pet Sitting + Dog Walking, etc. Please message me to discuss details!

House Visiting - Dec 31, 2021
Margaret was absolutely fantastic I can’t thank her enough She went above and beyond with my two fur baby cats. They both received the highest, most excellent care and she was wonderful at giving one of them medication twice a day. I received photos and updates twice daily and it put me at great ease. Highly recommended.

Margaret was amazing with our two dogs especially our nervous girl. We were very happy with her service.

Dog Walking - Oct 29, 2021
Absolutely thrilled with Margaret. A lovely and kind lady and our doggo and family love her. Margaret is very diligent with all aspects of Max's health and safety and also recording his poops so we know he is back on track after a little set back a few weeks back. I highly recommend Margaret to look after your fur babies., 10/10

Pet Day Care - Aug 25, 2020
Margaret was amazing and had a lot of fun with Nori! She kept Nori occupied with a lot of playing and gave her plenty of love and cuddles. Nori loves her and we would definitely have Margaret back again whenever we need a sitter.
