Margaux T. Pet Care Provider in San Diego, CA 92101

Hi! Tug of war is my favorite game, so if your pet is down, so am I. Or maybe they're more of a lap dog and fancy some snuggles. If they're hyperactive (like my pit bull boxer mix growing up) then I'm happy to spend time running them around. I have experience with puppies, service dogs, and senior dogs. When my family dog hit age 16 the arthritis and incontinence kicked in, I used to give him his medication, walk him every couple hours, feed him, clean up after him, help him up and down stairs, and take him to the vet. After my dog passed and I moved to San Diego, I started pet sitting for friends. I’ve cared for a Wheaton terrier while his parents were on a trip back to their hometown, as well as a beautiful fluffy old-timer named Nala while mom and dad were in Ecuador. I’ve boarded a few friends’ dogs as well as house-sat while caring for a golden retriever, pair of terriers, large shepherd mix, toy labradoodle, and other pups. I've primarily cared for dogs, but also have some experience with cats. I treat the pets and homes as I would my own, sending pics of jubilant pups and leaving the house clean so there’s nothing to worry about. I love making people (and their pets) happy! Past jobs include: babysitter/nanny, camp counselor, sales associate, tutor, teaching assistant in France, farm worker in Turkey and Croatia, gardener and dog walker in southern France, front desk assistant, cashier, and French translator. Most recently, I was a content writer and manager for a nonprofit. Right now, I’m going back to school for nutrition science and taking prerequisite courses at community college in San Diego. I would love to help put your mind at ease while you’re away from home, whether you need a pet sitter or dog walker. You can be sure that I'll be on time, honest, communicative, and ready to take great care of your pet!
