Description of Work:
Dog walking, and dog day care for my two Labrador Retrievers.
Excellent, the dogs were very tired when I picked them up, they had been on two walks (off-leash) for the day. Margaret believes in letting the dogs she walks run together in groups of 3-6, it greatly improves social skills.

Description of Work:
We left our mixed-breed dog with Margaret for four days while we were on vacation. All basic services were provided, including feeding, walking and playtime with the other dogs.
We brought our dog over to Margaret's home in advance for the required "interview." This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone else for more than a day since we got him, so we were very concerned about finding a place where he would be happy, comfortable and well cared for. Margaret observed his interactions with the other dogs and told us he would be a good fit, despite his occasional growling when a larger dog made him feel overwhelmed. We dropped him off the day before our departure along with his food and a few other supplies. When I called Margaret later that day because I had neglected to tell her how much to feed our dog, she told me he had already stopped growling and was interacting well with the other dogs. When we went to pick him up at the end of our vacation, he seemed very happy and confident. He even licked the face of a dog he'd become friendly with before we left. We were very satisfied with our experience and will definitely use Daley Care again in the future.

Description of Work:
Daley Care picks up my dog every day and walks him for at least an hour, they also watch him when ever I am on vacation or away from home.
My dog is a very high energy, large hound dog. When my dog walker quit because of his high energy level I contacted Daley Care to see if they could walk him for me. I spoke with Margaret on the phone and she said she would be happy to take him, after a brief interview of my dog (probably to make sure he was not aggressive for the safety of the other dogs she walks) I hired Daley Care to walk my dog while I am at work, I am absolutely amazed with the service. I am gone every week day for 10-14 hours a day, when I get home my dog is already warn out, he has started responding to commands better and has become an overall better dog. I have also hired Daley Care to watch him while I am out of town for sometimes up to a week. Margaret and her team are extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous, honest and caring I would recommend their services to anyone!

"Margaret has been great in watching our little energetic attention seeker! Our dog Lucy loves to stay the day or the night with Margaret because she really cares for each and every dog, providing them with ample attention and daily retreats to the Fells nearby. We always know that Lucy had a great time playing at Margaret's because when we get home, our normally energetic little attention seeker can be only found sound asleep in her bed."
