Margaret

My name is Margaret Stack and I am a 24 year old student at the University of Groningen. I love animals especially dogs, I am an international student and so unfortunately I had to leave my dog behind in the United States with my family. I have lots of experience taking care of pets, I have done week long dog sitting at the owners home as well as taken in pets into my home, and then twice a day dog walking. I believe dogs deserve lots of exercise, outdoors time, and play to be happy and healthy! My goal is to provide that for whatever dog I am caring for. My own dog at home in the USA is about 10 months old and is a golden doodle named Ruby! I have cared for a variety of dog breeds, sizes and ages. I have also cared for up to 3 dogs at once. I also have experience caring for cats! . I will provide lots of attention, play, and love for your furry friend!
