About Margaret

I am Margaret Wright, Castor Bay local, dog fanatic and Volunteer Guide at Auckland Zoo for the past 13 years. Being a life long dog owner, I am very excited about the opportunity to care for dogs in the local area, who may otherwise be left alone during the day while their owners are hard at work or away on holiday. I work from home so your dog will not be alone for long periods. Your dog will be inside when not playing in the garden or being walked, and for overnight stays your dog will sleep inside. I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced garden close to Milford Marina and beach. The park and beach offer a great opportunity for daily dog walks and exercise. With my many years of experience caring for dogs I may also be able to help with some basic training if required. I am more than happy to send you regular updates and photos of your pet and their adventures whilst in my care. I look forward discussing your dogs individual needs to make sure they have a happy and enjoyable stay with me.

Margaret offers a fantastic service. I am extremely impressed with her thoughtfulness and care of our dog. Margaret communicated very well with me and is building up an excellent relationship with our dog. Margaret is very knowledgeable about looking after dogs and I have no concerns leaving our dog with her. Maya thoroughly enjoys her time there!

Familiar with dog training techniques

I have owned dogs for most of my life, and I have made sure they have all been loved, healthy and cared for. My love of animals has also led me to study animal behaviour.

I have been a Volunteer at Auckland Zoo for the past 13 years, which has meant I have had to learn a great deal about animals, their behaviour, as well as conservation issues.

I have experience with basic dog training and I am more than happy to assist with this if required. I am able to administer oral medication to your dog.

The safety and wellbeing of your dog is my top priority and I take my responsibility very seriously when looking after other people's family members!
