Who we are.

Cedar & Hound was founded with one simple goal: to provide dependable, professional, and compassionate care for dogs and peace of mind for their owners.

Led by Margaret Garrand, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, Cedar & Hound is dedicated to offering safe and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your pet thrives on energetic neighborhood strolls or prefers a gentle pace, our focus is always on their comfort, safety, and happiness.

Margaret is fully insured and background-checked, and committed to maintaining the highest standards of care. Every walk includes real-time updates and detailed notes so owners stay connected and informed.

At Cedar & Hound, we believe in building long-term relationships based on trust, reliability, and genuine affection for the animals we care for. Our mission is to ensure every dog enjoys the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve — while you enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
