Energetic, responsible dog lover!
Pet care experience
I am 26 and am fit and energetic. My family has had dogs my entire life, and I’ve lived alone with a dog before, and my current roommates have dogs. I have walked neighbors’ dogs countless times, and have dog sat overnight on multiple occasions. I’m flexible and responsible and love dogs, and I’ll give them the exercise and bathroom breaks they need while being patient and caring. I love building a relationship with the dogs, and am available for multiple walks or play times. I will give your dog the attention and love that it deserves during my time with it, and go above and beyond what is expected of me. I am great with communication, and will always be receptive to any input or changes you’d like me to make! I recently moved away from the center of the city, but am more than willing to drive to get to an appointment.

Margaret was super easy and reliable. She took great care of my cat!
We had Margaret watch our three cats for two weeks. Since she lived close, we knew this was convenient. She was scheduled to come by at 8AM every day. According to the Rover site and e-mail, she came by every day. The problem we had was a lot of days, we would get general posts that she came at different times each day. We don't know if she came at those times, came at the appropriate time but reported later in the day, or whether it was Rover. Margaret took great care in feeding them and cleaning their mess.
Margaret house/dog sat for my two pups for a week while I was on vacation. She arrived when planned and met both dogs and myself prior to the scheduled sitting service. She was very friendly and seemed to get along with both dogs. While Margaret did spend the night at the house, she spent much of her time not at the house during the daytime. I did tell her that the dogs are ok with a typical work schedule (8 hour days) but it seemed that she was gone for extended periods of time during the day and evening times. I had to continually check my ring door bell camera to see if she was there because I was worried about the extended times away from the house and whether the dogs were receiving the proper attention and time necessary to go to the bathroom, eat their meals and receive exercise and attention. I wish that during our initial meeting I had been told that she had a very busy schedule and would not be able to be at the house very much. I did receive picture updates but did not receive updates in regards to how the dogs were doing (were they eating ok, sleeping ok, any changes in behavior, etc). When I returned home I was expecting a note or something to let me know how the week went since I was not told anything during my time away but did not receive any such feedback. I think Margaret is good with dogs but maybe would be best suited for drop in visits rather than house sitting for an extended time.
Margaret was great! She took great care of our dog and cat while we were out of town and sent daily updates. Would definitely recommend her!
