Pet care experience

I love animals!

I would love your animals and take care of them like they were my own. I’ve been obsessed with animals especially dogs since I was little and I’m very good at bonding with them. I can handle all kinds of special needs. I have a Bichon Frise named Piccola, a Bolognese named Nennella, and a Devon Rex cat named Bacia. I’ve volunteered at A.D.O.P.T shelter in Naperville and having taken training classes there as well. I also fostered for Small Paws Rescue. I believe in clicker training and only positive reinforcement and I would be happy to work on training with your animal. I’m honest, trustworthy, and very loyal and I would love to make your dog a part of my extended family. <3 Peggy (nickname I go by)

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for your animals in their own environment and learn their routines. Keeping to a schedule/normal activities is very important for animals especially while you’re gone. I would make sure they are given extra attention and love!

Margaret is very sweet with our cats. Our cats like her and are happy to see her. She also gave one cat a pill medication. We have booked her in the past and will again in the future.

Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meeting set up to introduce her to my pup and he loved her. I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, and I couldn't be happier. Would recommend! Margaret was fantastic with my pup! We had a meet and greet beforehand so she could get to know him, and he loved her right away. While I was away, I received daily pictures and updates on how he was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was also incredibly understanding and flexible when I experienced flight delays on my way home, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Does the dog get along with people or animals that we may encounter on walks? Are they escape artists? I prefer to walk dogs on harnesses so please have one available. I would also need to know their daily routines, eating habits, behavioral tendencies, and health issues. Vet info, emergency contact, any information that you feel is important for me to know.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
