Safety, trust & environment

My goal when caring for pets is to make them feel safe and happy, whether that means a long walk, cuddles or just some companionship

Information Margaret B. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog interact with other dogs? Is your dog reactive? Do they have any medical issues? What special quirks make your dog unique?

A typical day

When walking dogs, I aim for parks and low-traffic neighborhoods where dogs can sniff to their hearts content. I can also help with basic training like sit, stay, and shake.

Patient animal lover + dog au pair

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Margaret and I would love to meet your pet! I am a lifelong animal lover and I enjoy being in nature, rain or shine. Currently working as doggie au pair! I went to college on the East coast but have lived most of my life in the great Pacific Northwest. I volunteered at Seattle Humane Society and am trained in positive reinforcement as well as dog behavior and the care of difficult doggos. I have walked all sorts of dogs, from shy chihuahuas to rambunctious german shepherds. I have been a pet sitter for many years particularly caring for elderly dogs with medical conditions and food allergies. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a casual stroll, I will tailor the walk to their individual needs. I am passionate about providing a safe environment so that your dog returns from their walk tired and happy. I also have experience with cats and small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats). I believe bonding with an animal is one of the most rewarding parts of life, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

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.
