Availability

I am a recent graduate from UVA and am staying within the Charlottesville area. I’m currently working nights at the UVA hospital, which means I am not available for pet care during the afternoon (as I’ll be asleep haha!), but I’d be more than happy to care for your furry friends in the early morning (preferably before 9:30-10:00am) and the evening (preferably after 5:30-6pm).

Safety, trust & environment

I take pet care very seriously and honor all routines that your pets expect/are used to. I have experience in administering oral medication and crating. I'm no stranger to the shenanigans that pets sometimes get up to, so if you have any specific rules within the home, I do my absolute best to uphold them!

Information Margaret C. would like to know about your pet

I’m confident I can handle just about anything your dog requires. Open and clear communication is very important to me, so if you have any comments or concerns, please let me know!

A typical day

I’m a big fan of exploring new areas, especially since I don’t get out of the UVA bubble very often! I love seeing where a dog will take me on a walk (with plenty of sniff stops along the way)!

Pet care experience

I'm no stranger to a dog that needs to be tuckered out. I was 12 when my parents decided to introduce a husky as our first family dog, and I've been running around with him ever since! I have been caring for the pets of friends and neighbors since early high school; I've looked after dogs of all ages and all sizes! I am perfectly capable of handling large dogs, even the ones that pull on the lead, and if your pet requires a little extra patience and understanding, I've got plenty of that too! Whether your dog requires a calm stroll or a more intensive adventure, I am here to keep their tail wagging!

Margaret was absolutely wonderful with my cat Queen, who can be a hard nut to crack, they became friends quickly, which was such a positive for me! She gave amazing updates and always ensured everything was in tip top shape with feedings and litter cleanings! Thank you so much Margaret! 10/10 service!

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.
