Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I closely follow any specific instructions, from feeding and medication schedules to favorite play routines, to maintain familiarity and comfort. I also believe in building trust, so I take time to establish a calm, positive bond with each pet, using patience and gentle communication.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, giving me a lot of experience being around dogs. With hands-on dog-sitting experience, I know how to provide the best care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I’m skilled at following specific care routines, ensuring consistency, and always prioritizing your pet’s needs. I will be sure to keep you updated, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

Margaret did a wonderful job! She is professional and has a calming presence that made our puppy feel very comfortable while we were away. We came home to a calm and relaxed puppy. It was clear Margaret took great care of her!

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.
