Margaret can care for

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs

Availability

I work as a full time in-home social worker but my schedule is flexible. My days consist of driving around town so if I need to stop by your home midday, that’s an option. I can also flex my work hours which would allow me to stop by in the mornings or evenings as well. I’m often fully available on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a medium sized home with a lot of open space for play. I do not own a crate, but I do have a large spare bathroom and this is where my own rescue pets have stayed after surgeries or while adjusting to their new home. There are several barn/sliding doors in my home which allow me to section it off and allow more space/privacy as needed. I also have a fenced in backyard and live near a nature preserve so there is ample space for roaming and play.

Information Margaret L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors to be aware of so that I can best care for them. I am patient and happy to work with your pet as needed.

A typical day

I personally love to walk and be outside so I am happy to take your fur baby along with me. If your dog is staying with me, we will go for walks at the nature preserve near my home. If I am coming to your home, we will prioritize outside time and play with your pet’s favorite toys.

Pet care experience

As someone who grew up on a farm, I have experience caring for a variety of animals. I also volunteered in a vet clinic so I am comfortable with administering medications if needed.

We loved Margaret! This was our first time using Rover and Margaret and would feel comfortable rebooking her! She was so attentive to our pup’s mood and if she wasn’t eating. She sent lots of pictures too! We would definitely recommend. 🩷

Margaret was very attentive. She followed our directions well. Befriended our shy kitty. Will definitely use her again.

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.
