Pet care experience

Ready to <3 your pet as much as you

I’ve always loved animals! I grew up with a very sweet golden retriever and before Rover would frequently pet sit for my sister’s yorkie and friends’ pets. I work from home and love to take walks during the day, so I have the perfect environment to welcome a pet into our house! Unfortunately I occasionally have to travel for work, so my husband and I aren’t ready to adopt a pet of our own yet, but I have so much love and attention to give to yours!

As always, Margaret is our go-to sitter. We know Peanut will enjoy her stay and we don’t have to worry

Margaret was great with our dog, Comet! She sent photos and updates and Comet seemed very happy both in the photos and when we got back. I would highly recommend booking Margaret and we will try and book her again in the future!

Margaret and her partner did a great job taking care of Omar. I received pictures each day and returned to a very happy pup.

Always an amazing and trustworthy dog sitter! Margaret has taken care of our dog Bella numerous times now, and Bella loves being there! I trust Margaret with her care completely. Margaret provides regular updates, pictures and videos of Bella while we're away and has been very flexible about pick up and drop off. We will always see if Margaret is available for dog sitting before asking others!

Maggie took such great care of our Uma for an entire week and was very attentive to her needs as she’s undergoing some health issues.

Schedule

I work from home so I’m very flexible scheduling-wise. If your pet has specific times it needs to have meals, go on walks, or go on potty breaks, I should be able to easily accommodate. I already frequently go on walks and try to walk for over an hour every day, so it will be easy for me to take out an active pup!

Safety, trust & environment

We don’t have any pets or children and we live on a very quiet street - a great environment for pets! We also only accept one client at a time if your dog prefers to be alone in the home.

A typical day

If you have any requirements for your pet’s schedule, I’m happy to accommodate! They’ll also receive tons of cuddles and long walks if that’s their preference.

We will only watch pets that are potty trained. Because we are very light sleepers, we don’t let dogs sleep in our bedroom. We close a gate to the upper floor overnight and have dogs sleep on the ground floor, where they are free to sleep wherever they want - from the couch to their crate.
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.
