Margaret and Dermott kept our chocolate lab for us while we were away. They sent us pictures and daily updates on how he was doing. It was so reassuring to know he was in great hands! We will definitely be booking with them again!

Margaret and her husband were amazing with Maverick. You can tell they are really knowledgeable and love animals. She sent regular updates with pics. Just a short trip right off of I79 to get to her house that has a big fenced in yard. I felt completely safe leaving my pup there. Will definitely be using her again!

Our dog Oakley spent a week with Margaret. During the week we received photos and messages about Oakley. We retuned to find Oakley alert happy and healthy. We plan to utilize Margaret again. Thank you The Weavers

Margaret and Dermott were absolutely wonderful! We felt very comfortable and knew our pup was in good hands. Margaret gave plenty of updates/pictures to make sure we knew our dog was relaxed and having a great time. We are truly so happy we found them!

Schedule

Being that I work from home, I have plenty of free time to give to your dog everything they need while you are away. Your dog will have freedom to play with other dogs, if they are agreeable, if not, they will have their very own space if they want to be left alone. I can cover it all. Availability is confirmed by booking the time, otherwise, it is first come, first serve, so please make sure you book the time as soon as you can after meet & greet. Puppies and dogs that are not potty trained will be charged at my puppy rate as they require more attention to keep my household clean. Please ensure your dog is flea and tick free before arriving for their board dates.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives on a farm/ranch
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 3 dogs, 1 cat
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my No. 1 priority. Your dog will enjoy the freedom of running free in my one-acre fenced in yard (6-foot fencing) and enjoy living in my home with me during their stay. Dogs can be affixed with GPS trackers when they are outside, just as a precaution. Constant surveillance and safety for your dog. A veterinarian office is less than 5 minutes from my home.

Pets

A typical day

We have a morning routine of walks, feeding, and playtime. Dogs will have their own beds and designated areas for feeding. My large yard is excellent for playing fetch, stretching their legs, or basking in the kiddie pool in the summer! In the evening, they will have their meal and some relaxation time on the couch or a cushy dog bed (depending on owners' approval).

Please let me know about any past history of aggression, etc. If your dog has any special needs, medication, etc, please let me know exactly what your dog's needs require. If your dog has any special toys or blankets, please send them along to help them feel more connected to you when you are away. We strive to make your dog's visit an enjoyable one. Again, please make sure your pets are flea and tick free before arrival. No dogs with current contagious conditions will be accepted. Puppies and dogs who are not potty trained will be charged at the puppy rate.
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.
