Fun and Active Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have watched dogs overnight for friends and family for over five years, and through Rover for about three years. I also have a dog of my own who is well-trained with an exceptional temperament. I have experience training dogs in basic obedience, LOTS of patience, and a lifelong love of dogs of all sizes and ages. I live in a large apartment with a large fenced-in backyard where your dog can get lots of exercise. I am known to talk to dogs like they are people, and get as many puppy cuddles in as I can. I'm familiar and comfortable with all different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. I stay active and always make sure dogs that stay with us get the exercise and attention they need.

Margaret was such a great sitter to Monty while we were gone for a very hot week in Chicago! She made sure to keep him cool, thoughtfully took after him, gave him all the cuddles and followed all instructions. Monty was lucky to get to stay with her again! Great communication and we loved the photos.

Margaret did a great job watching our pup. She sent pictures and texts giving us the update. We felt happy knowing he was in great care while we were away!

Margaret and her husband were very kind to our dog, Bentley. Their little furry pup was the perfect playmate for our pup. They were prompt, response and very flexible in when we picked up/dropped off. We were unsure of our schedule and Margaret was great to let us come by a little later after a long trip to pick up. I will definitely book again! They are knowledgeable in dealing with separation anxiety as well.

This is our second time leaving our Roscoe with Margaret and it certainly will not be the last. It is such a relief knowing our little one is in good hands, and in a loving, relaxed, and safe environment. Margaret provided informative and hilarious updates that were very much appreciated. She has the perfect demeanor and skill set for our dog who suffers from separation anxiety. I highly recommend!
