Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with an amazing courtyard. My cat loves to hang out and lay in the sun and relax. She loves to hide in the areas of the courtyard that have large plants. The area in Lexington where I live has great sidewalks and greenspace, thus a great place for exercise for your dog should they board with me.

Information Margaret R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, this provides me an opportunity to review and plan for the best care for your pet.

A typical day

For doggie clients, I love going on walks and playing outside. If my client has a fenced yard you can bet I will be outside playing fetch or hanging out in the deck. For kitty clients playtime inside or just snuggling on the sofa. I feel that brushing and loving on a dog or cat is a great way to bond if they are willing.

Margaret was fantastic with my cat! She made sure to stick around to ensure she got her medication and was totally willing to give oral meds if needed. I was so worried about leaving my sick cat for the weekend, but Margaret sent pictures, and videos of each visit!

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.
