Ready for Pet Pals!

Pet care experience

Hello pet parent! I have a huge fenced yard and a very pet friendly house right on the American River Parkway. I usually pet sit on my weekend so your pet will rarely be alone! I have 10 years of Rover experiences with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I grew up on a farm in the Sacramento Delta where we had countless rescue dogs and I’ve worked at a no-kill dog shelter with all types of breeds. I recently lost my beautiful rescue dog of 10 years who was uncomfortable with other dogs, so I am very familiar with this issue and my house is a perfect sanctuary for similar dogs. I am comfortable giving medicine and other special needs. I am very active, and love to hike, walk, and jog with my dog friends. Please contact me for any more questions or for a meet and greet!

Another A+ review for Margaret, who did a terrific job taking care of our two dogs for a couple of overnights. She checked in with us regularly, sent us pics of our dogs, and left our home cleaner than she found it! We will happily book her again!

Margaret did a terrific job checking in on our dogs! She was quick to respond, friendly, and made sure our dogs were happy and fed on time. We'd book her again without hesitation.

Safety, trust & environment

My (recently passed) dog and I have lived in many environments, from a small city apartment, to a ranch in the country. I will respect any care instructions you leave for your pets and can easily adapt my services to match their needs. Typically at my house, I will let them in and out to the backyard whenever they want and will monitor them outside. I will walk them out in the park, but only on the appropriate leash/harness they are used to.

Information Margaret S. would like to know about your pet

As a former owner of a skittish rescue, I like to be very conscious of a dog's comfort level with other animals. I am comfortable watching dogs who have fear/anxiety due to my own experiences.

A typical day

Walking, jogging, hiking, cuddling, playtime with toys and much more. I love to explore all of the parks around Sacramento, especially where I live along the American River Parkway in Rancho Cordova.

I usually limit my availability to the weekends as I work full-time in an office Monday-Friday. I am happy to do as many walks a day during the weekend as your pet needs. They will rarely be alone! Weekdays could be available for cats or very independent dogs.
