From the moment I booked with Margaret, she made me feel completely at ease. This was my first time using Rover with my newly adopted bonded senior girls, and she was so kind, reassuring, and communicative from the meet-and-greet through their entire stay. She sent daily updates, photos, and videos that gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear she cared for my girls as if they were her own. They also loved spending time with Moose, and her wonderful backyard! I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. 10/10—highly recommend Margaret!

Maggie was wonderful! She sent lots of photos of Cooper throughout his stay and kept him very entertained with walks, toys, and outside time. Hope to book another stay with her soon!

Our dogs had a great time with Maggie and her dog Moose! She sent a ton of pictures and updates, and it was obvious that she treats the dogs in her care like her own. They got lots of love, attention, and play time! We will definitely book with her again.

Maggie took excellent care of my Cooper, sending daily photos and video. Cooper got lots of play time with her dog, Moose, and squirrel-chasing time in the fenced backyard. Everything was perfect, and Maggie was super friendly and easy to work with. 100% recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

As someone who has used dog sitters, I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your dog in someone else's care. That's why I love to send photos and text updates multiple times throughout the stay, and am quick to respond to any questions. To me, pets are more like family members, so I want to make sure they're as comfortable and safe as possible. I have a large fenced in back yard, plenty of toys, and you can bet your pup will be invited onto the couch for a cuddle!
