I love being outside on walks. I'm comfortable with reactive/fearful dogs (as an owner of one) as well as working on commands during walks or stays. I’m very observant and have always had an intuitive understanding of animals. I look forward to taking care of yours!

Safety, trust & environment

I first started walking dogs with Rover as a grad student a few years ago when I missed being around my family dog. Now, I work from home and I still love the fun of filling my day with as many pets as possible! I know how special my pets are to me, and I would be honored to watch out for your best friend until you can get back to them.

Information Margaret W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a dog's personality quirks - do they get nervous around large groups of people or loud noises? Should they be walked slowly or do they enjoy a brisk pace?

A typical day

I love to get outside and stay active! I’m a great tug of war and fetch partner, and enjoy long walks. I’m happy to take your dog on a set route or explore different areas!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I've spent my whole life around cats and all sizes of dogs, from little dachshunds to my big 90 lb collie/lab mix!

Margaret is so sweet. You can tell she's a true animal lover. I enjoyed her walk recaps and photos. Thank you!

Margaret has a sweet, calm energy and my normally shy dog took to her immediately. Margaret is so knowledgeable about reactivity with dogs and her experience put me at ease knowing my girl is safe with her!

Margaret was so patient with our puppy! We’d love to have her walk him again and would definitely recommend her to other pup parents!
