LOOKING FOR MY NEXT FURRY SOULMATE!

Pet care experience

I’m a HUGE dog lover, and have been pet sitting for years! I am currently working from home, so I have all the time in the world to give your furbaby all the attention they need! Whether that means frequent walks, couch cuddles, fetch, hide and seek, hiking adventures, going to the beach, or even just relaxing at home, I’m extremely passionate about giving your dog a warm, positive environment full of their favorite activities and mental stimulation. I love being outside so your active dog will be joining me on hikes (if ok!) and getting lots of exercise! I also love naps and movies, in case your dog is more the indoor-cuddling type. I am happy to take your little one (or your huge one) off your hands while you enjoy your trip or evening plans! Book that dinner reservation or weekend getaway you’ve been thinking about! :) I have a mellow pup of my own who accompanies me during dog-sitting, and is a built-in playmate! He is beloved by all of my friends and family and I have no doubt you will love having him as a new friend for your own pup! He is extremely calm and respectful inside, but is a huge goof who loves to play chase and fetch when given freedom to roam the yard! Your dog will love having a friendly, fun-loving buddy! My boy easily gets along with other dogs, and is used to indoor cats. He is about 50lb, but will happily play with any size dog who will play with him! If your dog is a bit on the anxious side, he’s happy to read the room and offer space.

Margarita was awesome! She communicated very well and sent a lot of pictures! She dog sat in our home and the house was just as clean as when we left. I will definitely have her watch our dog, again!

Margarita did a wonderful job with our dog Oscar. She went above and beyond. We couldn’t be happier with her care!

Margarita did a fantastic job! She kept in constant communication and sent us many pictures, which we totally appreciated. She was tender and loving in her care. Really, we had an outstanding experience with Margarita and can’t wait to have her watch our pup again. Would highly recommend her services!

Margarita was an incredible house sitter! She came and stayed at my home with our 2 dogs. They LOVED her!! She sent updates and pictures each day, so I saw how much fun they were having with her. It made going on vacation easy and I was able to relax knowing they were in good hands! Will definitely be booking her again.

I will follow any directions you leave to the T!

Information Margarita R. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs of all varieties! Tell me about special diets/feeding schedules, energy levels, favorite activities/toys, if you dogs like to jog, if your dogs gets spooked by anything, and anything else you want me to know! Please also specify your preference for dog parks, hikes, and your dog’s reaction to other dogs and cats!

A typical day

I love hiking, and if they’re up for it, I love to bring my Rover pups on short hiking adventures! They love the exercise and mental stimulation of sniffing new places, and my own pup LOVES having an extra pack member to walk with! If the preference is to stay in the immediate neighborhood, we will go on long walks and sniff every single fire hydrant! If your pup is willing to accompany on my jogs, we will jog! If fetch is the main interest, I've got tennis balls and frisbees galore!
