Safety, trust & environment

I have a completely fenced and well maintained backyard. The fence is a 4 ft high chain link fence. Dogs can run and play freely off leash with my dog. For in-home cat care, I am VERY careful when going in and out and make sure everything is left clean and organized. I will interact/play with all cats who will let me!

Information Peggy D. would like to know about your pet

I cannot accept dogs over 40 lbs. We can only host dogs who get along well with other dogs and are not very high energy. I only take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family. if from the same family, I will accept up to 3 at once.

A typical day

Plenty of toys and balls to throw in the back yard. and a doggie pool for summertime cooling off. Mealtimes are structured to your dog's usual schedule. Daily walks in my neighborhood, and, if your dog is agreeable to getting in my car and riding with a seatbelt on, I take them to a lake with a trail across the street. But we have to ride a few minutes in the car to get there.

Pet care experience

(If you like your mom and your mom loves dogs) ;) It is not enough to love animals, you must also be honest, dependable, and reliable. *Housebroken dogs only. Cannot accept incontinent dogs* *Must be dog friendly* *Not best match for high energy dogs* I love, love, love taking care of animals and helping them feel safe and comforted while they are away from their family and may be nervous and/or scared. This is not a side hustle for me, but my main focus along with taking care of my dog and cat. I worked in animal rescue and fostering for 15 years and have had pets all my life. I am a certified pet sitter through Pet Sitters International. I will welcome your pets into my home and treat them as my own -they will be my first priority. My job is to help them feel happy, loved and calm while they are separated from their two-leggeds. And to give you peace of mind while you are away. I live in a house with a large yard, the back is completely fenced, and we also have a screened in porch that is great for sunning and relaxing. I am retired and now at home full time, except for when I leave to do in-home pet appointments for others, errands, etc. I have one dog, a senior Jack Russell Terrier. A pre-stay consult is REQUIRED at no cost. Therefore I cannot accept same day requests. Texts, pictures, and sometimes videos if I get something good, sent daily. For in home stays, if you drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening, a daycare charge is added for the last day. Hours: Drop offs and pick ups accepted at my home 8 am to 8 pm. Transport for your dog (5 mi radius from my home only) Nov - March: 9 am to 5 pm . Apr - Oct: 9 am to 7 pm. Cat care visits in your home: 9 am to 5 pm. Messages returned between 8 am and 8 pm. Meet and greets in my home scheduled between 8 am to 7 pm. Meet and greets in your home scheduled between 9 am to 5 pm Thank you!

Ms. Peggy was absolutely amazing. She kept me updated on my pup throughout the entire stay, and her messages were so detailed that I truly felt like I was there with Chloe. She made sure Chloe was as comfortable as possible, which meant so much since it was her first time boarding with her. I will definitely be booking again!

Peggy was absolutely wonderful! This was only Tyson’s second time being boarded, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was professional, thorough, and so attentive to his needs. Throughout my trip, she stayed in touch with updates, photos, and even videos of Tyson walking and playing—which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was safe, comfortable, and in great hands. I would definitely book with Peggy again and wouldn’t expect anything less moving forward. Thank you, Peggy, for taking such great care of my favorite guy!

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.
