“Prompt, professional, friendly, caring, knowledgeable and a nice person. We were fortunate to find Margarita using Rover.com; specifically searching for a sitter with first aid and immunization experience. Our boy, Max the Cat has diabetes and requires injections twice a day. During our meet and greet with Margarita she arrived at our home dress in business attire, and a note pad. After our meeting with her, we knew we found the right person to care for Max. Margarita arrived each day (twice a day) on time and provided care and insulin injections in a caring and professional manner. Max walks right up to her, and instantly bonded. It’s so comforting knowing there are dedicated people like Margarita who choose pet care as a profession. We plan on having her care for Max in the future. We highly recommend her services.”

The cats seemed very happy to have a friend while I was out of town!

I'm very happy with her service and would definitely book again.”
