Dog Sitting Runnemede

About: Hi, I’m Margot! I’ve been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 9 years old. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including pets who need medication and extra care. I am dependable, flexible, and truly love animals. Taking care of pets has always been something I enjoy, and I’m always happy to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I work from home as an artist, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I love being able to spend time with animals throughout the week, whether that’s stopping by for visits, walks, feeding, or just keeping pets company. I also have a cat of my own who I love very much, so animal care has always been a natural part of my life. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.

“Very responsive and was so sweet with my older dog. I was so nervous about how he would respond but she made it a breeze and my dog loved her!”

“Megan (and her assistant/son, Noah) were just awesome! With a cat who is diabetic and requires twice-daily insulin shots at fairly evenly spaced intervals, I have found it extremely difficult to find someone local who is both willing and able to take on the job. Throw in a couple other indoor cats AND a couple semi-feral community cats in the backyard, and it becomes even harder to find a responsible person willing to take the assignment. Even though she doesn't exactly live next door (more like 25 minutes away), Megan adjusted her schedule to accommodate our family through the fourth of July and even tended to our garden during a ridiculous heatwave. I was thrilled to find Megan on relatively short notice and am crossing my fingers that she will once again be available to care for our brood the next time we're out of town!”

About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.

“Alexis was a great sitter for our cat Atlas and our betta fish Simon, excellent communications throughout, provided great status pics, and was overall someone whom I would trust with all our pets. She will be on our regular sitter rotation going forward!”

“She’ll was GREAT. Extremely thorough. My pup ate a dead flower petal while under her care and she was quick to swipe it from him and follow through with my Listed vet and her own to ensure no toxicity. The texted me immediately too. He was all good! She took great pics and detailed report cards. She was flexible with coordinating as well. Would def recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs for 5+ years. I also have a small dog myself who is thirteen. I have worked with many sizes and breeds of dogs over time and am excited to help! I am currently working part time and taking some college courses. I have a lot of free time to hang out with your little dogs! I have a small dog myself and I know how important safety and care. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own!

“Courtney is the best!!! She went above and beyond to take excellent care of my 3 kitties and also to ease my anxiety about leaving my babies for 2 weeks. She was a great communicator and left detailed notes and photos every day she visited. She spent extra time with them nearly every day, which was great because the shy cats loved her and the attention she gave them! They opened up to her immediately which was really amazing. She even vacuumed and brought my mail in. 1000/10 recommend.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00

Please reach out to me if interested in a meet and greet! I am a full time teacher and looking to take your dog while you are away on vacation throughout the summer months. I request that your dog be on flea and tick preventative and up to date in vaccines. I have 2 dogs that are a part of our family. Throughout the summer we take them for daily walks and they love to swim in our pool. We have a fenced in yard so they love to play outback.

About: I have recently been learning different breeds while fostering. It has given me insight to which ones like what and what their needs are on a daily. I work from home so I have some flexibility in my schedule to do stuff throughout the day. I enjoy being able to help animals. I have been fostering on a regular the past year. I enjoy caring for and having the dogs around to keep me company too. They are fun getting to learn the different breeds.

About: As of Oct.2025 now, I’ve cared for other people's pets for many years but recently learned about & joined this Rover App( as of February 2025). I love connecting with each pet’s unique personality—whether through play, cuddles, or quiet time. I’ve cared for cats and dogs, from energetic to mellow seniors. Before joining this App, I looked after many pets for friends and family. I will only choose one family a week but if you have a couple dogs and/or cats I will sit for all the fur babies if they get along when you're away. I keep my calendar up to date, so you’ll always know my availability. As a stay-at-home wife with a flexible schedule, I’m able to give your pets lots of attention and care. With my husband and young adult son both working full-time, I can fully dedicate my days to your fur babies. I stay busy throughout the day at home—not sitting at a desk or computer—but doing chores around the house. In the kitchen especially. I am hopeful your pet is trained to be comfortable relaxing on the sofa in a nearby room where he can still see me. If you’ll be away for more than a few days, I do prefer to board pets in my home for consistent care—unless I dont want your breed or certsin personality at my house. If you have multiple pets, (like 2 dog and 4 cats I can go to your house a few times a day. I’m happy to discuss sitting in your home. I have a soft spot for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet is shy, independent, young, or old, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m happy to take them for one or two walks a day, or simply keep an eye on them while they enjoy some fresh air in my backyard. I’ll chat sweetly with them—or just enjoy peaceful time together while they nap nearby. 🔔 Important Allergy & Fragrance Sensitivity Notice (just added) I love caring for pets and visiting homes, but lately I have sensitivity to synthetic fragrances. Products like scented dryer sheets, laundry beads, scented laundry detergents, plug-ins (even if unplugged), and Febreze sprays (even if you didnt use for a week) can cause shortness of breath, burning of my eyes, and just breathing irritation. Even if sprays haven’t been used the scent often lingers on furniture, carpets, and fabrics and can still trigger a reaction. Because of this, I kindly ask that scented products not be used before my visit it’s also better for your pets and family 🐶❤️. Unfortunately, our yard has a few gaps and softer fence areas where smaller , 10lbs pets could potentially slip through, so I prefer to keep them on a leash and supervise them while they’re in my backyard too. That outdoor time also counts as part of their walk and serves as a nice potty break. I always respect their boundaries and take time to learn what makes your pet feel at home. To help them settle in comfortably, please bring their crate ( must be trained), bed, blankets, and toys. Also, let me know if they need to be crated when we step out for church, grocery shopping, or dinner (more than 2-3hrs or whenever not home) If your pet has special food, treats, or even home-cooked meals you'd like me to prepare, feel free to bring whatever they’ll need. You would purchase their food I give. We don’t feed pets from our own plates. I’m more than happy to cook any pet-specific meals you provide.
