Love each dog like they are my own!
Pet care experience
I'm new to the area with a light schedule and am looking for an excuse to spend time with dogs and get in my daily cardio! I have a small dog of my own at home and have fostered dogs of every size. I love taking dogs for long walks and pretending to throw the ball during fetch. I have years of experience pet and house sitting--for family friends, colleagues, and relative strangers. I promise to keep your house clean and your dog happy! I have walked dogs of every size--including mastiffs, overexcited labs, and small chihuahuas.
Reviews
Maggie was tasked to house-sit and watch over my 4month old French bulldog puppy, Atlas, while I was out of the country for 5 days. Maggie was incredibly sweet and Atlas (who is usually pretty shy with new people) took to her quite quickly which was great! Atlas had been hospitalized recently and needed to take medication twice daily. Maggie was great at giving medication at the appropriate times throughout her visit. However, I would've loved to have been updated a bit more frequently than 1-2 times on Atlas over the course of my absence. Additionally, after a long return trip back to the US, I would have loved to come home to a more tidy apartment and clean play pen area where Atlas sleeps and goes potty indoors. I noticed several dog toys were left out, dog food bag was left open and unsealed, dog litter debris was in and around the play pen, play pen was not organized, pieces of trash where in odd places around the house, and food was left behind from her stay. If she had just done a quick once-over prior to leaving, that would've been great. Lastly, I'm not sure what happened while I was away but I returned to Atlas with him experiencing some tummy problems. Since my return I've had to call the vet and help him recover. Maggie truly is a wonderful person but perhaps is better suited to drop-in visits with dogs a bit older than the young puppy stage.
Maggie was a great dog and house sitter!
Maggie loves all animals. She has been walking and on occassion housesitting my dog Tulip, for the last several years. Tulip absolutely loves spending time with Maggie. Maggie is conscientious, reliable and wonderful with pets. If she had not just recently re-located I would still be using her regularly.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced in area and a neighborhood full of new friends for your dog to meet. My flat is very dog friendly.
Information Maggie T. would like to know about your pet
All I need to know about a dog before sitting them is if they are well behaved and if they have a history of aggression. I understand rescue dogs often have certain things that can set them off so I would like to know about those possible issues prior.
A typical day
I love long walks along the waterfront, making friends at the dog park, and exploring neighborhoods! I'm relatively new to the area so there is a lot of the city for us to explore! I am an expert at fetch and tug-of-war.
