Pet care experience

Paws Down, best pet care in town!

My name is Magdalena or you can call me Maggie. I’ve been housesitting and doing pet drop in care now for 9 years. I also work for cat and dog rescue with 6 years of experience working with a variety of temperaments, young and geriatric animals. My love for animals started when I was young when I lived on an ostrich ranch near Goodnight, Texas with many farm animals always around. I have some animal husbandry, socializing and taming experience with the dog and cat rescue. I have fostered kittens and cats until an adoptive placement could be found. I am comfortable with small and medium size dogs and cats of all sizes. I can also create add-on fees for other pets such as fish, small furry critters! Your loving pet will be in the best of hands. Cats and Dogs are my world!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to do a meet and greet before caring for your pets and sitting your house. I want you to be confident I’m a good fit for you and your pets. This also will help me to learn more about their care, their likes and dislikes and to familiarize myself with your home and routine if I’m house sitting or even just doing drop in care. I have experience with medications for both dogs and cats. I have also administered injections for a diabetic dog. I am able to recognize when a pet needs medical care.

Magdalena was very enthusiastic and kind, and handled our dogs wonderfully. She sent lots of pictures and let us know when there was anything to address. She’s a very hard working young woman; would recommend.

First time using Rover. I didn’t know what all to expect so left limited instructions. I returned to find my house neat and clean. It was evident my dog was cared for and he loved Maddy. In fact he looked for her after she was gone. She sent me pctutes every day I was gone.

Please let me know if your pet has special dietary needs, allergies, odd behaviors or special needs of any kind. Has your pet ever bit anyone or been aggressive in any way to other animals or people? Does your adult pet have accidents in the house? If so how often? I prefer working with adult dogs who are fully house trained, though I will be willing to change diapers on your pet and of course work with puppies to continue the potty training. You must have a pet that is established with a veterinarian or I will not sit. This is to protect myself, your pet and you.
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.
