Pet care experience

Enriched Minds, Inspired Care

I go by Lena, formerly known as Maggie :) I provide calm, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m comfortable supporting dogs with a range of personalities and challenges, and I focus on consistency and clear expectations so dogs can settle in comfortably while you’re away. I also completed the full Zoom Room obedience curriculum with my own dog. That really deepened my understanding of dog behavior and communication. The same positive reinforcement methods I learned there shape how I guide and care for every dog that I meet.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s comfort and safety come first. Walks are kept to familiar approved areas at a relaxed pace with no forced social situations. I stay mindful of surroundings, weather, and energy levels so every outing feels safe, positive, and enjoyable. Clear communication and respectful follow through are part of every visit.

Magdalene dropped in 3x daily as requested to take care of my fur babies and kept me updated throughout. I left 4 stars because of inconsistent visit times / durations, but nothing that would put them at risk or make them uncomfortable. She communicated with me when she was running late / had to leave early and made up for the time.

Everything looks great we got home. The plants look great. The pets were well taken care of the mail. Thank you so so much. Will have you back again.

Magdalene was awesome! She took so much time getting to know our new rescue and was the first person to care for him for us. She will definitely be the one we call next time!

Schedule

I offer 30–60 minute walks and check ins throughout the day with a focus on quality attention, not rushed visits. I keep my schedule organized with enough time between bookings so each dog receives calm, present moment care.

Magdalene can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
• Typical walking pace and distance • Daily routine and preferences • Treat rules, food allergies, or dietary restrictions • Any sensitivities, fears, or triggers (sounds, people, dogs, environments) • Leash setup and handling preferences (collar, harness, head halter, etc.) • Commands or cues your dog already knows • Health considerations I should be aware of (mobility limits, medications, recent injuries)
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.
