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. For your peace of mind, I am fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates in addition to Rover’s guarantee. I love snapping cute photos of your pup when time allows. Some of my favorites are featured in my profile! 📸.

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 was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away, especially on such short notice. She was dependable, caring, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease knowing our babies were in great hands. Communication was great throughout, and it was clear she genuinely cared for them like they were her own. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!

Magdalene took such amazing care of our baby boy Beau while we were away. It was clear from the updates and photos that they had a great time together, which gave us so much peace of mind. Beau looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him, and we will definitely be reaching out to Magdalene again in the future. Highly recommend!

I appreciate Magdalene's preparation and commitment. She took the time to meet my cat, Kiki and ask all the right questions before beginning our booking. She was timely, friendly and flexible to meet our needs. Magdalene included pictures of each visit along with a lovely summary of how our Kiki was doing. We will be reaching out to Magdalene again when we need care for our cat!!

Magdalene can host up to 8 drop-ins per day

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.
