Highlights
Pet care experience
Enriched Minds, Inspired Care
Pet Tech® PetSaver™ Certified in Pet CPR & First Aid I’m trained in canine and feline CPR, first aid, choking response, emergency assessment, and recognizing situations that require immediate veterinary 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.
Cat care experience
Magdalene also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of my little girl!
Magdalene was great with our 2 kitties. She was very responsive and great to work with.
Lena was great with our pups! Great communication and flexibility too. We appreciate the care and attention she provided for them!
Great as always! Was able to help me out when I had to urgently leave town.
Lena took good care of our dog Blondie. We highly recommend!
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.

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.
