Tail-Wagging Care Starts Here

Howdy! I’m Magen — a stay-at-home mom, lifelong animal lover, and former veterinary technician with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every size, breed, and temperament. My family also owns and operates two boarding kennels in Texas, so I’ve spent years helping manage daily operations, from caring for energetic puppies to comforting anxious seniors. Whether your dog is a zoomie machine, a couch potato, a nervous rescue, or a confident social butterfly, I know how to meet them right where they are. I’m experienced in: ✔️ Administering oral & injectable medications ✔️ Senior dog care & mobility support ✔️ Puppies, potty training routines, and basic handling ✔️ Recognizing stress signals, discomfort, and early signs of illness ✔️ Working with shy, reactive, or high-energy dogs ✔️ Maintaining consistent routines to keep pups feeling safe One of my biggest strengths is reading canine body language. Dogs communicate constantly with their posture, ears, eyes, and movement, and understanding those signals lets me keep everyone safe, calm, and happy. It also helps me build trust with nervous pups and keep confident dogs engaged and well-exercised. A little about my background: My love for animals started early with my childhood pets, and it eventually led me into a career as a veterinary technician — a job I absolutely adored. Between vet clinics and my family’s boarding kennels, I’ve spent thousands of hours caring for dogs in every situation you can imagine. I bring that experience, patience, and compassion to every dog I look after. Whether your pup needs structured play, a calm presence, long walks, medication, or just someone to spoil them while you’re away, I’m here to help your dog feel safe, loved, and understood. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. (Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian; please confirm medical advice with your pet’s vet.)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your routine to maintain comfort and consistency. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. I watch body language closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide gentle structure, enrichment, and affection so your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. With my veterinary technician background, I’m trained to notice early signs of stress or illness, and I treat every pet like family.

Magen did a great job with my two Teacup Yorkies. She went above and beyond and was very attentive to their needs. I would definitely ask her to look after them in the future. They were ecstatic to see her each day. Thanks for making me feel at ease knowing my pups were in good hands.

I worked with Magen when she was a vet tech. She is very diligent and caring. I would trust her to take care of my fur-babies.

Magen has been caring for my two dogs for over three years and she’s simply the best. Always punctual, thorough with updates and instructions, and incredibly loving—my dogs adore her. Responsible, attentive, and treats them like family. I never worry when they’re with Magen. Highly recommend!

There are not enough stars in the sky to give Magen. I trust her completely with the care of my furry family members. Honestly I'd trust her with my non furry ones too. Very honest very ,very loving and very dependable. Can't go wrong with her.

Please let me know about any medical needs, behavioral quirks, allergies, feeding schedules or routines your pet relies on. Lets not forget favorite toys or games to play. The more I know, the better I can tailor care to keep them comfortable and safe. I also appreciate knowing any triggers, preferred handling methods, and what makes your pet feel relaxed or anxious.
