Pet care experience
Are you going on vacation or on a business trip? Do your babies have separation anxiety, and need someone to be with them without leaving? Do you need a couple of hours away for work, to run errands, or have a date night? Do you have a house full, please let me know and let’s talk. I'm here to help! Luckily I’ve always had fur in my life! I have personal experience with a literal house full of animals, from dogs, cats, birds, fish, rats, snakes, gerbils, guinea pigs, prairie dogs, and chickens. For the past 7 years, I've been a full-time house mom for our beautiful granddaughter and A-Ma-Zing rescues!!! If someone is with me during a visit it will be my spouse or my granddaughter, no one else. When able I will stick to your baby's normal routine as closely as possible, so I like it when you leave me a schedule! I wouldn't want to accidentally untrain anyone. I have an open flexible schedule. If you need me, I am there. Please be open with me about what you need and I will be honest with you in my abilities to fulfill these needs. I am not afraid to ask questions, so if I am unsure of something, I'll text, and generally will not need an immediate reply. I will always use my best judgment. If I do have an urgent matter, I will call.
Reviews
Maggie did an amazing job with Bucky, kept him company, played with him, took him for walks, gave him lots of affection and attention. Will definitely be hiring again for in home dog sitting! Amazing job!
Maggie is the best! I’ve had two short notice trips that she supported, and the dogs love her!
Maggie stopped in throughout the weekend to watch our lab and dachshund. She was very communicative, timely, and took great care of the dogs. We received lots of great pictures during each visit and she left some nice treat for them. Thanks Maggie!
Maggie stayed with our two small dogs for 4 days. She did a great job - adapting to the unique personalities of the dogs. I recommend her without qualification!

Safety, trust & environment
Understanding a dog's temperament and background beforehand is important. ~ Do y’all need snuggles? Fabulous! Can’t wait! Feedings? Done ~ Potty breaks and/or clean up? No problem. Litter boxes? I can check/clean them. ~ Do you need your babies in crates? Can do. What words do you use to get them in? ~ Do you have a Houdini? We have an escape artist, so I am always very careful about entering and exiting so nobody slips past, because I know how sneaky a dedicated escapist can be with door rushing, digging, jumping fences, etc. ~ Meds are needed? Got it! Do you have any tricks or tips to make this easier for all? I’d love to hear it. ~ You want lots of pictures? With joy!!!! I love to send photos and will usually do so whenever something cute happens, but if you prefer one update at the end of the day so your phone doesn't ping all day, let me know. *There’d be more pictures of me with furbabies for you to see on my profile but I’m always the one taking them. ~ Want updates? Gladly! Just one at end of day or with each visit? ~ Let me know what you need, want, would like for your babies!!! Can’t wait to hear about the quirks, routines, needs, and things that just make life easier and better for them, you and me. - What are their favorite activities? Do they enjoy playing with a specific toy? Are they a fan of belly rubs, tug-o-war, lap sits, scratches, or snuggles? - Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they sleep in the bed with you? What naughty habits should I watch for, if any? Trust me, I won't be frighten away. - Let me know if you use any specific words or commands so I can communicate without confusing them and remind them to behave the way they would if you were here. - Detailed feeding instructions are also great, especially if your babies have a strict diet. Please include what times to feed them, portion sizes, vitamins/supplements/medications they take and how. - Can they have treats? Do they have any allergies, dietary restrictions, or food sensitivities? - How well do they walk on a leash, if we’re going on walks? - Do your babies have any special needs, triggers, fears, anxiety, or preferences I should know about? Are they scared of thunderstorms or fireworks, treat or food guarding/stealing, etc.
Information Maggie B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if anyone has any special needs. I’m well-versed in rescues, kittens, puppies, as well as senior cat and dog care. I will respect how you like things done, open communication is very important. I can be slow, careful, gentle, eager, silly... I can be what they need. Hope to see you soon!
A typical day
Ball throwing, frisbees, tug-o-wars, wrestling, pool time, running around the house or yard, this I will gladly do. Just chilling, snuggling, and getting some serious TLC, can’t wait! Yes, please!
