Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters? Well, for starters, my experience in petsitting goes way back! I've been taking care of family and friends' pets since middle school, so you can trust that I've got the love and know-how to keep your furry pals happy and well-cared for. But it doesn't stop there! Here are a few special skills that make me stand out: Personalized Pet Plans: I believe in treating each pet as an individual, tailoring their care to their unique personalities and preferences. Whether they prefer belly rubs or chasing feathers, I'll make sure they have a blast during their time with me. Senior Care Champ: Older pets deserve extra attention, and I've got the experience to make their golden years comfortable. Whether it's administering medication or providing gentle care for their specific needs, I've got the expertise to give them the TLC they deserve. Communication Pro: I understand how important it is for you to stay connected with your furry friends. I'll keep you updated with adorable photos and fun stories, so you can feel like you're right there with them, even when you're away. Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I'll always keep a watchful eye to ensure their environment is secure and hazard-free. So, when you choose me as your petsitter, you're not just getting someone who loves animals - you're getting a reliable, experienced friend who's been in the game for years. Give me a chance to shower your pets with love and care while you're away, and you won't be disappointed!
Reviews
Fantastic as always! For someone as hyper vigilant as myself to be able to go on vacation and relax knowing our 4 fur babies are well taken care of is the BEST! Thank you Maggie!
Maggie D. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Maggie took great care of Booker while we were gone for the weekend! She took him on plenty of walks to get him exercised, gave me regular updates and sent so many pictures that I loved it see! She left the house in the same condition as when we left, and was overall a trustworthy person to watch our pup for the weekend!
Maggie was fantastic! We have three pups and one cat which can be a handful. They were super well taken care of and we could enjoy our trip without worrying about them or our home. We will definitely book with her again!

When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for their furry companions. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences, so I adapt my approach accordingly. Here's an overview of how I provide exceptional care: In-Home Pet Care: While at your home, I ensure that your pets receive the utmost attention and care. This includes maintaining their regular feeding schedule, providing fresh water, and administering any necessary medications as per your instructions. I engage in playtime and interactive activities to keep them mentally stimulated and physically active. Daily walks or outdoor time are part of the routine to ensure they get the exercise they need. Additionally, I clean litter boxes for cats and maintain a tidy living space for their overall comfort. Overnight Care: If you require overnight care for your pets, I provide a reassuring presence throughout the night. I follow their established routines and make sure they are comfortable and secure. This may include nighttime feeding, ensuring they have access to the outdoors or litter boxes, and providing extra attention and cuddles before bedtime. I understand that maintaining their regular sleeping arrangements and providing a calm and familiar atmosphere is essential for a restful night's sleep. While I don't offer care for pets in my own home, I am dedicated to providing a stress-free and nurturing experience for your pets in their own familiar surroundings. My goal is to ensure their well-being and happiness, allowing you to have peace of mind while you're away. Please note that the specific care provided may vary depending on the individual needs of each pet and the services requested. I am always open to discussing and accommodating any additional requirements to ensure the best care possible for your furry friends.
Information Maggie D. would like to know about your pet
When it comes to taking care of a dog, there are a few important things I'd like to know ahead of time. Here's a casual rundown: Hiding Spots: Any secret spots in your home where your pup likes to hide? I want to make sure they feel safe and comfortable, so knowing their favorite hiding spots helps me create a stress-free environment. Routine: Does your furry friend have a specific routine or schedule they're used to? Let me know about their feeding times, exercise routine, and any other habits they have. Keeping their routine consistent makes them feel secure and happy. Treats: Are there any treats your dog shouldn't have due to dietary restrictions or allergies? On the flip side, if there are treats they absolutely love, I'd be happy to spoil them a bit (with your permission, of course!). Training Commands: Does your pup respond to any particular commands? It's helpful to know if they have any training cues, like sit, stay, or shake. That way, I can continue their training while we hang out together. Special Needs: If your dog has any specific needs or health considerations, like medications or allergies, please fill me in. I want to make sure I can provide the proper care and attention they require. No worries about breed preferences—I'm comfortable and excited to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes! By sharing these details, we can ensure that your furry friend gets the personalized and relaxed care they deserve. Let's make their time with me as enjoyable and stress-free as possible!
A typical day
During a typical day with the dogs I watch, we'll have a blast! Here's what our fun-filled day might look like: First, we'll take leisurely walks around the neighborhood, exploring new scents and sights. If there's a nearby park, we'll definitely make a stop there for some playtime. Whether it's a game of fetch or chasing after a frisbee, the dogs will have a chance to let loose and socialize with other furry pals. Back at home, we'll engage in interactive play sessions that match their preferences. I'll bring out their favorite toys, and we can play fetch or have a friendly tug-of-war. If they're up for it, we might even try out some training exercises, like sitting, shaking paws, or lying down, and they'll be rewarded with treats or playtime. Of course, cuddles and belly rubs are a must! We'll spend quality time together, ensuring they feel loved and cherished. And, be prepared for some adorable snapshots because I can't resist capturing those precious moments. In summary, our day will be filled with walks, playtime at the park, interactive games, training exercises, and lots of cuddles and affection. I'll make sure the dogs have an amazing time, and we'll create memories that will make their tails wag with joy!
