I will treat your pets like family.
Pet care experience
I am retired and a huge enthusiastic dog and cat lover. I absolutely adore dogs and cats. I really enjoy playing with, holding, cuddling and taking loving care of each one of them. I’m pretty sure that all dogs and most cats love me as well. I have always taken care of dogs for friends and family. A couple of years ago, I received an invitation to partner with Rover. It has been an amazing experience. Not only have I met some very nice and interesting people and amazing dogs and cats, I have a lot of professional support and Rover’s Worry Free Guarantee. In addition I have my own pet sitting insurance as well. I want my dog parents and their dogs and cats to trust me. I want both my houseguests and their humans to feel comfortable and secure that while in my care they will be safe and loved at all times. I can assure them that I will care for their pets in the same way that I care for my own pets in a very loving, caring, respectable manner. Their pet's safety as well as my own pet's safety will be my utmost of concern. I fully understand and can relate to a pets owners, love for their animals. I want them to be able to absolutely know that I always do the right thing for their fur babies and be able to rest assured that their beloved pets will be safe, secure and will receive an extra amount of loving care while in my care. I fully understand that some of my furry houseguests have never been left before at a sitters home. So I will do whatever it takes to make your baby feel loved at all times while in my care. I really like to treat my visiting dogs and cats as house guests. I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies behind but understandably sometimes it is necessary. Therefore I will always be happy to send pictures and videos daily on how your fur babies are doing. If this is your first Rover stay, please remember to ask me for my promo code and you will receive $20 off your first Rover overnight visit with me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members.
Reviews
Harimau, my Singapura cat, goes on and on about what a wonderful time he had during his six-day stay with Maggie! We have been boarding with Maggie, several times a year, for a number of years now, and she has always provided the highest level of loving care. I’m sure there will be many more memorable stays ahead for Har’!
Maggie is great about updates every day-which is so nice. Especially when you’re feeling guilty about leaving your pal-photos of him having a great time really help!
Maggie was a delight. Daily updates showed Toby was clearly having the time of his life. Toby can’t wait to see her again! Thanks, “Aunt” Maggie!
Maggie was excellent with my little guy he looked very content! She sent us videos and pictures which was very thoughtful.

I own my own home and have a large yard completely enclosed by a 6 foot fence. All of my doors have an extra gate to prevent possible bolting dogs, I must be informed if your dog has a habit of bolting out of doors.

Information Maggie D. would like to know about your pet
It is essential that I know about any fears that your dogs may have. I need to know where your dog prefers to sleep. Your dog will not be crated unless we discuss it beforehand. It is of utmost importance to me that any dog that I care for will not harm my dog or any other dogs that I'm caring for. I will keep an very close watch on them to make sure that they play nice. I will provide separate eating stations for each guest. Also since I do have a cat it's important that a dog would not hurt my cat. I absolutely require that all of my houseguests are current on their RABIES as well as all vaccines that are required for boarding. Please check with your vet for specific needs of your dog. FLEA prevention must be used on all dogs that visit my home. Proof of vaccines and flea prevention will be required before a booking can be accepted by me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Since my only dog is a small Miniature Schnauzer, I prefer to take small dogs. But I will always take well mannered Lab. We lost our Lab several years ago and I have a soft spot in my heart for Black Labs.
A typical day
I love playing with my houseguests. I have a huge variety of dog toys for me to play with my guests with. I love to throw balls and play fetch and play tug-of-war. It's more or less whatever my guests would like to do, including an evening walk. Then when everyone gets tired from playing. Of course I will hold your lap puppies as much as they want me to.
