Loves Dogs as Family

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm a young professional living in Southwest DC. Here's some useful info about me that might help you decide if I'm a good sitter for your doggie: About me: • Love to be outside, so long walks are no problem! • Grew up with dogs (Beardies, Labs, Pits, mutts); • Volunteered at an animal shelter in New Jersey for 1.5 years; • Fostered two dogs (corgi and lab-mix); • Former co-owner to a plump golden retriever who is still my best friend :) • I freak out when I see corgis and need to make friends with all of them; • I smile at dogs when I pass them on the sidewalk. This normally induces tail wagging; Now, does your dog... • Need a bath? No problem! I can do this in-house or head to a local self-serve wash. This may increase my charge. • Have separation anxiety? I work flexible hours and can come home early or work remotely! • Like to be around people or need lots of stimulation? I live within walking distance of a dog friendly restaurant and lots of grassy parks. • Like other dogs? I have a roommate with a French Bulldog who is very friendly, but if you’d prefer, I'm happy to come to your home if that's more comfortable for you and your dog. Do you... • Need frequent texts/phone call updates on your dog? No problem! I specialize in dog photos. :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

Absolutely wonderful! Maggie took care of our golden mix like he was her own. Took him on long walks and to the park and on a hike. She kept me up to date on how he was doing and was fantastic with him.

Maggie is a funny and loving person, with a heart too big to fit in one room. I believe that, together with Madden, her inseparable and gorgeous dog, they will be wonderful hosts for all dogs in the DC area. She is also really athletic so she will be able to take them out early in the morning for some serious dog walks/runs that will leave them really happy and satisfied for the rest of the day...

I have known Maggie Dewane for over ten years and she has always had a dog herself, or made effort to be around them. She's outgoing and compassionate, which makes for a great friend to people and dogs. She'd treat them as if they were her own, as if the owner never left their side. The dogs would have just as much fun with Maggie, as she would with them. Responsibility is assumed as Maggie has always been self driven and motivated.

Hello, Maggie is a close of friend of mine and I can speak from experience she is used to be around dogs and enjoys taking care of them. I've been with her while she takes care of her family pet and have helped me take care of mine. She's always been responsible, trust worthy, and overall friendly person to be around.
