Highlights
Pet care experience
Young professional who loves pets!
I have experience caring for fish, painted turtles, salamanders, guinea pigs, parrots, dogs, and cats. Most of which are from childhood family pet care experience. My most extensive pet care experience is with dogs, as I have experience working at dog daycare and overnight kenneling. I love all pets as my own!
Cat care experience
Maggie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment building that does not allow pets, so I strictly work in your home and/or walks. I have trusted references to provide upon request and I am more than happy to send updates throughout housesitting pet care that I provide. I am flexible and will follow your instructions and methods in order to provide the best care for your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Maggie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my dog and my home, and I really appreciated how consistently she kept me updated while I was away. She was responsible, attentive, and always reached out to clarify anything she was unsure about, which gave me complete peace of mind. I would happily have Maggie look after my dog and home again!
Maggie was amazing. She stayed in our house with our two cats while we were on vacation. Not only were our cats happy upon our return, but she also took great care of our house. We highly recommend her.
Maggie was fantastic with our pets and our home. Our 80lb dog was so happy to meet her ahead of her stay and then to hang out with her while we were away. Our younger cat is normally very skittish with people but came to Maggie for attention, showing how comfortable she was with Maggie. Our pets were well feed, exercised and happy when we returned and house in excellent condition. I would totally recommend Maggie and will use her services again.
Maggie was fantastic - the animals were well cared for, lots of pictures and updates from her, and generally very communicative. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Maggie cared for our 13 yo lab/whippet mix for a week at our home. Maggie asked questions before her scheduled stay to make sure she understood how to provide the best care. She updated us regularly and asked questions to make sure age -related behaviours weren’t newly developing while we were away. Our dog likely tested her patience at times with night barking and pacing, but Maggie endured and provided extra loving care to soothe our clingy pet. The house was kept tidy and Maggie’s communication was always respectful. Thank you. We’ll look to you again for our future pet care.
Maggie has a passion for providing excellent, loving support to all animals. Her warm patient mannerisms, insightful observation of the pets needs assist her in knowing what the animals under her supervision require . She takes the time to give them the attention necessary to make sure their needs are met and follows the owners wishes. When our family pet was in hospice, Maggie provided music, treats, gentle massage, lots of hugs, petting, Bailey’s favorite toys and took lasting photos that we all share together to this day.

Schedule
Downtown Walker & Overnight Housesitter Because I am a full-time University student, my schedule is going to change in January. Right now, I am available most often Thursday-Sunday with midday availability throughout the week for drop in visits and walks. I am typically always open to house sitting bookings and can reliably spend the majority of my time with your pet! My busiest school days are Monday-Wednesday, though still having quite a big break in between classes (2-4 hours). For overnight stays, I happily base myself out of your home to ensure your pets follow their exact morning and evening routines seamlessly. Based right in West Broadway, I primarily serve Downtown, the Exchange District, and Broadway, but I am happy to travel across Winnipeg for the right match. Let's connect for a quick Meet & Greet!

- Please be sure to notify me of your pets needs, especially medications and arthritis. I would also like to know what length of walks you typically go on, as well as any other important information needed in order for me to provide the best quality care for your pet.
