Maggie was the absolute best! Got my Cocoa to eat well and gave her medication. Lots of fun pictures to see that she was okay!

I felt like Maggie went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of while we were away. I loved receiving regular updates and adorable photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Maggie is a true animal lover, and our dog felt at home. I recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

I couldn’t be more impressed with the care and attention my dog received while I was away! Maggie did an absolutely fantastic job of looking after my pup—keeping him happy, and well-cared for. From daily walks and even following my dog’s special routines. It was clear that Maggie genuinely cares about animals. I came home to a relaxed, healthy dog who clearly felt loved and comfortable. Highly recommend! 10/10 would trust again.

Maggie was great with my dog Cassie. Her little dog Rocket is a sweetheart & my pooch felt very safe there. Great stay!

When I picked up my little floof, I was holding her as Maggie and I debriefed, and my little darling reached over to give Maggie kisses on the cheek. That says it all.

Safety, trust & environment

I stay attentive while caring for your furry friend. It is important that each pet feels safe and cared for, especially when their daily routines are being interrupted in a new setting. Lots of reassurance, plenty of belly rubs, and ample daily exercise will ensure that your pet stays happy and healthy in my care.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I stay aware of the mood and spirit of each animal. If your pet is overly excitable (i.e., is able to jump fences, etc.), I will want to prepare their experience accordingly. If your pet prefers a special toy or a favorite blanket, please have it available to ensure a comfortable and reassuring experience. Since I have a dog of my own, I am prepared to adjust all feeding and activity schedules as necessary to ensure that everybody has a happy, healthy time.
