Highlights
Pet care experience
Pre-Vet Graduate & Pet Caregiver
I am a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Veterinary Medicine! Through my education, I have developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, welfare, health, nutrition, and safe handling practices. I have hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings, caring for dogs and cats of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background has taught me that while animals may not be able to speak, they communicate in many ways through their body language, behaviors, and individual personalities. I believe that understanding these signals and recognizing how each pet communicates is an important part of providing safe, comfortable, and compassionate care. As a pet parent myself to my 2-year-old cat, Theo, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member and how stressful it can feel to leave your pet in someone else's care. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind while giving each pet the attention, patience, and care that they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Trust and safety are my top priorities at all times when caring for pets. My background in Pre-Veterinary Medicine and hands-on animal care has taught me the importance of proper handling, observing behavior, and promoting animal welfare. I understand that even the calmest animals are guided by instincts and may respond differently depending on their environment and comfort level. Approaching each pet with patience, respect, and awareness is essential to building trust and helping them feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own pets. I am happy to follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication administration, exercise, enrichment, and any specific routines your pet follows. I welcome as much detail as you would like to provide, as understanding your pet's individual needs helps me provide the best possible care.
Ratings and reviews
I am highly recommending Maggie for pet caregiving services. Having recently graduated as a pre-veterinary undergraduate, she possesses an exceptional foundation in animal biology, behavior, and welfare. Maggie is deeply responsible, detail-oriented, and naturally compassionate, combining academic expertise with a genuine love for animals. She is a pet owner herself (an amazing cat mom) and grew up with multiple pets. She actually has taught me so much about healthy care, food and socialization for my dogs and cats. She has worked at a local grooming business and is such a hard worker. Her unique background makes her highly qualified to provide excellent care to your animals and knowledgeable guidance to your customers. She will be a tremendous, reliable asset to your team.Sincerely, Kathleen
Maggie watched my cat and dog, and was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Definitely would recommend for any of your pet needs! Her back round in pre veterinary medicine was definitely a plus.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Maggie I know and the care she gives to animals. She is one of the most reliable, dependable, and genuinely caring people I know. Her love for animals is obvious, and she treats every pet as if it were her own. She is incredibly selfless, trustworthy, and always willing to go the extra mile. I would have complete confidence leaving my pet in her care, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their furry family member with love, kindness, and genuine attention.
My sister is compassionate, dependable, and truly loves animals. She's an amazing teammate who treats every pet with patience, kindness, and exceptional care. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your pet's needs and dedicate quality time to their care. I currently am only booking walks and check-ins which can include playtime, enrichment, feeding routines, and companionship. I am happy to work with owners to maintain the routines and habits their pets are comfortable with. While availability may vary, I welcome last-minute requests whenever possible, as I understand that life can be unpredictable and plans can change.
