Compassionate and Experienced
Pet care experience
I've grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, pet sitting for others, and volunteering at animal shelters. In more recent years I have gotten experience working as a dog handler at a dog daycare and now work as a dog trainer. My responsibilities with the daycare job include playing with dogs, training basic commands, preparing meals for dogs, giving medication, taking dogs out to go to the bathroom/cleaning up after them, and handling both large and small breed dogs. Working as a trainer I have been able to observe training classes, practice commands, and learn about dog body language. Lastly, I am currently in graduate school studying behavior analysis at the University of North Texas with the goal of becoming an expert in animal behavior and animal training.
Reviews
Maggie is the best with our boys!
Maggie was fantastic! She took great care of Lincoln while staying at the house. She provided great updates and communicated quickly. Lincoln seemed to have a blast with her.
Maggie is the absolute best!
Maggie was the absolute best! We were gone for 5 days and she was able to stay at our house with our senior dog who is 12. She provided the best care to our older dog while keeping us updated the whole time. During our meet and greet, Maggie took notes on what our dog Olive likes, her little quirks, and everything needed to take the best care of her. While we were gone, Maggie sent pics a couple of times throughout the day, updating us on the walks they went on, eating habits, and play time. We would absolutely rebook with Maggie and recommend her to everyone looking to have their fur baby taken care of while going out of town. Thank you, Maggie!!

Safety, trust & environment
When pet sitting in my clients homes, the safety of your pet will be my main priority. Whatever protocol you have in place for your pets and how you wish for them to be cared for I will follow. I am very good at providing quick communication with texting/phone calls if you for whatever reason need to contact me while I am caring for your pet. Additionally, I can update you with pictures and/or texts on how your pet is doing!
Information Maggie L. would like to know about your pet
Any medical conditions/allergies your dog or cat may have so I can best assist them along with any medication they may be on that I would need to give them. Any likes/dislikes your dog or cat may have and if they are friendly towards people. Additionally, if your dog is good with other dogs so I can be best prepared to keep your pet and others safe while walking them!
A typical day
I will definitely be going on walks with your pup unless otherwise specified by the owner! Whatever toys your dog or cat likes I will be using as it helps me bond with them and also gives them much needed physical and mental stimulation! I also love working on training with dogs so if you already have tricks your pet can do or would be comfortable with me working on my own tricks with them let me know!
