Reliable Pet Care Tailored to You

I’ve grown up caring for my own dogs and cats, pet-sitting for others, and volunteering at animal shelters. More recently, I’ve gained hands-on experience as a dog handler at a dog daycare and as a dog trainer! In my daycare role, I played with dogs, trained them in basic commands, prepared their meals, administered medication, and took them out for bathroom breaks while keeping the space clean. I worked with both large and small breeds. As a trainer, I observed classes, practiced commands, and learned to interpret dog body language. Currently, I work a fully remote 9-5 job, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet(s)! _________________________________________ SERVICES I PROVIDE: • Regular updates with photos/videos of your pet to keep you in the loop while you’re away • Basic Training (reinforcing commands like sit, stay, come, etc.) • Engaging interaction with your pet (petting, playing with their favorite toys, etc.) • Care for Anxious Pets: I’m experienced in working with pets who have anxiety and can provide a calming, supportive environment for them • Feeding, re-filling water, and administering medication • Scooping litter boxes for cats and cleaning up after dogs' bathroom breaks • Bringing in any mail or packages • Taking out trash/recycling on trash days _________________________________________ 1 FREE MEET & GREET: To ensure I’m the right fit for you and your pet(s), I offer a free meet and greet. During this session, I’ll take notes on your pet’s food routine, preferences (toys, petting styles), dislikes (e.g., other dogs on walks), and any other important details. This is also a great chance for you to ask any questions and ensure you’re comfortable with me as your pet sitter. _________________________________________ ADDITIONAL RATES: I currently only offer house sitting. Rates can be found directly on my profile and are subject to change. • Additional pet: $13 per pet • Watering plants: $20 • Additional visits (other than the free meet & greet): $25 (e.g., to visit a new location, grab keys, etc.) _________________________________________

I know my pets and home are always in the best care with Maggie. She even gets my 14yo dog to play with her!

We could not recommend Maggie more!!! She took such good care of our one year old puppy, sending up pictures and updates multiple times a day making us feel super comfortable while we were away! She went above and beyond - leaving our house squeaky clean! We definitely will be using Maggie again as a dog sitter! ♥️

Maggie did a wonderful job caring for our pets and home while we were away. She had great communication and we appreciated the daily updates! We will definitely reach out to book with her again in the future.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As I work remotely, my schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the day. I’m able to take regular breaks to walk, play with, and check on your pet(s).

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting in your home, the safety and well-being of your pet will be my top priority. I’ll follow any specific protocols you have in place for your pet’s care. I pride myself on quick communication, so if you need to reach me while I’m caring for your pet, I’m always available by text or phone call.

A typical day

I will absolutely take your pup on walks, unless otherwise specified by you. I’m happy to use any toys your dog or cat enjoys, as it helps me bond with them while providing much-needed physical and mental stimulation.

Please let me know about any medical conditions or allergies your dog or cat may have, as well as any medications they are taking that I may need to administer. I’d also love to know their likes and dislikes, as well as whether they are friendly toward people. Since I work a fully remote job and take phone calls throughout the day, it’s helpful to know if your dog tends to bark a lot, as this can sometimes make it tricky for me to take calls. If your dog is vocal, no worries—I’ll just make sure to plan accordingly!
