HYPOALLERGENIC HOTEL

Pet care experience

**We are a hypoallergenic home and can only board hypoallergenic dogs. ***We recently relocated to Palm Desert from Skagit Valley, WA. We are happily settled in the Spanish Walk Community. Our home is 1,600 SqFt, 2 stories. We have a small patio with a potty area but mainly walk the dogs in our community that’s very dog friendly and has a huge grassy area. We have dog bag dispensers all around so no need to bring bags. We keep it very small-1-3 dogs. All are good natured and get along well with others. We cannot board high energy dogs as we don’t have the space. Besides growing up with Labs including 3 litters and helping out friends with their pups over the years, I have been doing Rover solid since Jan 2021. We REALLY love all the dogs and taking very good care of them. They are LOVED here!! We board dogs with low to moderate energy, smaller to medium in size, hypoallergenic and good in nature. Though we love so many different dogs, these are what we have found work best here. I am also a runner and can offer runs or walks from your home for any dogs in need of getting more exercise, as well.

We highly recommend Maggie. She provided photos frequently and kept us in the loop on daily activities during our time away from our dog. She (and her son) clearly both care a lot for the dogs they watch and are great people. We look forward to booking with Maggie again in the future.

Maggie and her son went above and beyond to make sure Ginger was safe and comfortable. Especially considering some recovery from a leg injury, they took extreme care to ensure she was protected from any issues like stairs or jumping on furniture. I could not be more grateful to have found Maggie! Thank you so much!

Maggie is the best! We are from out of town and had a family emergency. Maggie was so attentive to our needs and our dog, who had surgery a week ago. I highly recommend Maggie who has a heart of gold.

My little guy was well taken care of at Maggie’s place. She kept me posted on how he was doing and sent photos. I didn’t worry about him at all while I was away as Maggie’s place was like a home away from home for my little love bug. I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is very pet friendly. They are welcome on the couch, beds and any cozy furniture. We have travertine floors and they like to cool off on the rock sometimes. I give them dog massages and cuddles often. I can brush them if needed. I make sure their water is clean and clean their bowls. I give the dogs baths as needed.

Information Maggie M. would like to know about your pet

It is important your dog is friendly with kids and other dogs. We usually have 1-2 dogs, occasionally 3. Also, we can’t take heavy barkers because we want to keep our neighbors happy. It’s important your dog is fully potty trained and won’t mark in the home.

A typical day

Morning snuggles! Walks in the neighborhood. Treat time. Cuddles, scratches and love is plentiful! Pup cup at Starbucks drive through occasionally (if allowed). Relaxation time to balance it all out.

I am home based. I drop my son off at school at 8:40 M-F. (pick up 3:15. I make sure the dogs get their exercise, are fed, feel loved and get play time if needed. I am always smart and cautious about other dogs around and will never let your dog off a leash unless fully fenced and safe.
