Availability
I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a car and am happy to visit as many times as necessary. With more advance notice, I can also move my shifts around to be more available for your pets.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can run around! We have several dog gates in our possession as well if needed—they’ve been used in the past to separate more anxious dogs from my cat—and I am happy to crate your dogs according to your wishes or even aid in crate training. We have bowls of our own but would need dog food brought in. I am also familiar with grooming/brushing and could aid with that. I am very social and love to spend time with animals. If staying in your home, I will make sure to give your pets lots of love and prioritize their well-being. I will always reach out with questions if anything comes up.

Information Maggie O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or will require any specific types of attention. I am happy to work with any kind of cat or dog, but would love to have that information ahead of time to prepare my space/learn more about what caring for your pet will entail!
A typical day
I love to play with dogs and keep them active throughout the day. If they’re staying at my house, I know my neighborhood very well and it’s super walkable, so I really love to take dogs on long walks all over—there are great parks nearby too! I like to run with them sometimes if they seem comfortable doing so, or take them on even longer hikes. With cats, I am a big fan of playing, and we have many toys in the house. I will give then undivided attention and ensure they’re petted and loved on while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was young! I grew up with family cats and dogs and have always loved caring for them and playing with them. For the past ten years, I have been dog and cat sitting. I am used to visiting homes but have also housed many dogs and cats in my own home. A few summers ago, I housed and cared for a dog for three months while his owner was out of town. Over the summers, I frequently get daytime visitors when owners don’t want their dogs to be alone all day. I have significant experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I am extremely good with cats, as I’ve lived with one or more my whole life and am very fond of them. We do currently have a young cat in our home, so boarding is temporarily turned off. To explain the gap in my reviews from 2021 - 2023, I was at school and only home for holidays. I am home now for the foreseeable future.
Reviews
Maggie did a great job taking care of my two pups. She is trustworthy, reliable, and a great communicator! She let me know when she was coming/going, and sent multiple pictures every day.
Maggie was wonderful! She cared for our two cats while we were away on vacation. Her communication was excellent and she was kind and caring - our cats loved her! I would highly recommend her to anyone who need their pet/s looked after while their away.
Maggie was wonderful! Took lots of pictures and left a detailed report :)
Brownie and I absolutely loved Maggie as someone to care for him while I was gone. It was last minute and she was still able to accommodate me which really appreciated. I didn’t have any worries an she updated me multiple times to let me know how he’s doing, also with pictures which is a plus. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to your fur baby’s needs, don’t hesitate to book with Maggie.
