A teacher who is dog-deprived!
Pet care experience
I have been dogsitting for different families for 15 years. I am a teacher who loves dogs and is passionate about their care. As my own dogs live over an hour away with my parents, I'm looking to fill this void! I live in Pilsen and am off for the summer so I am available in my own home for pet care or can travel around the city! I am flexible with overnight stays and am accustomed to adapting my daily life to stay with the pup(s). I'm very active and always love going for runs/walks and going to the park. On the other hand, I love cuddly dogs that love to snuggle up on the couch. I have cared from puppies to older dogs. I'm accustomed to giving all types of medicine and caring for sick dogs. I'm very familiar and trained with caring for puppies (even multiple newborns at a time). I have cared for dogs on strict diets and schedules and will always maintain the structure that the dog is used to. I also spent time as a volunteer for PAWS Medical Center. If there is anything else you'd like to know, please don't hesitate to ask!
Reviews
She was great with my puppy. I will definitely use her again
I’m so happy to have worked with Maggie! This is the first time my dog has successfully been able to stay with someone due to his nervousness. She was patient with him and I’m so happy that he had a successful stay. Her ability to work with dogs speaks for itself.
It’s my 1st time using Rover.com & Maggie was amazing! Abby & Ginger love her very much! I will definitely be using her to house & dog sit often!
We had Maggie stay with out vizsla mix, Parker, while we were gone for a long weekend. It was our first time having a dog sitter, and Maggie made us feel very comfortable having someone new in our home. She sent pictures and updates on Parker and was very responsive to texts. Maggie left our house clean and was considerate in little things like taking out the trash, etc. We will definitely be asking Maggie to stay with Parker again!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet friendly building that has a dog park on the property but also am one block away from a larger dog park. My apartment is a large studio. I allow animals on my couch and bed, however will only do what the pet parent is comfortable with and I have room for a crate when necessary!
Home
Information Maggie R. would like to know about your pet
Any information that the pet parent shares is helpful like general temperament, behavior around other dogs, daily schedule, etc. I’m very comfortable with any breed of dog and have years or experience caring for all types of dogs.
A typical day
In my free time in the summer, I like to be as active as possible. I am near many parks and open spaces for dogs to freely run and play and also have a car to visit further dog friendly places (like the dog beach up north!)
