A walk a day will keep the vet away
Pet care experience
I have never not had a dog in my life. I am a responsible dog lover who enjoys taking care of all animals. I've experienced it all. love and loss, chewing, digging and licking, aggressive and sweet, the playful and shy. We have fun walks to explore and sniff or stay in and snuggle. i'm experienced with medications, oral and injections and special needs babies. puppies to senior pets. I've cared for dogs, cats, small animals of all kinds, snakes, birds, and farmyard friends. I always brought home little lizards or strays when i was 3 or 4 to well into my teens. Animals have just always been a part of my life and i hope that never changes. I hope to get to know the animals in your life.
Reviews
Maggie has been fantastic! We did a meet n greet & a drop in visit both of which went great. We are looking forward to having her stay with our doggos for an extended family vacation very soon !
Great experience will definitely use her again very friendly
Maggie has been wonderful with our dog, very conscientious about the schedule that we needed, and a joy to get to know. She will be part of our pet care plan in the future!

This job allows me to be around different types of dogs and hang out with them and go for walks. ALL great things! I have one cat at my home, thus…you guessed it, I love cats! And all their quirky personalities. I am so happy to take care of your pets while you are away. I’m love long walks, petting 100 pets on the back, fetch over and over and over, and treating your pet how I would want my pet to be treated.

Information Maggie R. would like to know about your pet
Does the dog have any behavioral issues i should be aware of? Even if it only happened once or twice—the pupper will be more anxious and stressed while you're gone. Which means they could act out. Does your dog take any medication or have any health issues? How does the dog do with other dogs, people, and children? That way, if we want to take them on a walk, or to the dog park, I'll know if it’s safe.
A typical day
Most mornings, I’m startled awake around 7am by one dog kicking me in the ribs, while another leaps on top of me. I like to take the dogs for a nice walk in the mornings to get the mind working and the day going right. It’s not unusual for my days to start as early as 4am, depending on how many drop-in visits I have scheduled. After our walk, I head out to do my first morning visits, and then to pick up dogs for our daily play groups. Most clients choose drop-in visits of some kind, so those take up the majority of my day. Typically, a visit is 30 minutes and a client will either get three a day (morning, midday, evening) or will get one midday visit. The visits themselves vary from playing with puppies to scooping horse stalls and everything in-between. I care for all animals and my services are fully customizable, specifically because I never want two days to be the same. Over years of doing these drop-in visits, I’ve learned how to administer any kind of medicine you can name, I’ve been trained on how to deal with aggressive animals, I’ve helped birth puppies, and I’ve been with several dogs as they crossed the rainbow bridge. I’ve also become pretty decent at basic training and basic grooming in the process. When you spend all day hanging out with animals, you just become adept on talking their language in general. In the evenings, I provide overnight care for families traveling out of town that need more than a drop-in visit. I typically get to the home around dinner time and stay until it’s time for my first drop-in visit the next morning. I love doing overnight stays, not just because I’m getting paid to cuddle with dogs, but because this is where I really get to learn about other walks of life. They say you never understand someone until you walk a mile in his shoes, I say try sleeping next to their dog!
