Professional Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
I guarantee I will be the most reliable and consistent Rover Sitter/Walker you will find on this app! I am always looking to go above and beyond for my clients. I am a professional dog trainer and can maintain your dog's leash manners to your standards AND work on loose leash walking using positive methods (balanced methods available if requested) IF REQUESTED. If you show me how you(or your current trainer) wants your pup walked, I can easily incorporate those methods into our walks! I'm happy to strap a treat pouch to me and anything else you desire. I can blend the perfect amount of sniffing and wandering while keeping your pup from pulling on the leash using positive methods! Is your dog reactive to other dogs? I have no problem bringing high value treats along and manage them through positive reinforcement! Have a nervous dog? While working as a dog trainer for a local company I was the only individual tasked at rehabilitating nervous dogs. I am able to read a dogs body language with ease which helps me set our dog up for a positive and nervous free walk. Recently, I was also certified as a Fear Free Trainer. Have a new puppy? I trained over 80+ puppies in obedience, potty training, crate training, and behavior issue prevention. I am happy with teaching the puppy a "go potty" cue and keep up good manners while bringing treats to reward the pup. Also, being a key member in puppy culture, I am completely able to socialize your pup to the world around us by using cookies and praise! Have you spent hours making sure your high energy fluff ball doesn't jump on people? I am happy to work on that using whichever method you desire! Rewarding good behavior or redirecting them is two of my favorites methods. Worried about the dog walker not being knowledgeable about prong collar placement, e-collar or slip lead placement? I know properly put on these collars and use them in an appropriate way. Also, if you just need a person to get out and get your dog's heart rate up with zero training involved, I am more than happy to accommodate. I graduated from the University of Kentucky in December 2019 and have since started a career in dog training for family pets and service dogs. Due to my vast knowledge I am able to be there for your dog more than the majority of the dog walkers in Lexington due to my ability to read dog body language and experience! For safety purposes, I care a Pet Safe to use in the presence of aggressive dogs to insure your dogs safety!
Reviews
Maggie is great with my pup! She’s awesome and has gotten me out of tight schedules. I really appreciate her flexibility and dependability. I know my dog’s in good hands!
Maggie did great with our Gumbo! I appreciated all the walk updates and pictures sent throughout her stay. She helped to calm my nerves about being away from him. I have already requested for her to return to stay with him.
Maggie was wonderful with my dog! I had just recently adopted him and she helped ease the transition of him being home all day by breaking it up with a walk. If I asked her to ensure he was behaving a certain way, she always made sure he was and sent lots of cute photos and updates! We will 100% be using her again in the future!
My fur baby Dakota just had her first walk with Maggie ! & she loved it ! She was expecting her! Thank u for your great service ! Highly recommended!

I love to mentally and physically stimulate the dogs with long walks, fetch, and chase. However, I adapt what the dog needs based on the dog in front of me.
