Maggie is hands down one of the best sitters we’ve had look after our Great Dane and 3 kitties. It can be a handful sometimes, but she took wonderful care of them for 2 weeks. Our flight got moved at the last

Maggie was fantastic and helped house-sit without much notice. She cared for our dog and kept him company throughout the night. She left the house completely undisturbed. She kept us posted each day with a photo of our dog. Will definitely ask to her to dog sit next time we are away.

Maggie was great with our three pups. She did a weekend in our home and everything was perfect. Pups were happy and well taken care of. We have three big dogs in various life stages and they all were in good hands with Maggie. Will gladly use her services again for future trips!

Maggie takes such good care of our very attached dog, Champ! He looks forward to going on walks with her and we trust her 100%! So happy we found her in Napa 🐶

I make sure to get a comprehensive overview of what you and your pet need out of whatever service I am providing for you. I want you to have complete peace of mind while I am watching your fur babies!

Information Maggie S. would like to know about your pet

I do like to know about any triggers (loud dogs, dogs off leash, other dogs in general) and behavioral challenges I might encounter. This way I know to expect them, and preferably avoid as many issues as possible during my stay!

A typical day

I like to cater what I do with your pup to what they enjoy! I always love to take dogs on walks, hikes, or car rides, but if your pet is a couch potato that's fine with me!
