Safety, trust & environment

I love to bond with pets and gain their trust. I make sure to read their signals and respect their boundaries while also respecting their owner's rules and boundaries. I'm very big on giving love and attention if dogs want it and taking them out to go on walks and get all their wiggles out. When in someone else's residence, I make sure to respect their space and their home.

Information Maggie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any medical issues your dog may have and how long they can be left alone for. I also always appreciate having walk/food/schedule info written down for house sitting gigs. Knowing if they have a favorite flavor of food or treat is always helpful.

A typical day

I'm happy to do whatever your dog enjoys, hiking, swimming, and playing ball or anything else. If they're good on a leash I'm happy to take them to walk/hike or swim!

Former Dogsledder, loves animals

Pet care experience

I grew up volunteering at a dogsledding kennel and eventually started working at the summer camp that was run there. In my 5 years there I learned a lot about exercising, caring for, and training both Siberian and Alaskan huskies as well as the farm dogs there. I gained a lot of experience caring for dogs with medical issues, older dogs and training puppies. While pet sitting, I've worked with puppies, older dogs, and very active dogs as well as cats. I'm happy to work with whatever training style you have for your pets and give them the best care possible.

Maggie was terrific with our big Maine Coon cat Chico. She sent daily photos and updates which was really appreciated, the house was well cared for, and Chico was relaxed and happy when we came home. Couldn't ask for more, and we've already booked her for another stay!

Thank you Maggie for taking such wonderful care of our older kitty, Koko. When we returned home, Koko was calm and relaxed. Normally, it takes her a while to adjust when we are away. I highly recommend Maggie from a taking care of my pet and respecting our home.
