I WFH & grew up with dogs.
Pet care experience
I’ve owned dogs dogs my entire life and visit my parent’s multiple times a week. As a child, and still to this day, I’ve always been the one to train my family and friends dog (e.g., basic commands, center, heel, play dead)! I’m quite athletic and enjoy going on long hikes/runs with my dogs, play tug o’ war, training new tricks, and snuggling with them at night. I understand animal body language and do not get nervous around reactive dogs, taking the necessary precautions to prevent an accident. If you’re interested, I’d prefer to do a meet and greet prior to accepting a booking, or conversing to understand your animal, their routine, and its needs.
Reviews
Maggie is our favorite! We have used her repeatedly and she takes amazing care of our dogs and our house. Sends updates and our dogs have so much fun with her. Great communication and care! Thanks Maggie!!
Maggie was a great sitter! I felt she was very responsible, knowledgeable, and trusting to take good care of my one year old pup. She did Winston's favorite activities with him and he loved her company.
Maggie took great care of our house and dog. She’s very responsible, responsive and loves to cuddle and play with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Molly in her care and she helped quarterback some house issues while we were away. Maggie was very attentive and communicated with us the whole time she was staying with our dog.
Maggie is awesome! She took great care of our pups and our house! Sent us updates and photos while we were gone. Our dogs had a great time with her and we are looking forward to having her back. Thanks Maggie!! We appreciate you!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will provide an active environment, more active with high energy/drive breeds, maintain a tidy and safe environment, and give snuggles and love at the end of the night before bed.
Information Maggie S. would like to know about your pet
Socialization/reactivity with other people, cats, dogs, children, etc. Physical limitations, health concerns, ability to listen to certain commands, and temperament. I will ask several necessary questions in order to know the animals day-to-day lifestyle/schedule.
A typical day
For me, it all depends on the dog; but in general, we’ll go for walks in the morning, lunch, and evening. Activities can include: fetch on a 20ft leash at a baseball diamond, throwing the toy inside/outside, training (if you’d like), long 1+ mile walks/jogs, and (of course) lots of playing! Important Note: the above depends on the owner’s preference, dog’s temperament, age, physical limitations, and ability to listen to commands.

Availability
I work from home 100% of the time and am able to work from anywhere with reliable wifi! I enjoy doing outdoors activities (I.e., hiking, walks, going to the beach and swimming), and can match a dog’s activity level.
