Information Maggie S. would like to know about your pet

I need dogs to be housetrained. I need to know if they have any special likes or dislikes Only small dogs as my home is very comfortable but not ideal for large dogs. Does your dog suffer any ailments or anxiety. Preferably not a dog that barks a lot as we have neighbors on both sides of our townhome.

A typical day

I love to take pets out, especially to the green near the house where we can play whatever your pet enjoys. If pets are older and don't want to walk so much, they will get plenty of loving with me.

Pet care experience

After several years caring for dogs in the USA and abroad, I look forward to continuing my love of these wonderful animals by caring for your pet at my home. Over the past year I have had to say goodbye to our two gorgeous elderly dogs. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac and have plenty of spare time. I can guarantee your pet will be cared for in a responsible and loving manner. Willing to care for one dog overnight or for longer periods, or possibly two if they are the same family. My main requirement is that your pets be fully housetrained. Although I don't have a fenced yard, there is a huge expanse of green in the subdivision where dogs can run on a long leash.

Maggie is the best we’ve ever had with our very senior dog. She and her husband have the most caring touch and gentle demeanor to deal with those eccentricities that older dogs have. They truly do the extra mile!

Maggie is the perfect sitter for our senior dog! I always have such peace of mind leaving her there when our family travels. I can't recommend her enough!

We used Maggie back in 2021, and when we reached out again recently, she still remembered us—and even had all of Coffee and Miso’s info saved. That really meant a lot and shows how thoughtful and organized she is. As always, she took amazing care of our dogs. Coffee (the wild one) and Miso (the calm one) were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when we picked them up. Maggie kept us updated while we were away, and we never had to worry. She’s warm, reliable, and just so great with animals. We’re really grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
