Walk your dog? I'll hike your dog!

Pet care experience

My name is Maggie and I've been taking care of other people's pets (as well as my own) since I was 7. I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my teens and then worked at a dog kennel for 2 years in college. I also volunteered for the Canine Socialization Project, socializing dogs in research studies so they're adoptable when the study is over. I've truly enjoyed all of this work, because dogs are the best! Unfortunately, my current housing situation doesn't allow dogs, and it's so hard to live without one. Especially because I live a very active lifestyle and frequently go hiking and rollerblading - without a dog! Seems like a waste to me. I'd love to bring your dog along with me on some adventures and get a good workout for both of us! In addition to all of this, I have a biology degree with a concentration in animal behavior so I'm prepared to handle any situation with your dog. Unfortunately, if your dog cannot be left alone for an entire work day, I might not be your best match because I work from 8-5 in Fort Collins.

Maggie is awesome! I have older, sometimes needy pets and Maggie was great with them! She sent pictures from each visit and my pets looked very happy and well cared for each time! She spent a good bit of time each visit and my dogs were definitely less stressed than when boarded. I will absolutely call on Maggie again when I need a pet sitter!

Maggie was wonderful! Very responsive and responsible. Our dog really doesn't like to ride in the car lately, but he had no problem jumping into her car and going for a nice hike at Lory! She sent me several photos during the weekend, and I could tell Al was having a blast. I will absolutely book Maggie again. We felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of our home.

Maggie was excellent with our somewhat needy pets! She obviously loves dogs, dealt with an excitable puppy and a grumpy old girl at the same time. She sent pics and kept us informed the whole time. She stayed at our home and left it exactly as she found it. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!

Maggie worked for me at a dog boarding facility, that I own. She has a wonderful way with dogs! She was always compassionate and caring and paid attention to the individual dog's needs. If they wanted to play fetch, she was game, if they wanted to snuggle, she was on the ground with the pup in her lap. Maggie was always reliable and had great work ethic, even though she was very young when she worked for me. I would trust her 100% to take care of my own dogs, anytime! You will be lucky to have Maggie!

Information Maggie S. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know how your dog interacts with other dogs and if he/she has any aggressive behaviors so I can avoid triggers. No breed preferences here!

A typical day

I get off work everyday at 2pm and after that I'm free to walk your pup! I love to go hiking and it seems like a waste to not bring a dog with me so I'm happy to bring your dog along and bring them back good and tired! I also like to roller blade so if your dog is a runner, we'll head down the Poudre Trail together. If I'm house sitting and your dog is sociable, I'm happy to bring him/her out with me wherever I go.
