Pup mom & awesome pet caretaker!

Pet care experience

Dogs are an integral part of my life and identity. I know a lot of people claim they are dog whisperers, but I genuinely have a deep connection with our canine companions on both a personal and professional level. Growing up, I always had dogs and they were a vital part of our family. My love and respect for dogs knows no bounds, and I’ve made caring for dogs my life’s career. I’m a Veterinary Assistant and a kennel rescue handler with extensive experience with all breeds. I’ve volunteered for the Humane Society, ASPCA, and a myriad of dog walking and boarding facilities. I’m also the proud mom to a Pit bull mix named Milo and he’s the love of my life. He’s super friendly and playful, and he would love nothing more than to have a buddy stay with us. I always say more the merrier! I am trustworthy, dependable and responsible, and I treat every dog I come into contact with tenderness and adoration. I realize how stressful it is to leave your pet with a total stranger, but rest assured your pup will be in very capable, kind hands. Like people, each dog has his or her own personality and I enjoy nothing more than getting to know each and every sweet pup. Their inherent ability to love unconditionally inspires me every single day, and I truly believe being around our four-legged friends keeps me young and vibrant. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so I can adapt my availability to best suit your dog’s needs. I’m most happy when I’m playing with Milo, so your pup will have a wonderful companion in both of us. Living in the city makes it important for us to get out and about, so your dog will accompany us on our many walks and urban adventures. What I love about New York is that each time we go outside, it feels like a whole new place to explore. There is so much to take in and it’s all that more pleasurable with dogs by my side. It would be an honor for me to watch over your pup while providing peace of mind.

Maggie is the best- she filled in for us before a trip last minute when our previous sitter had to cancel last minute. She was great as always about updates and made sure Auggie was in good shape all while moving around her busy schedule.

Maggie was so helpful to me and my dog Auggie. She did 2 meet and greets to ensure both Auggie and I were comfortable with the stay and to ask me questions so she could provide the best service. She provided consistent and thorough outreach, and was truly so reliable. I had an awful flight experience back home and Maggie made sure to provide assistance where she could in my time of need. Not to mention: there were terrible winter storms while I was gone and she made sure Auggie’s care was unaffected. Truly a 10/10 sitter and would recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

Information Margaret B. would like to know about your pet

I consider Central Park to be my backyard, so your pup will accompany me and Milo for our daily walks. I will never rush your dog while we’re out––I really enjoy being outside as much as possible. I find joy watching dogs smell tree trunks, fire hydrants, blades of grass, lingering over different parts of our natural environment. Beyond our regular walks in the park or around the streets, I love to cuddle with our furry friends while watching TV or curled up with a good book.

A typical day

If you’d like to set up a meet and greet, I’d be more than happy to introduce Milo so you can feel comfortable about your pup’s stay with us. While they sniff each other, we can discuss your dog’s individual needs, from his/her diet to any medical issues. The more information you could provide, the better care I can provide. I really pride myself in being open and honest about everything, so I’m happy to send regular updates by text, photos, or videos. You can say I’m a little obsessed with dogs, so it would be really fun for me to document your pup’s time with us. Day or night, I’m available to answer any questions, so please don’t hesitate to contact me.
