Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionately providing quality care
I’ve been caring for animals for over 16 years. I am most comfortable with cats and small or senior dogs, but have experience with all breeds and sizes. I have past experience volunteering with a vet clinic and working with community cats. I am comfortable and experienced caring for cats and dogs with injuries, illnesses, and age related health issues. I am able to administer medication orally. I feel very strongly about providing a clean and safe environment for your pet. I’ll always be sure to clean up any happy little accidents that may happen. Being away from our beloved animals is hard, but you can trust they are in good hands with me. Providing regular picture and video updates is my pleasure. Please never hesitate to tell me what I can do to help give you peace of mind and assure you that your pet is receiving the best care possible. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you and your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment
During a drop in visit I will provide your cat or dog with food, water, and any medications. If the visit does not require that, I check all food and water sources to make sure they clean and full. The litter boxes will be checked and cleaned. If there are any accidents or messes, I will clean them up. I provide affection and enrichment for your animals. I will play with them, groom them, and provide things like catnip and treats (with your approval, of course). If you’re worried about your pet getting bored or lonely between visits, I can turn on some Pet TV! During visits I like take pictures and videos and provide you with those, as well as text updates. I’m happy to base my communication off of your preferences. If you’d like a bit more privacy and quiet, we can discuss when it would be most appropriate to contact you. If you want daily updates that’s no problem at all! I provide all these services during overnight stays as well. If you have specific requests regarding care for your pet, I’m happy to adhere to them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Ratings and reviews
Finding someone I can trust to look after my cats while I am away is a very difficult decision for me. Maggie makes this difficulty nonexistent. Her love, attention and care for my cats is unmatched. She provides meaningful and consistent updates as well as photos of them to make my time away even easier. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting services as I fully trust her to care and provide for my cats as I would.
Maggie was absolutely great with my cat! She got to know her very quickly, was very attentive to her needs, and my cat immediately responded to her approach well and trusted her. Maggie sent regular, detailed updates and left the house very clean. I would definitely work with her again.
Maggie was very attentive to our elderly dogs, who require extra trips outside, medication, and special treats (for dietary issues) these days. She gave them lots of extra love, and sent pictures and videos. The dogs were happy and calm when we returned and the house was in great shape. Maggie is friendly and easy to work with. We highly recommend her!
Margaret is absolutely amazing with our pets. Our 2 boys (dogs) love her so much. She is their favorite. She takes excellent care of them and our 2 cats. She loves animals so much and it shows. She even cares for stray cats that she comes across. Going above and beyond to make sure they are fed, safe and warm! If you want someone that can take amazing care of your pets and will show them all the love, she’s the one for you. She’s great with administering meds as well. Give her a try, you won’t be disappointed!!
Maggie has always been so great at caring for my cats tikka and basil. She has always loved them as her own and made sure that all their needs were met to the full extent. She is great at communicating and making sure I stayed updated on how the girls were doing everyday and made sure to send lots of pictures while I was away.
Maggie was super attentive and wonderful with our cats! Extremely caring and trustworthy. Definitely someone I’d be comfortable with watching my cats again in the future.

Schedule
I am currently self-employed so I have plenty of time to drop in for visits or do overnight stays. I’m available weekdays and weekends. M-F my day time availability does vary due to appointments, but my mornings from 7am-9am are always open and I have open availability from 5pm onwards.
