Maggie was GREAT!! She loved and took care of our dog as if he was theirs! Sent pictures, took him on walks, and made sure he was comfy. Easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!

She did such a great job watching my dog! Super friendly, dependable, and kept me updated with how things were going. My pup was happy and relaxed when I got back. Definitely recommend!

Margaret was great! She sent me pictures of my dog throughout his stay. He had plenty of fun going on walks with her and. Margaret was very easy to get in contact with and was even flexible to hanging out with my dog for a little longer than planned!

Maggie was an amazing pet sitter- she took care of our Australian Shepherd and Golden Retriever while we were on vacation for about a week. We’re always nervous to leave them because they are so high energy, but Maggie was prepared to walk and play with them the same way we would have. Highly recommend for any pet needs, she is the very best.

It is very clear when you meet Maggie that she cares very much for dogs, she is very caring towards my dogs and is an excellent pet sitter. I feel like I can trust Maggie to care for my dogs like I would and she takes her responsibilities seriously. When Maggie is caring for my dogs I don't worry about them, I know they are in excellent hands.

Margaret has been a huge part of my dog Ozzy’s life since I adopted him 2 years ago. She is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to health and behavioral issues in dogs, and I never worry that Ozzy’s energy level, quirks, or my silly requests are too much for her to handle or change the way she loves and cares for my baby boy. In addition, my cat Ramona loves Margaret and receives the same love and care from her that my dog does. I could not recommend Margaret enough to anyone looking for someone reliable, trusting and loving to care for their animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I have plenty of space for your dog in my house. I do have a large crate if needed. It’s currently just me and my husband who live here. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice backyard space so your pets can roam outside as well.

A typical day

I love walks around Tucson and finding new trails. I’m open to taking your pets on drives, to dog parks if they like that, or just playing fetch in a dog safe area!
