Maggie was great with my leash reactive senior boy! I always get worried when he’s with someone new but she took great care of him. He got lots of butt scratches, treats, and walks.

Maggie was truly amazing and so kind after multiple travel disruptions. One of the pups was anxious/difficult while we were away and Maggie was very understanding and patient.

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!

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 don’t have any other pets at the moment. I can easily take your dog(s) on walks in the neighborhood or drive to a nearby park. We have a nice fenced 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!
