Highlights
Pet care experience
A tailor-made dog sitting experience!
I have been taking care of dogs of my own or for neighbours and friends since a young age, which developed into a small clientele of dogs whom I would regularly care for throughout my university studies. I have experience caring for puppies (and can confidently assist or continue puppy training) all the way to elderly dogs and am happy administering medication (non-injection). I like to chat with the owners before taking on a pet sitting job to ensure I know exactly what kind of care you expect from me and, more importantly, how I can make the experience as enjoyable as possible for your furry friend.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maggie looked after our very excitable 7 month puppy for a long weekend. She was excellent with him and he came back a happy boy. Great contact and updates throughout his stay which was appreciated after only having him a few weeks ourselves. Would highly recommend.
Maggie was fantastic with my dog who has some special requirements. Great communication throughout, really flexible and knows my dogs breed well. Highly recommend
Maggie is brilliant with Roo, good communication and flexibility, will definitely be using again!
We have trusted Maggie to look after our rescue dog George many times and couldn't be happier. She keeps us updated on how he is doing and the photos she takes are a bonus. She always takes him out for exercise regardless of the weather so he comes back happy and tired. Will definitely be staying in touch when we are in the area again!

Schedule
I am currently a PhD student at the University of Dundee so have full autonomy over my schedule and can be at home or take time off during weekday day times. I have availability over the weekends and evenings and can arrange my work to fit around longer sits if need be.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an enclosed garden which will be useable by your pet only. I live very close to big open spaces so can take them for any length or duration of exercise they might require. I tend to ask owners the specifics of how they prefer me to care for their pet. For example, any feeding/toilet/sleeping schedules, sleeping arrangements and whether or not they should be allowed on furniture/on beds etc. In my opinion the environment I can provide for your pet is largely up to you.
A typical day
A typical day will be filled with love and affection from start to finish. I like to keep dogs stimulated both physically and mentally based upon their requirements, so a day could look like lots of playing or training in the garden interspersed with bimbles around the neighbourhood or it could look like being taken for a nice big hike for the more energetic doggies!
