Dog lover!

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with dogs my whole life! Grew up with two spaniels, started fostering pits and other large breeds during the pandemic and have spent tons of time caring for other pets in my life - family, friends and even new neighbors all have been able to rely on me to care for their dogs. I can drive to your home if there’s parking nearby, or I can also walk/bike if you’re near West Rox!

Maggie took great care of our cats while we were out of town. She was really communicative with us about issues she noticed with our elderly cats and did a great job with administering all for their varied meds and diets. We would definitely hire her again!

We cannot say enough nice things about Maggie. She was so kind and welcoming to our lovely dog, who takes a little while to warm up to people. Now our dog loves her and looks so comfortable in her house. She sent us the perfect amount of updates while we were gone, which allowed us to enjoy our time away. Highly recommend!

Maggie was the best with Finn!! We are so appreciative of her kindness and patience with our nervous boy. By the end of their time, he loved her! We are so grateful for her!

Safety, trust & environment

At your home I will follow all rules or restrictions that your pet is accustomed to. I’ll be very respectful of your personal space and clean up after myself and the pet if I spend extended time there. I am also happy to wear a mask full time indoors if you prefer (I am fully vaccinated and boosted). In our home I will follow thee same instructions your pet is accustomed to. If you prefer they don’t join me on the couch, I’ll respect that! Otherwise they will have free range to explore my home, sleep on my bed and frolic in my yard ☺️

Information Margaret G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions so I can research the best way to care for them! I am excellent at hiding pills in cheese, bandaging injuries and even carrying dogs when needed.

A typical day

I will follow your pets lead for activities they’re interested in. I love enrichment and can easily DIY a game or puzzle, I can take them on long/slow walks where there’s plenty of smells, or I can sit on the couch and cuddle. Our neighborhood has plenty of quiet streets so I love walking around the nearby blocks, or taking longer adventures to the Arboretum, the Pond or anywhere else we can walk to!

I am fully remote for the summer so I’m available for daytime walks during the week, plus some weekends when I’m not traveling to see family. In September I will be back in the office and only available Mondays, Fridays, nights and weekends - plus holidays! My prices are flexible to fit your pets needs and your budget! If your cats just need a quick meal and litter scoop, let me know! Or if your dog prefers 15 min walks, we can adjust! Just send me a chat and we’ll figure it out. 🙂
