Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine and will do whatever is needed to make them comfortable. I am very comfortable administering medication/ making meals if your pet has a special diet, going on long walks, playing with their favorite toy, and will make sure to meet their needs!
Ratings and reviews
Hi there! Maggie has been a fantastic dog walker/caretaker for my dog, Ka$h. She is a family friend and has often watched & walked him when I or my family are out of town. Ka$h loves her, if I say “uncle Maggie” his ears perk up and he gets very excited. She in general is a very sweet and caring, responsible pet owner with her own cat & family dog, and I’m sure would continue the same love & respect for whomever’s furry friend is entrusted in her care.
Over the last decade, Maggie has repeatedly cared for both my cats and dogs, proving herself to be an extraordinarily rare find in the world of pet care. To say that I trust her unconditionally is an understatement. Her level of dedication and professionalism is unmatched, as demonstrated by the extraordinary lengths she has gone to for my animals: Exceptional Care for Specialized Needs: She watched my 15-year-old, three-legged hound for several months while I was away. Caring for a senior, senior-needs dog for an extended period requires immense patience, physical attentiveness, and deep empathy—all of which she provided flawlessly. Unparalleled Trustworthiness: When I needed someone I could count on while I was off-grid for a week, I knew Maggie was who I needed. We flew her across the Atlantic to Europe to watch my beloved Corgi. I got the peace of mind my dog was in the safest possible hands. Beyond her deep love for animals, Maggie is incredibly resourceful and possesses excellent judgment. She stays calm under pressure, anticipates needs before they arise, and is immensely helpful in countless ways around the home. When she is watching my pets, I have total peace of mind, knowing she will handle any situation with grace, intelligence, and absolute responsibility. Any pet owner would be incredibly fortunate to have her.
Maggie stayed with my one year old beagle terrier mix while we were out of the country for a week. Our dog is high energy and Maggie took her on long walks throughout the day and played with her in the yard each day. Our pup was very happy when we got home and we were very pleased with Maggie's services! I would both reuse and recommend Maggie for any future pet sitting needs.
Maggie has taken care of my mini dachshund, Hedy, since she was a puppy. Over the last 5 years, she’s dog walked and house sat for me, the longest being 2 weeks. Maggie is attentive, understanding, and adaptable. She’s been able to handle Hedy throughout her early years and was amazing with helping Hedy stay on track with training. I can always rely on Maggie to treat Hedy like her own and keep her entertained and happy!
