Special Needs? I can help!

I grew up in a household that was always breaking the neighborhood code with how many dogs we had in our care. We took in every stray dog that came to us! I will welcome every dog into my home and treat them as if they were my own! Your dog will join us, as appropriate, on all of our outings!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2026

Maggie was amazing with Moxie and made her feel happy and welcomed. Moxie enjoyed playing all day with Maggie’s dog who is very friendly. The big yard with lots of shade and doggie pool was a nice bonus. Moxie was tired out after this exciting outing—yay, woof.

House Sitting • Feb 28, 2017

Maggie was wonderful with my senior Golden Retriever, who required oral medication! I'm so relieved to have found her, and am so happy not to have to worry about my baby girl during my next trip.

Maggie is fantastic! Our dog Grady has stayed with her twice now and it is clear that she treats him as her own. He gets more than enough attention, love, and exercise (and we get lots of photo updates). We will certainly ask her to watch Grady again in the future.

Maggie's an incredible resource for dog-sitting and dog-loving! She's never one to skip a visit, and she's even been flexible enough to step in at the last minute when we really needed her help. As an owner of a pup who needs lots of love and care, Maggie's got a beautiful approach to companionship. If you're looking for someone who can fit into your mold, make your vacation feel a lot like a vacation for your dog, and who will be very responsive when you contact her for status updates, drop her a line! I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Maggie was such a wonderful host! Apollo was thrilled to have gotten all the snuggles and playtime in. For those of you just starting out on Rover, I recommend giving Maggie your business. She was so helpful and accommodating, making the whole process feel more comfortable for both me and my dog. Thanks again Maggie! Can't wait to use you again.

Schedule

I’m currently working part-time so have plenty of time to be with your pup(s). I always do at least two outings - one dog walk or trip to the dog park in the morning, and same in the evening. We usually feed on that schedule too.

I live one block away from the Berkeley dog park and Berkeley Lake Park. Lenny and I go out for a morning walk every day around the lake or the neighborhood. Lenny is very friendly and loves having other dogs around.

I would like to know how the dog gets along with others, whether they are house trained, and what their special needs might be so that I can take care of them just as you would.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
