Pet care experience
Within my home your dogs will be safe, exercised, and lovingly cared for. My 2nd floor apartment is located near the Rochester Park/Paint Creek Trail, I'm within walking distance to Downtown Rochester, and I'm within driving distance to Bloomer Park. Rest assure your pet will have a fun filled vacation exercising, socializing, and exploring the outdoors, as I am able to provide 2-3 custom walks a day. My services are over night stays, dog walks, and doggy day care; I prefer if your dog is spayed/neutered and potty trained, as I have carpet/linoleum flooring. My home is safe and dog friendly with natural antler bones and nontoxic dog toys available. Your dogs can sleep in the comfort of my bed, provided dog bed/dog cot or kennel, whichever suits their needs. My goal is to provide a stress free environment full of love and comfort for your furry friend. A bit about myself, I am a dog enthusiast and within my life time I've been fortunate enough to have loved 5 amazing dogs from a high energy Pitt bull Terrier to a low energy Cocker Spaniel. Unfortunately, 4 of my furry babies have passed on but with recent changes I have added two new fur babies into my life, Gus a King Charles Spaniel and Elvis a Lynx Point Siamese Cat. Both new additions are loving, friendly, and continue to gift me life lessons and I am forever grateful. All of my animals have instilled confidence in me as a very dynamic dog handler. I have over 100 hours of dog training and traveled across the country to learn at Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center in Southern California. Not only did my diverse pack members guide me to understand and respect dogs for the animals they are, but also I gained the confidence and experience to deal with special behaviors and health needs. I take tremendous pride in the understanding of dog behavior and will love and respect your pet as my own. ***PLEASE NOTE: 24 Hour Booking Policy: Clients booking Over Night Boarding: If pick up is later than drop off time (Example: 9am drop off on first day of reservation, with 10:30pm pick up last day of reservation) you will be sent a Reservation Request for $27 Daycare Fee for the last day of the reservation.

Reviews
Maggie proved to be an outstanding choice for our weekend dog-sitting needs. She maintained open communication, kept Winnie engaged, and shared regular photo updates. Before the scheduled stay, Maggie proactively inquired about Winnie's schedule and medical history. Staying at our apartment, she went the extra mile by tidying up, even starting the dishwasher before departure. I would certainly recommend Maggie and look forward to utilizing her services again.
Above and beyond every time!
We left our dog with Maggie for a little over two weeks when my family and I were on vacation out of the country. Finding Maggie was a blessing and provided so much relief to know Lainey was going to be cared for and loved on just like at home. I received daily pictures and updates which was beyond my expectations. Maggie is truly the best and I would recommend her to anyone needing pet care. She is professional, kind, and truly cares for your pet as if they were her own. Thank you so much Maggie!!
Above and beyond! 🥰

A typical day
Living near Rochester Park, Paint Creek Trail, and DownTown Rochester allows for a diverse exercise experience. Personally, I have deep respect for the walk and the bond it builds between handler and dog. With each individual dog I enjoy customizing their walk experience to their individual needs. For example, a high energy Pit-bull Terrier may require a jog down Paint Creek Trail, in comparison to a Teacup Yorikie which may require a leisurely walk through the Rochester Park. Rest assure your dog will be properly socialized and exercised in my loving care. A tired dog is a happy dog! :)
