Reviews
We are so fortunate to have found Maggie to help us with our dogs. She is conscientious, reliable, caring and very knowledgeable as it relates to dog training and behavior. Our dogs adore her! Maggie goes out of her way to ensure that our dogs are well cared for and is an exceptional communicator. She is responsive to our needs and very accommodating. It gives us such peace of mind to know our pups are in such good hands. I highly recommend Maggie and her dog care services.
Maggie has been our first choice for dog sitting for the past year and a half. She was wonderful with our high energy large breed dog when we initially began using her services and when we added a second dog to our family (a puppy!) she maneuvered it with ease. Maggie is incredibly responsive, reliable and responsible. She has been an absolute joy to work with, keeping me informed with pictures and updates while away. I'm willing to bet that anyone who uses her services will have as wonderful an experience as we have.
Margaret is an excellent caregiver for dogs of any age or health. She cared for my older dog who required insulin injections twice a day and exercise. She is also good at training young dogs and can illustrate this with her own dog. She is thoughtful and listens to the owner when taking care of the dogs and is not a pushover with the treats! I would recommend her to any dog owner who needs care while they are away.

A typical day
I have learned there is nothing more fun for a dog than a walk or a hike. If you hire me I will research the area to see what routes we can take! I also have a pup of my own who mixes well with other dogs. With your permission, I could bring my female golden retriever for a playdate!
