Pet CPR certified animal lover!!

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Maggie and I am a huge animal lover! I was born and raised in Illinois and have owned pets all my life. While living in Illinois, I have been able to gain experience pet sitting for neighbors and family friends while also volunteering at local animal shelters and veterinary clinics. I have also spent the last few months working as a Veterinary Assistant at a vet clinic in Springfield. I am currently working toward a degree in Nursing and spend most of my time studying at home, so I'll have plenty of time to devote to your furry family members! I am also pet CPR certified so you can rest assured that your animals will be completely safe with me! I'd love to set up a meet and greet and hopefully confirm a booking. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me! Thank you! -Maggie

Margaret was the best! She was incredibly friendly and sent me great pictures and updates of my cat while I was on my vacation.

We were very thankful for Maggie's care and concern for our Lily at our home. We know we have someone who can help out well if we have a future need!

Maggie kept us updated on how our Maggs was doing. Maggs looked happy and content in the pictures Maggie sent. We came home to a relaxed dog. Our dog is older and spoiled and we had no concerns while we were gone. We would highly recommend Maggie.

Maggie was great! This was my dog's first time with Maggie. Maggie was very friendly and open about some special instructions. She took her for a walk and was happy to cuddle. Maggie administered some oral medication without hesitation. I also appreciated the photos and updates. My little one was well cared for and came home happy. Thanks Maggie!
