Pet care experience

Dog sitter and Trainer

My name is Maggie and I am a huge animal lover. I grew up surrounded by animals, whether that be livestock or household pets. I started pet sitting for my neighbors at a young age and have been continuing my pet care journey into adulthood. Because of my many years of experience I am well informed on all sorts of animal care styles, I even worked for a pet boarding and doggy day care facility so I have knowledge in large group settings and smaller group settings of animals. My family has had experience with special needs pets and I am well-versed in animals that need a little extra care and love. I can’t wait to meet your pet and have fun with them!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with my kitty, she’s great with all animals and very social however if your pet does not get along well with her I have the ability to separate them in different rooms. Because of my experience gained throughout my life and at my former job at a pet boarding facility I am also well versed in administering medications and taking care of special needs animals as my family has rescued multiple animals that need a little extra care.

Margaret was awesome!! Skipper had a great time and was very well taken care of. We got updated throughout every day and she was super transparent and kind! We will definitely be hiring her again and highly recommend her!

I wholeheartedly recommend Maggie as an exceptional pet sitter. Her genuine love for animals is evident—she has never met an animal that she does not adore, and the feeling is always mutual. Maggie is highly knowledgeable in animal care and possesses a gentle, empathic approach that immediately puts even the most anxious pets at ease. Entrusting our five dogs to Maggie on multiple occasions while we travelled, we have always returned to find them well-cared for and happy. Maggie’s dedication extends beyond our home; during her high school years, she was an active participant in her school’s FFA programme, where she took on the responsibility of raising sheep, goats, and steers. This experience speaks to her commitment, as she diligently managed their feeding, bathing, and daily care. With her compassion, reliability, and wealth of hands-on experience, Maggie would be an ideal choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Schedule

Currently, most of my time is spent with your pets! When I am not walking dogs or cleaning litter boxes I spend most of my time at home baking, taking care of my cat and fish tanks, and working for friends and people I’ve met as a pet/house sitter. Because of my open schedule I have the ability to give endless time and love to your pets!
