Maggie took wonderful care of our Poko! She was detail oriented in confirming care instructions, and sent us daily pictures of their adventures, which we so appreciated. Poko felt right at home!

Margaret was an awesome sitter! Very responsive, reliable, and flexible. Bella was telling me how much she enjoyed her stay with her. Thank you for your hospitality!

Margaret was great! My dog Lucy was staying with her during a heatwave and Margaret set up a little kiddie pool for her to help stay cool! Lucy also had an upset stomach and Margaret kept me updated about the situation and kept me updated. Would absolutely recommend / and would definitely rebook with her!

Maggie has loved dogs since she was a little girl! She’s had helped friends and neighbors with caring for their pets. Maggie is a responsible and reliable person. As a teacher, she plans and manages her students’ curriculum, schedules and parent meetings. She will do the same for your pet.

Margaret is a responsible and reliable adult. Her passion for furry friends shows in all aspects of life. She’s had ample experience caring for dogs, and Rover would be lucky to have such a caring, dedicated, and loyal worker.
