I don't offer pet sitting services. It upsets the harmony of the pets that we already have. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
Ratings and reviews
Maureen took care of my two big dogs, Thunder and Cain. They absolutely loved her and it got to the point that they knew at what time she'd come to take them for a walk and they'd go crazy. By the time they got back from the walk, they would sleep soundly. She wore them out and they loved her!!!!
During COVID, my daughter & her husband adopted a young rescue dog, a Texas Blue Lacy. I’d volunteered to keep Tex for their two week vacation but knew a vigorous daily walk would be difficult so my daughter searched the Internet for a dog walker in my area. From the moment Tex saw Maureen, he loved her! We decided on a daily start time and in a couple of days, Tex would be at the front window awaiting her arrival. His breed needs lots of exercise and Maureen handled that aspect very well. They occasionally went to a local dog park so he could socialize with other dogs, sometimes she would run with him on the park’s trails. On a hot day, she would carry water for him and keep to shady areas. Tex was always eager to go with Maureen & would come back a happy dog!
Maureen is amazing with our dogs. She has been walking them for a little less than 2 years. We moved recently and we are so sad that it’s too far to ask her to continue to walk them. We have too small dogs & one medium size. She has always been so patient with them, especially our medium size dog who is a rescue. She can often be skittish & was stubborn about walking & Maureen always gave her the time to feel comfortable & was eager for Stella to feel secure with her. The two smaller dogs loved Maureen & their walks with her. Maureen is very dependable & I can’t say enough about her commitment & joy to be around dogs. Maureen didn’t hesitate on going above & beyond. Most days after their walks she would go in the backyard & play with them. What more can you ask for!!! Your puppies would be extremely lucky & we’ll cared for with Maureen.

Schedule
I'm currently employed as a part-time dog worker for two families. I really enjoy being around dogs. In the summer of 2021 I walked 6 dogs in addition to my own.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldMaureen can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I like to know about your dog's preferred pace and how far they normally walk. I also like to know how your dog tolerates being handled and if they have have any specific reactivity, such as squirrels, other dogs, children, bikes or scooters. It's also helpful to know of any specific triggers, like noise or specific streets that I can avoid. Any info of that sort is very helpful in providing your dog with a stress-free walk.
