House Sitting Surprise

“Monica was GREAT! She showed up a few minutes early which I appreciated since it was our first meeting. She was organized and listened (without judgment) about my quirky Tibetan Terrier who has separation anxiety. She sent photos during the short visit, which wasn’t really necessary but showed her diligence and caring. Will definitely ask her back!”

“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”

About: About Me 😸 Hi, I'm Maggie! I bring extensive, professional hands-on veterinary industry (including ER) experience to every pet I care for. For me, pet sitting isn't a hobby—it is a commitment to providing the absolute highest standard of safety, comfort, and specialized care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walking partner or your senior cat requires a gentle, patient companion, I tailor my routine entirely to your pet's unique personality and medical needs. Why Choose Me? • Advanced Medical Knowledge: With my veterinary background, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, topical treatments, and injections. I can expertly read animal body language to spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or medical changes before they become issues. • Special Needs & Senior Care Experts: I welcome senior pets, puppies, and animals recovering from surgery or managing chronic illnesses. I know exactly how to maintain strict care schedules. • Safety First, Always: My industry experience means I treat emergency preparedness as a top priority. You will receive regular, detailed updates and photo check-ins so you can enjoy your time away with 100% peace of mind. Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! Because pet care is my primary focus, your pet will never be left alone for long periods. • Boarding / House Sitting: I maintain a consistent, predictable routine. Pets are never left unattended for more than 2 to 4 hours at a time, ensuring plenty of potty breaks, mental stimulation, and companionship. • Drop-Ins / Walks: I offer flexible scheduling windows throughout the day. I arrive promptly within our agreed-upon time frame so your pet's feeding and medication schedule remains perfectly on track. Safety and respect for your property are my absolute highest priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care and maintain strict safety protocols to ensure your pets remain secure and comfortable in their own familiar environment: • Home Security & Vigilance: I strictly follow your locking preferences, arm security alarms precisely as instructed, and ensure all windows and gates are securely closed before leaving or going to sleep. I keep a low profile to ensure your home looks occupied and secure. • Escaping Prevention: I am incredibly vigilant about "door-darting." I use careful entry and exit barriers to ensure pets never have the opportunity to slip outside accidentally. During walks, dogs are always kept on secure, reliable leashes—never off-leash in unsecured areas. • Health & Behavioral Monitoring: I perform daily, subtle health checks (monitoring appetite, energy levels, and bathroom habits). Because of my professional background, I can spot the earliest signs of stress, bloat, or discomfort and act immediately. • Emergency Preparedness: I keep the contact information for your primary veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 emergency pet hospital easily accessible. If an unexpected home issue arises (like a leak or power outage), I will handle it calmly and contact you immediately.

“Ketura was wonderful; so sweet and caring toward my fur baby. She provided daily updates and occasional pictures that really helped put me at ease about being away from Tucker. I knew he was in good hands.”

Nancy A.

“Laura is so good at what she does! I appreciated the photo and video updates each day that we were gone, not only because I missed my fur babies, but it was obvious they were being loved on while I was away. They really loved having her with them, especially during several monsoon storms that blew through. The house was in order and clean when we got home. We will definitely be calling on Laura in the future. She was a blessing to our family!”

Melissa B.

“Charis was great! One of our dogs is very anxious and scared of everyone and everything, but this didn’t phase her. She was patient with him and soon he warmed right up to her. Would definitely have her back.”

“Angela has been fantastic, so patient with my anxious rescue dog. She handled some difficult situations professionally and kindly. She was great about communicating my pets’ needs, sending updates and pictures. My cat warmed up to her immediately. It was so comforting to feel I was leaving my pets in such reliable hands.”

Katie E.

“Krystal was awesome with our pack of rascals. She sent lots of pictures and really got to know the dogs. She also watered my husband's plants without being asked and it was the sweetest thing! She is on our favorite sitter list now.”

About: current pets: 2 hermit crabs (5yrs), frenchie mix rescue (1yr) previous: dogs - newfie, black lab, husky, chihuahua. cats - several, mostly of stray lineage i have experience giving general meds to cats and dogs ie pills, eye drops, even with the most finicky of cats! not afraid of getting scratched either, it happens especially with meds. Your pets’ needs will always be met under my care and I am fully transparent with my pricing & tech savvy; if you have any questions during the booking or issues with the Rover system, never hesitate to ask questions about any of the aforementioned topics! *if you are 20+ miles round trip from my home (10 miles away) a service fee of 15 will be added to the booking upon initial request* I am typically fully available on weekends as I am a cleaning lady during Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, let me know if you are interested in cleaning services as well! I also respond very quickly most of the time, especially if I have/am around your pet (unless we are becoming best buds and we are distracted) Rover card always includes pictures. I usually message an ETA before I arrive in case of alarm systems or similar. When in your home, I follow the care plan and instructions given to a T and ask questions if necessary/applicable, door is always locked behind me upon entering. Check for messes, follow routine; my only deviation I typically do is adding (filtered, and if possible) water to the pets food, dehydration is very common in AZ. And most pets love it, highly recommend it! I also clean bowls, take out trash, and wipe down countertops. Double check all doors and windows are secure/not broken and that AC is working before locking up and heading out.

“Allison exceeded our expectations! She was excellent at communicating, took amazing care of our dog, and left the house in great shape! Wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with our dog again.”

Lisa B.

“Dana was awesome! She looked after my two pups for 10 days. She sent us tons of pictures and updates, the pups seemed to lover her a lot. We will 100% use her again as a sitter!”

Mariana R.

“Gina was a great sitter for our puppy while on a weekend trip! Took great care of our house and our 6 month old puppy. Sent multiple pics each day and kept us updated with everything! Easy to communicate with and we felt very comfortable leaving our home and puppy in Gina’s hands! Will be our go to for future sitting needs :)”

Madison G.

“We loved having Pam stay with Alice while we were out of town! She’s flexible, communicative, and took good care of our anxious pupper. Thanks Pam!”

Max M.

“Rachel was great, and we will use her again. Our dog (Seggie) warmed up to her very fast, I could tell from the pictures, the fact that Seggie was eating regularly and that Seggie played ball and even sang with Rachel that there was no stress going on. It is so important to us that when we are away Seggie isn't having a hard time. This was a good fit for us. I will say too that all Rover sitters are excellent! All our experiences with the Rover team has been above and beyond.”

Carmen F.

“Roxie was awesome in providing care for my two furry kids. She took excellent care of them and my house was clean when I arrived home. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies just not when I need her!”

Debra B.

“Anita is my go-to when I need someone to care for our 6 year old Aussiedoodle. She is seriously the best dog sitter we’ve had over the years. When we are away we receive funny/sweet/playful pics and updates and always feel confident that Lily is not only safe but happy. Don’t hesitate to book!”

Chauneice D.

“Mackenzie is one of the best that I have had. She and my crazy, yappy schnauzer got along so well. She stayed at my house while I was out of town and my house looked as if I had never left. I will most definitely have Mackenzie back and wholeheartedly recommend her service.”
