A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I am a retired professional having worked most of my adult life as a speech language pathologist. I have always had a cat to love and keep me company. I grew up with dogs and am a dog lover, but I've never been a dog-Mom based on my full-time work. I believe that our pets need consistent love and human presence throughout the day. Now I am honored to help busy folks manage their busy lives by assisting with their pet's care. Given my professional background, I am steeped in "best practices," "constant quality improvement," and customer service.
I bring this approach to my pet services business.
I am a native of Baltimore. I have lived outside Boston and throughout Vermont before settling in Branford and the shoreline of CT - a beautiful spot to be. When not hanging with my own furry friend,
I enjoy going on walks with my friends and their dogs and doing all outdoor activities. When I am inside, I enjoy cooking my signature Old Bay chicken nuggets, sewing and doing a variety of handicrafts.
Thank you for taking the time to peruse my website.
Contact me for a free Meet-n-Greet today!!

"We are always so happy when Maggie takes care of our black lab, Arlo. He recently turned one year old...which means he's been a rambunctious puppy, no small task for a dog sitter, but Maggie has met the challenge with patience and love. She lets us know of her arrival and departure times and everything in between including photos of Arlo having fun inside and outside. We just love having Maggie here and very much look forward to her future visits!"

"Maggie has an exceptional set of skills for understanding cat behavior that she integrates in providing essential care in feeding, brushing, litter box cleaning and play time with my cat, Bandit. Bandit has recently required medicine for his elevated thyroid hormone. Maggie reassured me about her skills in administering medicine with food. Maggie regularly texts me on her arrival and provides text details of each visit with photograohs of her play with Bandit. Her expertise and reliability are outstanding along with her excellent care of my cat."

"Maggie is amazing with her care for my pets. She has cared for my 3-year-old doodle and my 3 cats over the past 2-years. She is conscientious, reliable, caring and a great communicator. Consistently on time, my animals lover her. Plus she is a great pet portrait taker! I couldn't more strongly recommend her."

"Maggie has cared for our dogs, Eliza and Penny, for severeal years. Fron the very first timie she met them, it was clear she took time to understand their personalities and needs. Our dogs are both rescued and Eliza can be extremely shy, but she adores Maggie! Maggie earned her trust and always makes her feel comfortable. Maggie is exceptionally attentive, reliable, caring and trustworthy, and our dogs look forward to her visitss. She always ensurers our dogs are safe, happy and having fun. Maggie is always on time, communicates clearly, and goes above and beyond - whether it's sending updates, noticing small changes in behavior, or giving extra affection when needed. It brings me tremendous peace of mind to know our dogs are in such capable and loving hands."

"Maggie is the best cat sitter I have ever had! She has helped me with my kitty over 2-years now. Maggie is very detail oriented, timely, and she spends so much time when she visits my cat. My cat was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and Maggie learned how to give her an oral anti-nausea and blood pressure medication, which she needs daily. I honestly don't know what I would do without Maggie, she makes me feel so comfortable and gives me peace of mind when I leave on vacation. She really cares about giving your pet the best care possible. She sometimes even stays longer than required if she feels like that is what your pet needs. Thank you Maggie for all that you do!"
