After earning a BS in 1978, Maggie taught high school physics. She began a toy manufacturing business - creating, designing and manufacturing toys from her ideas, receiving multiple patents, and selling toys throughout the US, Canada and Australia. She began pet sitting professionally in 1994. Her family includes Cowboy--a Shiz Tzu rescue with a John Wayne walk, $weetie--a dachshund-spaniel-genetic disaster with expensive back problems, a loaner dog named Sasha, BuckyShasta--a 17 year old Himalyan Siamese cat, and one very understanding husband. She has also lived with and loved: hamsters, gerbils, parakeets, rabbits, tree frogs, cockapoos, maltapoo, Collie, German shepherds, black lab, numerous cats, orphan lambs, chickens, angora goats, and pigs. Maggie has worked in dog, cat and wildlife rescue, organized donation drives to raise funds for animal rescue groups and shelters, founded the Austin Pet Sitter Organization, and dearly loves animals. "We do our utmost to love your furry baby like you do, whether he's a 100 pound energetic Rhodesian Ridgeback, an 8 pound geriatric mutt, or an elderly tabby in need of talking and petting. We love'em like our own."
