ABOUT MAGGIE'S DOGGIE CARE:
Hi there! My name is Maggie McSpadden. I'm the owner and pet care service provider of Maggie's Doggie Care. I'm 28 years old and I live with my family in Spotswood, NJ 08884. I work as a professional pet care service provider full time and I'm very experienced in taking care of pups! Maggie's Doggie Care is insured and vet recommended. I am certified in Pet First-Aid & CPR. I earned and achieved the Animal Business Certificate from Middlesex County College in Edison, NJ. In addition, I have completed multiple pet care service education programs and courses. I'm here to best assist you and your pet! I love all dogs and never met one that didn't like me. My family calls me the "dog whisperer" for obvious reasons, but mostly because dogs immediately take a liking to me. Since I was a child and a little girl, I have always been an animal lover. I have owned a long list of different types of pets throughout my childhood. I promise to love and care for your dog and pets just like they are my own – if not better! I provide local pet owners with a positive alternative option to using a commercial doggie day care & boarding facility. I love what I do and I have found the saying to be true, "If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life". My pet care service business and my amazing clients have truly changed my life for the better. I have found my purpose in life and it has brought me so much fulfillment. I can't wait to love your pet too!

MY HOME AND BACKYARD:
On the Maggie's Doggie Care Facebook page there is a photo album named, "MY HOME & BACKYARD", where you can take a "virtual tour" of my home through photos. I live with my family in our single family split level style home in Spotswood, NJ 08884. I have lived here since 1992 and this is the house I've grown up in. It is approximately 1,838 square feet and sits on 0.25 of an acre of property. My house is a 3 bedroom and 2.5 bath home with a large spacious completely fenced in backyard. The main level of the home is a semi open floor plan and consists of the main living room, eat in kitchen, formal dining room, 3/4 bath bathroom and one additional extra room used for storage or as an office. The lower level of my home consists of a larger size family room, half bath bathroom or powder room, a mud room and laundry room combo. The upper level of my home consists of the master bedroom, my bedroom, guest bedroom and a full bath bathroom. I do not have a basement in my home. I only have an attic and a crawl space. I have an attached single car garage. There are 2 entry and access points to the front yard and backyard on each of the 2 main living levels. In the front yard the top upper door is considered our official "front door". There are multiple security and surveillance cameras inside and outside my home, in the front yard and in the backyard to monitor activity as needed. I have a large backyard that is completely fenced in. The backyard fence is 6 ft tall and there is one single gate, which is locked and secured always via a combination lock. The front of backyard fence is white vinyl fence and the other three sides are solid wood stockade style fencing (6 ft x 8 ft panels). There are no open slats. I have a decent size deck that is off my kitchen and connected by a sliding glass door. The deck also is gated for safety. I have a paver & concrete patio connected to the deck and pool. It is off of the mud room and laundry room. I have large heated in ground swimming pool. My pool is completely fenced in for safety reasons (pool compliant 4 ft tall black chain link fencing and a single self closing gate). I also have a batting cage for softball and baseball batting, hitting and pitching practice in my backyard but it is no longer in active use. Please take note that this is not a dog run nor do I have any structure that could be considered a dog run or dog kennel on the property at all. Maggie's Doggie Care is not a commercial doggie day care & boarding facility or commercial dog kennel. Temporary wire garden fencing (5 ft tall) is also occasionally used as an additional safety barrier around perimeter for extra added peace of mind. I have tons of fun dog toys, tunnels, puppyplayground.com pit ball, ball pit, bone shaped doggie kiddie pool and dog agility course items. I hope this description gives you a better insight into my home!
