Pet care experience
I am the biggest animal lover you will meet! In addition to owning dogs and cats my entire life, I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. Some of my own dogs have been easy, but some have been very challenging. I think this experience has made me well-rounded and understanding that every animal is unique. No matter what pet I am caring for, I always treat them as my own. I love being active outdoors, and dogs are the perfect companion! I am an avid hiker and jogger, and love to take pups along (with their owners permission). I have cared for up to 7 dogs at once, so multiple pets are no problem - the more the merrier! I am more than happy to care for dogs with some behavioral issues, and I do not have any breed restrictions. The only restriction I have is with human aggression; I will not care for a dog that has a human bite history just for my own personal safety. I have experience giving medications, including insulin shots, and I have administered an IV in an emergency situation. I also enjoy making dog treats!! Note: I do work full-time during the week, so please keep that plus travel time in mind when requesting a booking. Also, I almost always have clients that I do dog walking or pop-in visits for on the weekends. This may require me to run out for short periods of times during the day on weekends. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!
Reviews
This was our first time using Megan for house sitting and everything went perfectly. She provided updates and pictures as well as daily walks. Megan is thoughtful , caring and we highly recommend her.
Megan did great, on time , thoughtful, caring. Just what we need when out of town.
Megan took wonderful care of my cats and house, even did some extras. I felt very comfortable leaving it all in her hands while I was away on vacation. I’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to all!
Megan was kind and patient with our dog. She checked in with each visit and assured us, through her actions, that our dog was in good hands.

Information Megan B. would like to know about your pet
My first question is always if they have any medical issues that I need to be aware of, and I always want to go over a plan in the case of an emergency. I like to know how they interact with other dogs, kids, and other animals. I will ask about any behavioral issues and will specifically ask about any aggression. I would also want to know how they are both on and off the leash. I have no breed preferences - I love all dogs!! Please be 100% honest when answering these questions as they will help keep your pets, me, and anyone we come in contact with safe, which is always my number one priority!!
A typical day
I absolutely love to hike, so I take dogs on my favorite dog-friendly trails (with prior owner approval). Some of my favorites include Kettle Pond, Barn Island, Arcadia and Lantern Hill. In the off-season it’s always fun to take the dogs to the beach or Burlingame pond. I am a runner, so if that’s something your dog would enjoy I always love having a running buddy! I always make sure to have tennis balls and Frisbees at my house and in my car for a game of fetch!!
