About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, adopting my first pup at 16. Now, I’m the proud owner of two dogs—a playful 8-year-old Yellow Lab and a sweet 3-year-old German Shepherd rescue. Animals are my passion, and my dogs are truly my fur babies. I’d love to treat yours with the same love and care! I'm currently working part-time and pursuing online schooling to become a nurse practitioner. Between my love for the outdoors and my passion for pets, I thought this would be the perfect way to take a study break. I’m usually available afternoons, nights, and weekends—though I’m a night owl, I’d happily rise early for some fun pet playtime! I have a fenced-in backyard where my dogs and I love to play fetch, and we’re also big fans of daily walks and tug-of-war. I’m up for any game your pet enjoys—and I’ll even let them win every now and then for extra fun! If your pet prefers a more laid-back vibe, I’m more than happy to join them as a fellow couch potato for some quality relaxation time!
About: I’ve cared for all types of animals my entire life and had been working in a clinic for just under one year.

I work part time in fast food currently, I have a ton of free time to play and take care of your animals. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to make more time for your pet if I am let known in advance. I very much believe in listening to your pets signs and cues, letting them decide if they are okay with the situation. I want to keep myself, your pet, and you as safe as possible!!

About: My name is Meagan and I have loved animals from the beginning of time. I have a rottweiler named Karl and a pit mix named Roman, so big dogs don't seem to phase me. I am in the process of getting my animal science degree from Ellsworth Community College with dreams of vet school in the future. I have a background of dogs of all sizes and ages as well as cattle and equine. I have watched family friends dogs for years, so I have a lot of experience when it comes to animals from other homes. I have never met an animal I didn't like and I'm not about to start now. I look forward to spending time with many more animals that will enter my life in the future.

About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, ducks, and all sorts of other furry and feathered creatures thinking of becoming a veterinarian. I even worked as a vet tech for four years. I’ve cared for elderly pets, diabetic and epileptic, and can make friends with even the crankiest cat or most skittish pup. As an adult, I’ve lived with a retired racing greyhound named Clock, fostered kittens, rescued several long-term elderly shelter cats, and most recently adopted a pair of kittens when my cat of 14 years passed. They love dogs, but can also live quietly in the bedroom if need be. Your pet becomes one of mine for the duration we are together. They are loved and treated with the same care and affection as my own pets. Some dogs get anxious and don’t like to eat their first meal away from their people- I keep things like chicken broth and peanut butter to help entice them to get that nutrition! Aside from my UNI teaching, my schedule is super flexible and I will adjust my routine as necessary. Generally, my cats actually have a set routine of (demanding) waking me up at 5:30am, dinner at 6, and bedtime snacks at 10pm. In or out of my home I pretty much arrange myself around the pets I’m caring for. If that means staying over at your house, I’m packing a bag.
About: I've had dogs, and cats my entire life, whether it be the family pets, or my own. I've had and taken care of cats, and dogs. My girlfriend and I currently have two dogs, Harry a 2 year old Husky, Chow, Terrier, Poodle mix. Oliver a year and a half year old Golden Retriever. Pet care is a LARGE part of my day to day life. I try and give my dogs at least one walk or trip to the dog park every day. Our dogs are part of our family. They're very sweet, and loving. My girlfriend and I do not live together so they stay at both of our houses throughout the week. At my house, where I will be boarding clients dogs is partially fenced in, but when outside the dogs are always supervised and tied. I generally stay outside with them while they're outside because I don't think I can be too cautious when it comes to their safety. When it comes to a clients pets, I would be just as if not more diligent. As mentioned, I do have two dogs of my own, however when taking care of clients pets, my dogs will stay at my girlfriend's house to eliminate any possible conflicts. If hired to go to a clients home, I am happy to accommodate whatever instructions and routines they have for their own dogs or cats.
About: I have taken care of different animals growing up dog sitting, and dog walking is what I normally did! I love going on walks with dogs combines my two favorite things, the outdoors and animals! I have two other jobs but don’t work full time, I usually have a couple days off. When I’m off i like to be outside and doing things! I help make the animals feel safe! I know how some animals can be with their parents gone and it can make them feel scared or abandoned. So being there with them and playing with them can help calm that sense of abandonment!
“Tiara helped us out with a last minute dog walk while my partner and I would be out at work for 12 hours. Serious life saver! She is so so nice and very caring.

Meagan G.
“Meagan has such a big heart for all dogs and tons of experience caring for them! She has cared for my large standard poodle, Gabe, on numerous occasions. She is one of the few people I feel at ease leaving him with outside of my family members because I know she will take care of him like he’s her own...so rare to find that level of trust in someone. Gabe has some special support needs and can be anxious around new people and situations but Meagan has taken the time to connect with him to the point that he loves her. Look no further for the most loving and responsive caregiver for your dog!”
