“Nyla walked our dog for us. She was very knowledgable about dogs and listened to all of our concerns. She took good care of our dog, being attentive to other dogs that may have been a threat to avoid any negative interactions. She sent us lots of pictures and a report card! We plan to work with her again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I am in my mid 50’s, responsible adult. I’ve had large breed dogs (German shepherds) to small breed (mini pins) and A LOT of cats. I am currently on disability because of Crohn’s disease. I do have an open schedule but my weeks can revolve around Dr appointments and treatments. Everything is booked in advance so I will still know my availability. I do travel out of state sporadically because my wife travels for work. I have no problem getting to and from a clients residence in a timely fashion. I understand pets are like family members and should be cared for in the same manner.

I started a dog treat bakery business a couple of years ago that’s really starting to grow, so I’m now transitioning from the 9-5 job so I can pursue my passion for animals full time. I own my own dog bakery and work from home, so my availability is very flexible. We have an 11 acre farm with 2 separate “dog yards”. I will take your dog(s) for long walks and of course playtime if they like, give them food water and treats as needed, and I’m happy to accommodate with any special requests if your fur baby has a favorite activity, treat, or any special needs.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, currently working full-time as a kennel technician at a doggy daycare. I am also pursuing my veterinary technician education, deepening my knowledge and skills in animal care every day. Animals have always been a part of my life—growing up in a family who loves pets, I’ve had dogs since I was a child and share a lifelong passion for their well-being. I would be honored to care for your furry family members, providing walks, cuddles, and attentive, loving care while giving you peace of mind. I am currently working full-time as a kennel technician, so scheduling services with me does require at least one week’s notice. That said, I will have increased availability in the near future and will be more flexible with scheduling at that time. If an emergency situation arises and you need immediate assistance, I am typically available outside of my work hours and will do my best to accommodate you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss your scheduling. I’m always happy to help! I share my home with two friendly, sweet dogs and one affectionate cat, and I make sure to give them plenty of walks, playtime, and attention every day. Caring for my own pets has given me hands-on experience with exercise, training, and affection, and I bring that same level of love and dedication to every animal I care for.

About: I was raised in a household where dogs and cats were always part of the family, which helped me develop a deep passion for their well-being from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in caring for both species, understanding their unique needs and personalities. My knowledge extends to administering oral medications safely and effectively, always ensuring the animal is comfortable and stress-free during the process. I make it a priority to provide plenty of comfort and affection, as well as engaging playtime tailored to each pet’s preferences, helping to keep them both happy and healthy. This lifelong experience has made me attentive, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting the health and happiness of dogs and cats alike. With my flexible schedule, pet care easily integrates into both my daily and weekly routines. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each animal, ensuring meals, medication, exercise, and affection are provided at consistent times that suit their habits. This flexibility allows me to devote focused attention during morning, afternoon, and evening hours, whether it’s feeding and playtime or walks and grooming. On a weekly basis, I plan for deeper cleaning and enrichment activities, such as refreshing litter boxes, rotating toys for stimulation, and scheduling longer walks or social outings for dogs. My adaptable approach ensures that every pet receives the care and companionship they deserve, regardless of my other commitments, making their well-being a top priority throughout each day and week. Providing a safe environment for the animals is fundamental to their well-being and peace of mind. This includes ensuring that the living spaces are free of hazards, such as toxic plants, accessible electrical cords, or small objects that could be swallowed. Safety measures like secure fences for dogs and proper window screens for cats help prevent accidents and escape attempts, allowing pets to relax and feel protected in their surroundings. The importance of a safe environment extends beyond physical safety—it also reduces stress and anxiety, which can impact both behavior and health. When pets know their space is secure, they are more likely to thrive, exhibit positive behaviors, and form trusting bonds with their caretaker. By prioritizing safety, I create a nurturing atmosphere where every animal can enjoy comfort, companionship, and the freedom to play and explore without worry.

“This was our first time using the Rover app, and we were a bit nervous, but it worked out wonderfully! Megan took such great care of Theo, took him for a walk, and even stopped by the dog park so he could play. We loved that she sent pictures along the way—it made us feel so comfortable knowing he was happy. She even offered to come meet him the day before to get familiar with his routine and our location, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re staying at Anchor Down RV Park, she would be the perfect sitter to trust with your baby! We hope to use her next year!”
