About: My family has had dogs my whole life. A couple years ago, I started professionally dog sitting and I greatly enjoy it. I'm patient, I learn each dog's personality, and I make sure they have a safe fun time. I currently balance different self-scheduled gig work. Having no set or minimum hours, my time is highly flexible. I can schedule to fit your needs. I keep a careful eye on pet behavior and surroundings. For yards, I make sure fencing/gates are secure and keep an eye the dogs. For walking, I ensure leashes, collars are comfortable but very secure and tied to my arm as a back up. I keep a bottle of water. I can walk fast and keep pace but also encourage the dog to not wear themself out.

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: 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.

About: My family raised dogs growing up. I later adopted many discarded rescues until they passed away. I know how to bathe, feed, treat, talk and walk any breed. I'm also available to stay over nights with your pets. I'm a real estate paralegal and work from home. It's never a problem to take an extended break or lunch to provide your pet with first class care. I can walk your pets, stay over night with them, water & feed, bathe them, brush their teeth and clean their ears. You just let me know how you want them to be cared for! I've recently watched a pit bull, German Shepard, and Bullmastiff along with two cats on separate occasions.
About: I am a college student and love pets. Currently living in Waterloo. I have had a few cats growing up and still have 2 dogs back home. I currently have 3 cats and are my fur babies! I have not only played and taken care of them most of my life, but also have helped train service dogs at Retrieving Freedom as a part of one of my college classes. Giving them food, baths, and bringing them on long walks, or to a park to play are all things that I have experience with due to being a pet owner myself. I am currently a graduate student and looking for a part-time job. Watching and caring for pets would fit well into my schedule as I have most early mornings, some afternoons and most evenings free. I am a full time graduate college student and looking for a part-time job. Pet sitting works well with my schedule as it changes every semester. I make sure I obtain as much information from the owner beforehand and do meet and greets to ensure safety for when I care for their pets.

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!”
