About: Dogs have been in my life since I was around 16. I have had the privilege of spending time with dogs in all stages of their lives, from a few weeks old, to the very end. They are all so unique, but they all want to be loved, and I have so much love for them! One of the most important things I believe in being a responsible dog owner/caretaker is to be very observant, so that the pups can have as much fun as possible. And I do this to the best of my abilities with every dog I look after, and my own dog, Elise. She is very friendly and can't wait to play with your doggos! I am flexible, as long as you give me a few days prior to the appointment. I will do my best to accommodate if care is needed immediately, but typically a minimum three-day heads-up would be great. Pick-up/ drop-off are available also. I will be taking the dogs out every 4-8 hours everyday. On a nicer day, my deck can be enclosed for the dogs to hang out/ sunbathe on. I have a crate for a medium to large dog, if your dog needs to be crated. If you would like to bring your own crate, that's no problem either. We have plenty of space. We allow dogs on our sofas so we can all cuddle if your pup is a cuddler. My partner works from home as well, so in case of emergency there is someone at home. It's also always nice to have extra set of hands as well when there are multiple dogs to be looked after.
About: I did have a dog in the past her name was Eve. She passed away because she was old. I do miss her. Whenever I get myself enough money, I do plan on purchasing another dog. Whatever you need me to do, Ill do it! I’m the best person to call on! I have a full-time job. I work Monday through Friday. I get off of work at 4:00 pm. I’m off on weekends! If you need me, call me or message me. I would prefer to watch your dog at your house. The dog would be very comfortable at home. The dog would be calm if she/he was at home.
“Megan did a great job looking after my cat. She followed all of my instructions and my cat was happy when I returned. I will rebook with Megan in the future!”

About: I am an active person, so I love long walks and runs, so I can take puppies or big dogs for long walks or runs I’m am currently working from home part time so I am available to dog sit Tuesday-Friday after 12 pm weekend I am available after 8: pm. I currently own a friendly furry Keeshond. I am also an active runner, so I can run or walk your dog if needed. Or if you need to crate train your dog, I can help with that
