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: My family has had dogs since I was born, and I took care of them since I was 12. I regularly fed, walked, played with, washed, and brushed our dogs. I have trained our two previous dogs with simple commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and come. I’m currently in between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for pets! Weekdays typically work better for me as I tend to travel on the weekends. I have always believed that every animal deserves all the love in the world, and I follow that in my every day life. I’m comfortable in almost any situation regarding animals, and have plenty of experience with crates and other measures to keep our furry friends from wreaking havoc within the house.
About: I have taken in several dogs from rescue leagues. Last one lived with us for 16 1/2 yrs before she passed. Decided to be a sitter as I know how difficult it is to find good sitters when you go on vacation or to work and don’t want to leave your precious at home. Our home is small but yard is large and there is plenty of room to run. I take my own out to run a lot. Have plenty of treats to share as we get the bark box each month so can share treats and toys. Would love to watch your babies while your away instead of them being in kennels. I have a nine yr old dachshund and a two yr old fox hound. I have watched a female dachshund multiple times while her owner had to be at the hospital with her friend. Her doxie became a part of the family. If I had something to do and the doxie could go with the she went with with me. Otherwise she was kenneled while I was gone. The doxie was able to sleep with either my daughter who is 16 or myself and my husband. During feeding times we put the dogs that cannot have the same food or that do not get along well eating with others in their own rooms to eat. I will only schedule two dogs to walk at a time, unless you have small or well trained dogs. Right now I do not work but do go into town weekly for church, Bible Study, I am the treasurer of our church, and I am on the Worship Team.
About: I've had my dog and many others since I was a kid. My parents got me my dog Spot to teach me about responsibility and I have taken very good care of him and pay for him. We lived on a farm with different dogs coming in and out that I took care of along with some cats. I love animals and would love to have my future career with them. My work schedule is Tuesday to Friday and I work until 6-8pm. I'm available all day Saturday-Monday or night time on the other days if wanted. I will walk your dogs around town as much as they need and they will be fed on time. I have 3 pets at home I take care of, my dog spot and 2 cats Tom and Tita. (Not named by me)
About: I have a Doberman at home that I trained myself, and I’ve worked with cattle/pigs, so your big dog won’t scare me! I grew up with dogs and have been dog sitting for as long as I can remember, so your pup is in good hands 😊 I work early mornings, so I am available almost every middle of day & afternoon with more flexibility on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I spend at least an hour at home everyday training my own dog & playing an insane amount of fetch! I am very observant of animal behavior & will mirror your pets energy level so that they feel comfortable around me. I am very protective of my own dog & will treat yours the same while in my care.

I am also trained to handle any unexpected situations that may arise and will take all necessary precautions to avoid any harm or discomfort to your pets.

About: What makes me different from other pet sitters is my extensive training and hands-on experience in all things pet care. I’ve got a knack for puppy training, focusing on essential commands and socialization strategies that help shape good habits right from the start. Plus, I've worked with senior pets too, so I'm familiar with their specific needs—like managing medications, providing gentle exercise, and catering to special diets. I am currently working part time so I have time to care for animals in the afternoons and evenings. I am also in nursing school but have availability on some weekends. I have a fenced yard which allows dogs to exercise and play without the fear of them running away or losing sight of the dogs.
