She was very attentive to all the details of taking care of my pup and keeping in communication with me before and during my time away. My girl enjoyed snuggles, walks, and meeting Erin’s roommates. I could tell she enjoyed her stay from the photo updates. Whether your pup has a lot of specifics for their care or you just need someone reliable and dependable, Erin is wonderful! Definitely will be booking again in the future. Thank you again Erin!”

Will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and livestock all my life! My 2 year old male loves to play so your dog will have a blast! I work 7-5 daily, so I’d be available to check in afterwards each night during the week and would be completely free on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can run around freely and plenty of toys for them to play with inside and outside!
“Meagan and family were so kind and welcoming! Grateful for her flexibility to set up a meet and greet and for the attentive and loving care my dog received while with her! I’ll admit - I can be a helicopter dog mom and Meagan received all my info and requests with such kindness. Definitely look forward to booking again and HIGHLY recommend! 😃”
