About: I am a caring, outgoing college student seeking to provide for your dogs when you can’t. I have previous experience dog sitting and dog walking for family and friends. Pets have always been a part of my home. I will care and love for your dog as if it were my own. I have logged an immense amount of hours volunteering at humane society. I’m a huge advocate for exercise and fitness for pets, so if you leave your dog with me I will guarantee that we will be going on runs or even outside, rain or shine.

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 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 have had many dogs, cats, and other animals in my lifetime, including senior dogs and have a very well trained puppy myself. I have plenty of experience with training and patience. I am available during the following times: Monday - Friday (all day availability, unless have a commitment in advance) Weekends (all day availability, unless have a commitment in advance) I am very patient and compassionate for animals. I have a dog of my own with a lot of anxiety, so I know how to care for similar things. I would love to take a walk in your neighborhood, play with their favorite toys, and give them extra love and comfort.
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.
“Tee-Tee was EXTREMELY accommodating after the first walker I booked became unresponsive HOURS before I had to leave for a work trip out of state. Tee-Tee was on time, very communicative and through the pictures & videos she sent, I could tell my dogs already love her! I definitely will be using her again!”
“Rebecca did a marvelous job with our Daisy. She’s a Havanese and typical Velcro dog, so she resisted leaving but warmed up to walking with Rebecca once she got away from the house. Rebecca was always on time, very professional, and flexible with our needs. I highly recommend her.”
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: My family and I have owned a pets since I was a little girl. I’ve always loved to play and be around dogs. I've taken care of dogs of any kind even puppy to senior for years of my own or for my neighbors and family. I have a lot of free time. I'm available during the week and on weekends. I also can accommodate my schedule for my clients. Sometimes, I'm not available when I'm already watching another pet or out of town! But please keep me in mind if you need a sitter next and I might be available! I have a house that is the right size. I have two sweet dogs that possibly keep your dogs company. We also have a kennel, our dogs are kennel-trained and comfortable.
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.

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!”
