“Megin was wonderful with our schnauzers. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs!! Thank you Megin for a restful vacation because we knew our pups were in good hands”
About: I’ve taken care of my two family dogs my whole life. My first dog was a 30 pound cockapoo who lived to the age of 15. I grew up with him learning how to feed him and take him on walks. I even learned how to be gentle with him in his old age to ensure he was happy and comfortable. My other dog is 9 now, he is an 80 pound mutt who has lots of energy and I feed him, take him on walks, and play with him in and outdoors. I can handle all kinds of things pets love to throw at their owners and I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I am currently in school, so my work schedule rotates around my classes and whenever I am able to care for your pets I can! I can do overnight visits or drop in between my classes. Whatever’s convenient for you!! I will ensure to treat your home and pet with the upmost respect and ensure everything is exactly the way that you would like it. When caring for your pet, I’ll be sure to take every precaution so that they are safe and your privacy is respected. For example, locking gates behind me, closing the door all the way so no one escapes, and closing the food bin so no one can break into it! I will strive to do whatever will make you and your pets the most comfortable.

“I highly recommend Maddy for her exceptional care of our cat, Charley. Maddy ensured that Charley was well-fed and taken care of, and took the time to engage with her and give her with plenty of attention. Maddy provided many updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and it was evident that Charley was happy and well-cared for when we returned home. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care Maddy provided and will definitely be reaching out again for any future pet-sitting needs.”
