“Anthea is a cat whisper. My kitten took to her immediately and my anxiety ridden kitty stayed mellow and calm during the whole stay. She is dedicated to her charges and communicates in detail and quickly. Will leave my two fur babies with her anytime.”


“We felt totally comfortable with Peter watching the pups. I know they were happy and cared for. He will be our first consideration anytime we need them cared for. Beyond excellent.”


“We all loved Renata, especially my dog, Mango. He was so happy and relaxed when we came home. Totally different attitude then when we pick him up from the kennel. Renata was a great pet-sitter and we will definitely use her again. We especially appreciate her flexibility of also helping with our chickens.”


“It was so great to come home and see the cats and everything else had been so well taken care of. The communication with Melissa was great throughout our 18 days away.

Her communication gave us peace of mind and she was very respectful of our home. Highly recommend her for house sitting!”


“Heidi did a great job. My boys are terribly shy and wary of new people, but they were cuddling her on day 1. That's the best endorsement I think she could get 😁 When I got home, the boys were very happy to see us, but I could tell they hadn't been lonely while we were gone.”

About: Hi, my name is Meagan and I have been caring for animals for over twenty years. The attention and care of your animal(s), as well as their safety will be important to me. All animals are treated with respect, and I will treat them as if they are a part of my family. I have one dog of my own right now named Roscoe. I have had dogs of many breeds since I was a small child. Some were large Rhodesian Ridgebacks, while others were small Dachsunds and Bichon Frises. I have trained dogs and other animals since I was a kid. I am good at reading signs of a dog's emotions and I work with each unique personality in a patient and loving manner. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I am good at making sure dog(s) are safe by watching my surrounding environment and the people and animals in it. I am more than happy with pet sitting other types of animals as well. I own ducks, cats, ferrets, and a guinea pig. I have rescued many pets including feral cats and dogs, birds, as well as other wildlife. Working in horse stables has also taught me that animals need caring people in their lives to help keep them happy and that caring for a pet takes a good amount of work and patience.

“Not only was Johnny on time with arrivals and departures and shared wonderful photos of our pups but we came home to a clean home. This has not always been our experience with other dog sitters and was one of the nicest surprises. The girls loved her and so do we!”
