About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of formal veterinary education, hands-on medical experience, and specialized behavioral handling. Having completed coursework in veterinary science and veterinary assisting, I bring a professional understanding of animal health, safety protocols, and early illness detection that standard pet sitters often lack. I am fully confident administering oral or topical medications, ensuring pets with strict medical needs or chronic conditions never miss a dose. Furthermore, my background with behavioral issues means I can accurately read animal body language, manage stress triggers, and provide a calm, safe environment for anxious rescues, high-energy puppies, or senior pets requiring gentle, specialized care. Pet care serve as the core structure of your daily routine by setting fixed times for feeding, exercise, and play. Daily Anchors: Schedule morning and evening feedings, regular walks, and playtime at consistent times each day to give structure to your morning and afternoon. Midday Engagement: Dedicate open daytime blocks to longer walks, trick training, or grooming, which helps keep both you and your pet active. Weekly Tasks: Set aside specific days for deeper maintenance, like cleaning food bowls, washing bedding, and stocking up on supplies. Care for pets—whether in your home or a client's—centers on establishing strict safety routines, maintaining clear communication, and respecting behavioral boundaries. Safe and trustworthy environment for both settings: In Your Home (Boarding or Daycare) Since you can only host pets that get along with others, pre-screening and temperament testing are critical: Conduct a "Meet & Greet": Always meet new client pets on neutral ground (like a local park or quiet sidewalk) before accepting a booking to observe how they react to other animals and strangers. Controlled Introductions: Introduce pets slowly on-leash, watching for tense body language (stiff posture, hard stares, raised hackles) before allowing free interaction. Separation Capability: Maintain dedicated, secure spaces (such as crates, playpens, or separate rooms) so pets can eat, sleep, or rest without stress or competition. Always separate animals during feeding time. Home-Proofing: Ensure backyards are fully fenced with locked gates, hide all cords/cleaning supplies, and keep trash cans secured. In the Client’s Home (House Sitting or Pet Sitting) When caring for pets in their own environment, consistency and home security are key: Follow Their Routine: Adhere strictly to the owner's instructions for feeding schedules, medication, walk routes, and bedtime rules to keep the pet calm and secure. Maintain Home Security: Keep doors and windows locked, ensure gate latches are secured, and properly manage keys or security codes. Leash & Door Safety: Never let pets off-leash in un-fenced areas, and always double-check door latches or gate locks before letting a pet loose in a yard. Emergency Readiness: Have the vet’s contact info, emergency clinic locations, and pet insurance or payment preferences clearly laid out before the owner leaves. Communication & Trust Daily Updates: Send regular photos, videos, and brief notes about feeding, potty habits, and mood to give owners complete peace of mind. Honesty First: If a pet shows anxiety, behavioral issues, or signs of illness, notify the owner promptly to discuss next steps together.

About: I absolutely love animals! I have experience with having up to 30 dogs in one yard and understand their body language to avoid fights and tiffs. I would love to help care for your fur babies to make sure they are happy and healthy! I have open availability mornings on weekdays! Evenings sometime are a little more tricky for me. If you are in need for help over a weekend reach out! I might be able to! 😁 I love making sure your pet is happy, safe and healthy. I have close attention to detail if you have any concerns, stuff to be aware of or things to be checked up on.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am a part-time nanny so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and if I'm not home, my husband Ryan is! I usually take my own dogs 1-2x daily for long walks and I would love to bring your pups along! For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.

About: I have always had a love for dogs. I walked dogs for my neighbors in my early teens. Helped my father’s dog through her birth of 11 puppies. And most recently, my 16 year old Australian Shepherd passed away just a few months ago. I adopted him at 8 weeks old and from the beginning we had a special bond. I was able to teach him things like opening doors for people. And he passed the test to become a therapy dog! I love all types of dogs. I will always treat your dog as my own. I work most nights and weekends as a restaurant manager, about 30-40 hours per week. Typically, I have the same days off every week and available most mornings. I will update my calendar as my schedule becomes available. I can easily travel to you and am able to transport your dog in my vehicle, if needed. I’m happy to walk with your dog as much as they need.

About: I have experience caring for family’s and friend’s pets and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m attentive to their individual needs and understand how important it is to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing great! I offer flexible, dedicated pet care tailored around your schedule! On weekdays, I’m available for overnight stays—giving your pets cozy evening companionship, seamless morning and dinner routines, and mid-day check-ins for puppy potty breaks or oral meds. When the weekend hits, my schedule opens up completely for 24/7 coverage, so you can head out of town knowing your furry family members are getting round-the-clock love, attention, and care. Your safety, comfort, and peace of mind are my top priorities every time I step into your home. With 3 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages—from delicate puppies and kittens to visually impaired and senior animals—I understand the importance of maintaining a secure, calm, and familiar environment. I treat every home with utmost respect, follow custom care instructions to the letter, and maintain strict security routines during drop-ins and overnight stays. You’ll receive clear communication and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and loved right where they feel most comfortable.

“Meghan is great! The best walker we have had. Our dog (who can be a handful) is endeared to Meghan. She is very trustworthy and we can always count on her.”

I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care.

I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience caring for dogs and many other animals. My family always had dogs, and I often helped care for the neighborhood pets too. I’ve always had a special love for dogs and honestly feel more comfortable around them than people! One of my proudest experiences was rescuing my own pup at 4 months old and training her completely on my own teaching her to walk on a leash, sit, stay, come, high five, and even become a certified service dog. With years of pet sitting, training, and animal care behind me, you can count on me to treat your pets like family, keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work remotely, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. This means I can provide care when your pets need it most and adapt to their routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I make sure pets feel safe and loved by sticking to their routine meals, walks, play, and snuggles just the way they’re used to. I always respect your space and follow your instructions so your pets stay happy and comfortable while you’re away.
