About: I've taken care of many dogs and cats over the years of all shapes and sizes. Up to 5 animals at one time in the past. I lost my last pet and want to help others while I grieve. I recently returned to Northern Michigan after the passing of my father to help my mother. Had to leave corporate job and looking for a happier pace of life and to give back to animals, who saved my life during a difficult time. I love walks and live right by the bike trails and near several parks. I also love cuddling on the couch and allow animals on the furniture if they're allowed to in their home. I would treat them like my own and follow any and all rules/restrictions to the letter. I always want to meet the pet and the family beforehand so everyone feels comfortable. I'm an open book and just like helping people. Ask any and all questions needed please!

My friendly and attentive nature ensures that your pets feel loved and safe while you are away. Whether it is playtime, walks or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own! I currently work in a 5-start hotel resort in Aspen, but my flexible schedule allows me plenty of time to care for pets. As a passionate pet lover, I see pet sitting as more than just a job, it is something I genuinely enjoy. With two years of experience caring for cats and dogs, I bring the same dedication and attentiveness to pets as I do to my primary love. I tailor my care to meet each pets specific needs, whether it is in my home or my clients home. I provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment, ensuring pets feel relaxed and happy. For dogs I offer regular walks, playtime and plenty of attention while cats receive the care and affection they need to feel secure. I follow all feeding, exercise and medication schedule provided by the owner to maintain their routine. My goal is to create a street-free experience for both the pets and their owners.

About: Hi, I'm Meghan! a lifelong animal lover that you can count on. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've grown up with a variety of animals including: dogs (both big and small), cats (both outgoing and timid), as well as even the smallest of pets (like hamsters, bunnies, snakes, fish, and lizards) and I truly believe our pets are family. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals, I'm attentive, patient, and committed to following any and all instructions to keep your pet safe and happy while you're away. This includes any specific routines, medications, or favorite toys. I'll make sure everything runs smoothly just the way they like it. Whether you need someone to drop in, go for a walk, or provide overnight care, I'd love to help. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone new and I promise to treat them like my own. I'm comfortable with all types of personalities and would welcome a meet-and-greet to learn more about your needs! I work part-time over the summer but I still have availability for early mornings, afternoons, evenings drop-ins/walks and overnights on most days depending on location. Your pets comfort and safety come first - especially in their own home. I take great care to follow any and all instructions closely so your pet can stick to their normal routine like feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications or playtime.
