Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are family
Since childhood, I’ve always felt most at home among nonhuman animals, and I’ll never understand humans who treat animals as less deserving of love, respect, and care. My animals are my family, and I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I have experience with cats and dogs of all temperaments. One of my dogs has a history of reactivity and aggression towards other dogs. I feel very comfortable managing this type of behavior using treats, ecollar, muzzle, prevention techniques, and communication with other dog-owners. I’m also experienced managing groups of dogs off leash and will work with your dog to reinforce good recall and safety behaviors (such as stopping at intersections, waiting before they go out of sight, sitting for cars, passing other dogs, etc.).

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Megan is one of the most thoughtful and caring pet owners that I have encountered. She is intuitive, responsible, and will do everything in her power to meet the needs of the animals that she cares for. I would absolutely trust her to take great care of my animals. Additionally, I'm sure your pets will be stoked to make a great new friend!
Megan is an amazing pet parent and pet sitter! She is trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable about animals and caring for them, kind, and caring. She treats your pets like they are her own. There is no one else I would trust more to take care of my pets. She has a ton of experience with fostering cats and dogs, as well as having cats and dogs of her own that are living their best lives.
I trust Megan with any of my animals! With cats and dogs, she is gentle, patient, respectful, and very in tune with what and how they are communicating. She is great with my cat and can easily provides care, play, and love to him. Megan has also met and provided support for a rotating cast of foster dogs who have stayed at my home. From reactive dogs to dogs with medical concerns, Megan always checks in about what is ok for a dog on any given day/moment, and she has gone through extensive training and research with her own pups that underscore all her interactions with other dogs and humans! She is always thinking about enrichment, physical and mental stimulation, and plenty of exercise for her own animals!

Schedule
I am a writer who works from home. I am available for daycare, afternoon walks & drop-ins, and select boarding for dogs who get along well with my two dogs and are good with cats. If your dog is trained off-leash, has solid recall, and is either good with other dogs or muzzle trained, I offer pack hikes and walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard with a dog door that goes into the main living areas. My two dogs & 4 cats are onsite. Your dog must be good with cats and other dogs or be muzzle-trained to attend daycare or boarding at my home. Your dogs will get a walk or adventure during daycare (unless you prefer them not to, in which case they must be able to stay home alone for 1-2 hours either kenneled or loose without becoming destructive). To attend off-leash pack walks/hikes, your dogs must demonstrate reliable recall even when triggers are present (such as an other dogs, wildlife, cats, cars, etc.). Your dog must also have no history of aggression towards other dogs or people OR be muzzle-trained.
Pets
A typical day
I will make sure your dogs get lots of cuddles and attention and at least one outdoor adventure. My neighborhood has a pond for swimming and paddleboarding, and there are lots of nearby walks and hikes.
