Reviews
Meagan was fabulous with our very shy cat Simba. He warmed up to her very quickly. Meagan sent full reports every visit along with photos. I would absolutely book again with her. She is a gem ❤️
As always, Meagan took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away.
Megan is totally amazing! If you are reading this review, please go somewhere else because we want Megan to ourselves. I have no clue how she was able to connect with my snobby lazy cats and make them love her, but we don't want to share that talent with any of you. I've never met someone so trustworthy, and we will never bother with another sitter. If Megan is not available, we will change our vacation dates.
As always, Meagan took great care of our cats!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is one of my top priorities! I have a nice spacious grassy backyard with high fences and I am also close to lots of pathways, parks and conservation areas for daily walks and hikes. Written consent is required for hiking trips. I am a runner so feel free to let me know if your dog would benefit more from a run over a walk. Be sure to let me know they’re maximum distance and what terrain they’re used to for their safety. I do offer complimentary all natural paw balm application to protect their paws from the elements. Although I have a fenced in backyard, dogs are never left unattended. I have doggy gates to block off access to stairs if required. If your dog is crate trained and requires being crated at certain times, I have a variety of sizes available. For reactive dogs on walks I double leash and/or harness to prevent slipping out of their collar. Safety straps are used as well connecting from the least to the collar/harness. Leashes and safety straps are supplied by myself and are made of durable, high-quality Biothane. *Please note: For the safety of myself and your dog(s), walks will NOT be permitted during active thunder and lightning. During inclement weather such as snow storms, walking routes and times may vary. I do have a large variety of dog toys, beds and blankets that I provide which are cleaned and sanitized. I am also not responsible for lost or damaged toys, beds or blankets so please leave them at home. If they tend to chew apart or eat certain toys, or have hoarding aggression, please inform me. Dog/cat aggressive dogs will be unable to board but I can offer house sitting or drop in visits to help accommodate. With having a veterinary technician background, I have extensive knowledge and skill sets which means I can offer a wide-range of medical services (additional fees apply). *Important Information* - Insured by ProFur - I am vaccinated for rabies Medications? I can administer oral, topical and injectable medications. Upcoming vet appointment? I can take them. Ran out of medications? Simply request a refill and I can pick it up. Due for a groom? Book so your pet goes home looking extra fresh. A grooming quote will be provided prior. Additional services available Medical Rates: - Medications - $5/day (unlimited amount of medications) - Veterinary Appointments - starting at $40/visit (pick up/drop off) Grooming Rates: - Nail dremeling - $5 with complimentary nail trim - Anal glands or ear cleaning - $10 - The Works Package (full groom) starting at $55 depending on breed and coat condition (bath, blow dry, brush, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning) - Refresher Package (bath and nail trim) starting at $25 - Additional grooming fee will apply if pets are dropped off with a severely dirty coat (being covered in urine or feces).
