Pet care experience
Loving Dog-Sitter with Large Yard
As a dog (and animal) lover with experience as a dog-foster mom, animal rescue volunteer, I will provide your precious pup with loving care. We lost our wonderful 15-year-old Boxer in October 2025 and after many years of having a 'home dog' as my daughter called Bristol, we are solely getting our cuddles and pets now from our pup guests. I'm looking forward to making your pup feel as 'at home' as can be while you are away. My experience with dogs in shelters, dog sitting for friends/neighbors, and being a dog mom for 20+ years to my sweet girls (Samantha, Briley & Bristol), in addition to being raised in a family that adored dogs, leaves me with a soft spot for each and every furry, 4-legged pooch. My Rover journey loosely started in 2018, but I was actively fostering dogs through Underdog MN in Minneapolis and didn't have the space to also take on Rover clients. Then, there was the series of events: pandemic, welcomed a daughter, and moved to Iowa. I started providing care through Rover in late 2024 and it has been so rewarding and fun. We have really enjoyed getting to know our repeat guests and my daughter and I talk about our newfound dog friends even while they aren't with us, hoping we can see them again. Safety first! Often, there will be two dog guests at one time, while always being mindful of temperaments and preferences of each dog. Occasionally, during busy times there may be 3 pups visiting, especially in brief overlaps of drop-offs and pick-ups. While dogs can have the run of the house, they are supervised and dogs from different homes are not left alone together while I'm away, which typically is for relatively brief periods of time to do a drop-off/pick-up or errand. Dogs are also fed separately in their own areas for safety. If your pup is more of a grazer (as our Bristol was), I may have to offer the food periodically throughout the day when another pup guest is present making sure it's available when they are wanting it but not leaving it out throughout the day. I know the importance of having strong communication and trust in those who are caring for your dog and hope to meet your pet very soon!

Ratings and reviews
Meagan and her family are seriously my fav! Zion lovessss spending time there and their new family member, sweet Mabel, only adds so much fun to his adventures there! I love the updates, photos and funny moments. Meagan is the best! 😁😁
Meagan was fantastic! She offered a meet up before Mabel’s stay so everyone could get introduced. We were able to talk through her routine and other details before dropping her off. Mabel was so excited to be back the morning of drop and it could have gone smoother! Our trip got extended by a day and Meagan was able to take our dog earlier than initially planned. Her communication and daily updates reassured us Mabel was in the best hands and she felt at home! We had an excellent experience and we will definitely rebook with Meagan in the future!
Meagan has just the right amount of communication for our family regarding our dog. We know he is in good hands when he can't get out of the car fast enough! Thanks for opening up your home to our sweet boy!
Meagan is the best! She loves my Coco and takes such good care of her!
We had to leave poor Brooke for our longest vacation ever with a newly diagnosed double ear infection and medicated drops to be give 2x/day. Meagan didn't even bat an eye and was totally on top of it, even when Brooke really didn't want anything to do with those drops. We can always count on Meagan to take such good care of Brooke!
This was our first experience with Rover and we cannot say enough good things about Meagan and the overall process. Meagan provided daily reports and pictures which were very much appreciated. We'll definitely use Meagan again.

Schedule
I have the benefit of working remotely and enjoy taking time throughout the day to provide pet care. My schedule is flexible and I can adjust according to what's needed to allow pups to spend time outdoors or take walks.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in and very spacious backyard! I follow all safety instructions from each family to ensure animals stay safe and are always supervised. In addition to yard safety, effective March 2026, I have started a kennel cough protocol. Fortunately, there have been no known cases (asymptomatic or symptomatic) but after learning recently that droplets can remain in the air for up to 2 weeks, I've incorporated an extra cleaning step after each dog visit to have an extra layer of disinfectant and would also like to ask each family to share info on updated shots for Bordetella which is required yearly, but more ideally if dogs will be in social settings is ideal every 6 months. If you'd like to share a screenshot over the app or bring along the forms, it will be great to confirm the safety of your dog and minimize any risk to the next guest. In the same records should be the current Rabies and Distemper/Parvovirus (DHPP or DAPP) as well.

A typical day
Our house is a cozy and loving one where dogs have free-reign (unless crating is needed, of course) and with this also comes routine, structure and good boundaries. With frequent jaunts outside, plentiful play time with one another (& my daughter!) and nap time inside, pups will stay mentally/physically engaged and cared for.
