Experienced with special needs pets
Pet care experience
I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others.

Reviews
Amazing pet sitter! I’m very grateful to Meaghan for the incredible care she gave my dog. She was attentive, responsible, and loving at all times. She kept me updated, followed all my instructions, and it was clear that she truly cares about animals. My dog was happy, calm, and in great hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her.
She was great with my lab and golden. Highly recommend 😊
Awesome sitter for our pups. In addition to having to give meds to one, she was super attentive and our pups had a blast! 10/10 would recommend!!
Meaghan fostered a special needs dog for us here at the rescue. She was amazing working with her on training and socialization. She was a deaf dog so Meaghan worked on her with sign language signaling. She was able to find a home within only a couple weeks thanks to Meaghan!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

Information Meaghan S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or disabilities so I can plan ahead. I have experience with senior pets, deaf dogs, reactive dogs and more, so it's no problem as long as I have a heads up! I want to provide a safe space for your pet, so please let me know how I can do that. If they need to be the only pet in my care, please plan on booking ahead of time and leave a note.
A typical day
I love a daily trip to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood, and getting animals extra enrichment through puzzle toys, snuffle mats, and more. My dog loved to "hunt" for his treats, so I have all sorts of enrichment toys and fun activities.

Availability
I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks.
