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.

About Meaghan S.
Communication
Dog skills
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, deaf, blind or reactive pets, 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.

Experienced with special needs pets
Pet care experience
I have experience with deaf, blind, 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
Meaghan did a great job watching our pup Cali for an afternoon/evening while we attended an event! We will 100% be contacting her again the next time we are in Lincoln and need pet care 😊
She’s so wonderful. Sends lots of lovely photos. Loves our boys. Can’t recommend her enough!
Meaghan communicated really well and I can tell my dog had a nice time with her!
Meaghan was great with our two dogs Stella and Brickle! Brickle has bad separation anxiety and has destructive behaviors if left alone so finding a dog sitter for him has been such a big challenge and Meaghan agreed without hesitation! She took both dogs on several walks a day, sent photos and updates, and cared for them like family! Definitely recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and honest pet sitter!
