Vet tech-pet sitter extraordinaire!
Pet care experience
For the last twelve years I have been proud to serve people and their pets! I spent seven years as a veterinarian technician and have a skillset ranging from wellness care, to emergency and even specialized medicine. To make more of a difference in our community, I made the leap from medicine to welfare four years ago. In that time, I have developed programming for shelters in both Pierce and Kitsap Counties so that pets never have to enter the shelter environment and can stay in their loving homes! Though I have devoted my life to this work, I still enjoy pet sitting in my free time. Every animal is an individual and I take great joy in being a small part of your pet’s life! I lead with honesty, compassion and always a sense of humor! I share my home with my three fur girls, Piper, a “house hippo” pittie mix, Gertrude, a Standard Poodle and Prudence, a foster kitten who never left! I can't wait to meet your pet!
Reviews
Always does a great job with our girls! Wonderful with giving us lots of photos and feedback about the day and visits!
Meg did such a wonderful job (again) of taking care of our 4 cats over the holidays. She gave them lots of love and attention and even their gifts on Christmas :) She managed to clean up after them daily so we could come back to a clean home. Couldn’t recommend enough and will hopefully be using her next time!
She is always so kind and sweet with the kitties and in communication! Always feels nice to know that someone as dedicated as she is will take care of your goobers while you’re gone. Thank you as always!
Always a joy having Meg care for our fur babies! And super thankful for her help last minute.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in meeting animals where they are, rather than where we expect them to be. Because of my background, I am able to use good judgment and discern if something feels off medically or behaviorally.
Information Meg K. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications as well as adjusting visits to be unique to your pets needs. Please don’t be afraid to be upfront and detailed about the care you feel is important for your pet.
A typical day
I treat your pet with the same compassion and fun I would of my own! I love seeing their personalities shine as they feel more comfortable during our visits.
