Meg can care for
Availability
I'm self-employed and work from home, so my schedule is somewhat flexible outside my own animal care and work duties. Typically available midday for lunchtime walks while you're at work, as well as early morning and nighttime drop-ins for cats while you're away.

About Meg R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Leashed walks in your neighborhood or through the trails of the Wissahickon. Bathing facilities on premises so your pup comes home clean after their adventures! In your home, I'll follow your lead for protocols and walking/play territory.
Information Meg R. would like to know about your pet
Any behaviors you're trying to reinforce or discourage will be great to know so I can support your practice. Dietary restrictions, and any red flags to watch out for on walks.
A typical day
I'm all about breed-appropriate activity and following the pet parent's lead re pet communication, behavior, and education. Most of my experience is with Australian cattle dogs, beagles, spaniel breeds, small terrier breeds, and gentle giants like Bernese mountain dogs and great Danes-- so I know my way around pullers, sniffers, jumpers, and couch potatoes! I have lots of games, activities, and training tricks specific for them, like long runs, hikes, obstacle courses, and tracking games. I'm also open to discovering your pups favorite activities. And a casual walk around the neighborhood is always good, too.

Calm, Consistent Pet Care
Pet care experience
40 years of experience working with all kinds of animals, including dogs and cats, exotics, goats, chickens, and wildlife. Trained in dog and cat CPR, positive behavior, and nutrition. As a wildlife rescue/rehab volunteer I've fed baby birds and opossums, cared for fawns, and helped prep hawks and owls for release back into nature. A positive experience for our animal companions comes down to consistency, love, and good communication. Ask me about care for seniors, special needs, and exotics.

Meg also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
