Pet care experience
We've had 4 family dogs that I've raised from puppies. All were happy, healthy pups! Now I have two wonderful dogs here in Louisiana that love my schedule, having a house of their own, and the large fenced-in yard. We frequent the Burbank dog park and PetSuites, always loving new friends. I also grew up with 2 cats and have experience cat-sitting cats with a variety of personalities. I have experience giving cats medicine My goal here is to offer the same services that I'd want for my dogs. That means working closely with you to understand their routine and training regime, giving them lots of love and snugs, and sending you photos and videos throughout the day. If they're in my home, I still try to stick as close to their routine as possible, we unveil new toys every day, offer puzzles and shredding enrichment, I put my dogs' charming personalities to work, and I make sure your dog gets the individualized care and attention they need.
Reviews
We could not ask for someone better to take care of our pup! Thanks, Megan!
This was the first time for us to leave our four-month, highly energetic puppy. Meghan was great with her! We were nervous to leave her for the first time and worried she would be a handful for Megan. But our puppy did very well and got along with Megan’s dogs just fine We were able to relax when we got pictures and videos from Megan. Definitely planning to use her again soon!
Amazing
Going out of town last minute, Megan was a life saver. Megan was attentive and gave me updates on Bunny throughout her stay. My dog is higher energy and she slept like a baby the day I picked her up- I know Bun was playing hard which makes me feel better about leaving her. I would definitely send my dog back!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My dogs roam the house and yard when I am home. Depending on their energy level, the weather, or time of day, I either crate them or leave them in the yard to play when I leave for a few hours. It is important that your dog can be crated or, if preferred, left alone in the yard. This will be necessary in the case of emergencies, over-stimulation, or if your dog needs a dedicated security spot. If I'm housesitting or doing drop-ins, I do my best to keep the pet's routine as close to normal as possible.
Home
Information Megan A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pet's routine. My goal is to maintain feeding, bathroom, and playtime schedules as close as possible to what they get at home. I'd also like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs, has any quirks (e.g., likes to eat underwear, chews shoes, etc.), or has any favorite games/playtime activities. Please have honest answers for whether your dog has anxieties, is crate trained, has ever marked in someone else's home, or has toy/food aggression. These are not disqualifiers; it allow me to prepare my home's set up to better accommodate your dog.
A typical day
We have a large, fenced yard and an unreasonable amount of toys for playing and I like to bring out the puzzle toys for dogs who need more stimulation. Usually stays are short enough that "new dog friend" stimulation is sufficient for tuckering everyone out. When I have extra cardboard boxes or paper grocery bags, we have supervised shredding enrichment sessions. I often take my girls to the Burbank Dog Park and I can bring your dog along if that's a park they frequent!

My schedule is currently extra flexible as I work from home! I can easily host dogs throughout the day and overnight while guaranteeing my time away from the house won't exceed 3 hours.
