Let me love your puppers!

Pet care experience

First and foremost, I can tell you that you get what you pay for! All my clients have reiterated to me that exact sentiment and they all agree, I’m worth every penny-to them and their pup(s). I am a preferred caretaker and trainer for The Hound Rescue here is Austin, TX, when they get dogs in need of rehabilitation therapies. I’ve taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes, and rescued dogs from all walks of life. In my neighborhood I’m known as ‘Megan the Mutt Mom’, ‘the dog lady’, and ‘the dog whisperer’; if ever anyone comes across a stray, they know exactly who to call to help re-home and or train that little wiggle butt. I was the GM of (and helped open) Dogtopia of North Austin, at the Lakeline Mall, so if they do it there, I do it here, just a little better 😉! I have since moved on to other endeavors and now work from home which enables me to give your dogo all the time and attention and training they could possibly need. My years of professional and personal experience with daily care, giving medications (creatively if necessary), grooming, and training, make me the perfect person to watch after your pooch! Every pooch that comes to me for an overnight, goes home with a Mutt Mani included in the cost-no matter how finicky or impossible you think your dog might be with nail trims...I can handle them. My own dogs are both rescues (they all have been, all my life, but I’m down from 4, to 2, as the others crossed the rainbow bridge); Diesel, I found as a puppy at a gas station & Lucas is a foster fail who came to me after being rescued from a kill shelter in Houston and was labeled un-adoptable because of his separation anxiety. I worked with him for months on the separation anxiety. Eventually he was ‘healed’ and we became inseparable; all he needed was someone willing to make him feel loved, secure, cared for, and to give him the proper training, environment, and understanding of his future (whether it was 5 minutes from now or 5 days from now). Fast forward 2 years and he is the best dog anyone could ever ask to have & his separation anxiety is completely nonexistent. I’m a work from home mutt mom so I’m available any time to play with, groom, walk, socialize, and care for your beloved four legged mate. I have flexible pick up and drop off times. Diesel and Lucas would love to have consistent friends! I have a large fenced in 8,000 square foot yard which means plenty of room for plenty of four legged friends, and friendly fluffy friends to keep your dog company. If your dog prefers a more isolated environment and is more of a ‘people dog’, I have a two story home and several areas to keep my pups safely separated.

Megan has been absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with! She sent over photos and videos of my dog each day, and during Christmas, which I am so grateful for. Highly recommended!

Megan did such a great job with my pup Willie Nelson. She sent me pictures of him the whole time, and really just put my mind at ease. I was very impressed with her check in process. She had a piece of the yard sectioned off with a small fence to allow the dogs to have a controlled meet. Willie was welcomed into the pack promptly, and had himself a nice weekend vacation at the doggy spa playing with new friends. I will definitely be looking up Megan again in the future!

Megan exceeded our expectations! We have never left Baylor with anyone--Megan was our first. She relieved our fears by sending us texts, videos and photos of Baylor having the time of his life. Baylor had the best time ever, and so did we knowing he was so well taken care of!

I have a large fenced in yard where your four legged friend can run and play all day (weather dependent) and tile floors so typical tinkle accident with puppies, will be a non issue. There is a long 10+ mi trail just a few blocks from my front door so long walks are absolutely in our future!

Information Megan C. would like to know about your pet

Name Breed Age Temperament Command words Training & diet restrictions Anything you’re actively working on to train them into or out of-staying consistent is so important! I have no breed preference but intact males will incur an additional fee, no matter how young.

A typical day

Your pup will have a huge back yard to play in with the other dogs if they’re high energy, or will have a comfy cozy dog bed to lie in if they prefer human interaction and are a bit more laid back. We venture on walks to a path just around the corner from the house, along Gilleland Creek. I love taking my boys off leash at Walnut Creek but will only do so with your pup after a relationship has been established (so they come to me when called) as well as have your blessing. We always have a snack time and nap mid day. If your doggo is in training, I will work with them on their commands while they’re here, to keep consistency. If your dog is high energy and needs lots of mental stimulation but is not enrolled in a training program, I will stimulate their mind with different games and commands to tire them out-body & mind, as best possible! Please know that any destruction of property by your dog will not be tolerated, even at the lowest level, and by booking with me, you agree to reimbursed at the full cost of replacement for any and all damages (from marking/peeing to severe property damage). If you think your dog might have destructive tendencies but you have a resolution before damage occurs (crating, for example, muzzling while the dog out of sight for even a second) please let me know in advance and I will adjust the rate for your service accordingly. I am an honest person, I expect that you are, too.

I am currently working from home so I have more than enough time for your pup! I love repeat customers and hope that once your dog(s) have been cared for by me, you’ll allow your four legged friend the opportunity to bond by being a regular! Consistency is key with them, after all.
