Lover of Giant Breeds & Pits!
Pet care experience
My name is Megan, but everyone calls me V. I'm a pharmacy tech student living in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Before moving to the city, I lived with two large dogs: a Goldendoodle named Sammy and a Saint Bernard named Joy. I trained both of them, took them to lessons, and walked them. Because I grew up with them, I have first-hand experience caring for and handling large and giant-breed dogs. Far from using force, I've discovered that a firm and patient approach is more likely to encourage good behavior. I also understand that dogs that are well-exercised, loved, and played with are happier dogs. When I visit my mom, I'm always thrilled to play with and walk her dogs. She now has a flat coated retriever and a pit-bull/Labrador mix. They're both energetic, so I can handle an excitable dog! Giant breeds and pits don't frighten me, I love working with them! I think these breeds are misunderstood, they're naturally so sweet and kind. As well as being a lover of dogs and cats, I have experience caring for exotic pets as well. I have cared for parrots (particularly cockatoos and macaws), snakes, and lizards. I have been a lover of animals for my entire life. I volunteered at the Rhode Island SPCA, Lazicki's Bird Sanctuary, and the Audubon Society. LGBTQ+ friendly
Reviews
Luka was taken care of very nicely! This was the first time leaving him alone for a long period of time so it was quite shaky in the beginning but things turned out perfectly. Communication was great, care was perfect and it looked like Luka had an amazing time! Will book again! :)
Great experience! Very knowledgeable dog caretaker!
She's great. Super sweet and Katara loved all the attention she received.
About Megan C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Having had pets for my entire life, I'm well-equipped to keep your fur baby entertained, safe, fed, and walked. I believe that pet sitting and walking is about more than just taking your dog out. A dog who is engaged and played with and loved is a happy dog!
Information Megan C. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know the breed, size, and age of your dog, along with any special things they might need, such as exercise or medication!
A typical day
My dog sitting style is interactive! I don't want to just laze around while the dog is left to their own devices; I don't believe in passive pet sitting. I like to be as involved with the animal as possible, unless they make it obvious that they want to be left alone. I love to play, groom, and take the dog for a walk!
