Availability
Pet care isn't just a side job; it's a valued part of my established routine, which means consistent and dedicated care for your dog. As a college student, I am available on different hours each day during the week. My family works with me to allow dogs potty breaks, play time and love while I am in class. Weekly Availability I am generally available for drop-ins, and house-sitting during the following times: Monday: Available before 8:30 am and after 12:30pm. Tuesday: available before 9:30am and after 3:30pm. Wednesday: available before 8:30am and after 3:30pm. Thursday: available before 9:30am and after 6:30pm. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: I offer flexible, full-day availability for house-sitting and extended services. What to expect: Walks and playtime that breaks up your dog's afternoon after you've left for work. Dedicated, unhurried attention. Between me and my family your dog gets full focus and energy. Please reach out with your specific needs! I'm happy to discuss how my schedule and reliable availability can best support your pet's routine.

Safety, trust & environment
When your dog stays with us, they become a member of the family. My home is set up to be a safe, clean, and low-stress environment where your pet can relax and thrive. Security and Supervision During the Day I want to be upfront about my schedule so you can be confident in the care I provide: Supervision: Guests are not 100% supervised throughout the day. My kids and I are at school for some time during the week (Monday through Thursday), I am away for a several hours at a time during the school day. My teenagers get home before I do and are responsible enought to play and give out potty breaks for your dogs. Security During Alone Time: Before I leave, all dogs are securely placed in a safe, dog-proofed area or kennel (based on your dog's preference) with fresh water and comfortable bedding. Doggie Door Access: For reliable house-trained dogs, we have a doggie door available that provides continuous, secure access to our fenced yard for potty breaks while I am away. This is a great feature for independent dogs who enjoy frequent outdoor access. My Resident Dog: A Friendly Host I share my home with Kilo, a friendly Irish Wolfhound Poodle Mix (a Wolfadoodle!) who genuinely loves having canine company! We actively encourage supervised, positive play sessions in our secure yard. However, your dog's comfort is my priority: Managed Socialization: Introductions are slow and monitored. If needed, I have the ability to easily separate my dog from guests using designated gates and areas, ensuring both dogs have their own peaceful space for meals, rest, or if a break is needed. The Home Environment Secure Fenced Yard: I have a wooden and welded wire fenced yard for safe, contained playtime and bathroom breaks. All gates are double-checked before outdoor sessions. Structure and Comfort: I maintain a consistent daily schedule (feeding times, walk schedules, and potty breaks) closely aligned with your dog's routine to minimize anxiety. I provide comfortable, dedicated sleeping areas for rest. Daily Updates: Trust is built on communication. You will receive regular photo or video updates daily so you can see your happy dog enjoying their stay, if desired. My goal is to make your dog feel safe and loved, ensuring you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Pet care experience
Pet Care Experience: More Than Just a Sitter I've been a passionate dog enthusiast and reliable caregiver for over 15 years, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. My experience isn't just about feeding and walking; it's about providing genuine companionship and a fun, safe environment. I regularly handle all aspects of routine care, including medication administration, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and enforcing positive reinforcement training that owners already have in place. Whether it's a calm cuddle session or a high-energy adventure, I tailor my approach to meet your dog's unique needs and personality. What Sets Me Apart: A Focus on Connection and Safety While many sitters offer basic care, I believe your pet deserves a partner who is attentive, active, and highly informed. What makes me different is my combination of energetic engagement and deep understanding of canine behavior: My patience and understanding of dog body language mean I can spot subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or over-excitement before they become an issue. This ensures a low-stress, enjoyable experience for your pet and allows me to introduce toys and activities that they genuinely love. Safety is My #1 Priority: Beyond basic supervision, I focus on proactive safety. This includes double-checking gates, being aware of environmental hazards, and using proper leash handling techniques, especially around traffic or unfamiliar dogs. I am constantly vigilant so you never have to worry. The Ultimate Playmate: I bring genuine, playful energy to every session. I'm not afraid to get on the floor for a game of tug-of-war or dedicate time to an extensive walk and play session to ensure your dog is physically and mentally satisfied by the end of the day. A tired dog is a happy and well-behaved dog!
Reviews
My elderly dog had a great stay with Megan and her family.
Megan was so awesome! She provided updates and photos the whole time she was watching my doggo. My dog came home happy and tired from playing! Definitely a safe & happy place for your doggo to stay!
Megan and her family did a great job caring for our two dogs. She sent updates often and commented with us well. We would definitely recommend using her.
My Diesel is very comfortable staying with Megan, and her family, when I have to leave town. I do not worry about him at all and he always comes home happy! Thank you Megan!
