Active and Passionate Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Megan, born and raised in Denver, Colorado. As a native Coloradan, I have a passion for nature. From hiking up 14ers, to rafting, to rock climbing, I will be up for any outdoor adventure. While I like adventuring myself, I also love to take dogs on adventures, such as hiking or swimming in dog-friendly lakes (with the permission from the owners, of course). I love watching a dog run through an open field with a smile on his/her face. I have lived on a farm my entire life, so animals are no mystery to me. Growing up, we always had at least three dogs (not to mention horses, chickens, and goats!) on the property, ranging from breeds like Miniature American Eskimos, Australian Cattle Dogs, Mastiffs, and Chihuahuas! I am experienced in handling dogs with minor anger issues as a few dogs I've owned had some themselves. Over the years I’ve learned how to read a dog’s body language to recognize potentially stressful or dangerous situations. I promise to love your dog like they are my own!

Megan went above and beyond! We had a young a puppy and she even pitched in with training. She was also amazing with our older dog, making sure to take them both on daily walks and giving them lots of cuddles. Megan certainly has a passion for what she does, and we would love to have her back next time we go out of town! I highly recommend using Megan as your dog sitter- you won’t be disappointed!

Megan is great! She’s incredibly kind and thoughtful and you really couldn’t ask for a better person to watch your pups, or really any other animals you might have. She’s the kind of person who will always go above and beyond and do a little bit extra to make sure they feel cared for and safe with her while you’re away. You really can’t go wrong by hiring her.

Megan was a fantastic dog sitter and we were delighted with her professionalism and experience. She made sure to clarify any questions regarding our list of instructions before we left, and so we felt completely comfortable the whole week we were away. She will be our go-to dog sitter for any future trips!

Megan’s love for animals extends way beyond her own pupp! She was very helpful with my rambunctious dog while my family and I were out of town. She made sure he went on plenty of walks and had tuckered him out enough for lots of snuggle time too. We will definitely be using her for dog sitting again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently boarding animals, but I will care for your pet any way that you request in your home! Whether that is daily mental stimulation, administering supplements and medication, or simply a healthy dose of cuddles. :) You can be assured that your pet will always be on a leash and never left alone when/if taken off of your property.

Information Megan D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if there are any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. There is rarely a reason I would turn away a dog in need of a companion while you're away, but I do like to plan ahead of time for any extra requests.

A typical day

I love running, so with your permission, I'd love to take your pup with me! After a run, we'd cool down with a casual stroll through the neighborhood so your dog can catch up on all the new smells to be smelled. I am happy taking your dog to the dog park where they can socialize with other dogs, or on a hike in Shenandoah National Park!

I work full time (6-8 hours/day, Monday-Friday), but I am very attentive before and after work! My work schedule can also be pretty flexible, if needed. I am happy to work something out if your pup needs more mid-day care! :) I don't work weekends, so your pup will have constant supervision when I'm around.
