Availability

I work full time M-F 7-3. My partner is able to come home on his lunch break around 12 so dogs get a potty break in the afternoon. I use potty pads with our rescue pups anyway, but this schedule works well for us all. I have crates or space for your crates if needed for training. *Important, PLEASE READ* Our pack tends to do best with females and small/medium dogs- and because of our yard fence and style, we do not accept dogs over 40 lbs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard for outside potty time and play. I understand how scary it is to leave your dogs for one, and even harder to leave them somewhere strange to them! My dogs love having guests to roam the yard with, and to lounge and romp on the couch! I am happy to come to your home if that is where your dog is most comfortable, and help follow your routines. My dogs can stay happily at home with their dad. *Important, PLEASE READ* Through the months of August-May I only do boarding. I am more open and flexible during summer hours to house sit.

Information Megan D. would like to know about your pet

I have experience working with senior dogs and special needs- my first dog has IVDD as a senior, so I realize the special attention and care that older dogs need. I’ve had to administer medication and eye drops. Our first foster dog also had epileptic seizures, and we fostered a dog with a paralyzed back end. Just let me know if your dog has any special needs or considerations.

A typical day

We spend a lot of time in the yard playing fetch, and my bigger dog loves walks. I take her to a local walking trail, or around the neighborhood. My dogs love to play with each other and their toys.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs all my life, but I adopted MY first baby 15 years ago, and he was the love of my life! My partner and I now have 4 dogs and one cat. Several years ago we started fostering, and we failed a couple of cuties who came in and never left, doubling the size of our pack. We love seniors and rescue mamas in this house, and we’ve had success with fearful pups, helping them find confidence and learn to love.

Megan is a lovely person who truly cares for animals. She did everything to make Molly's stay pleasant, relaxing and fun. Molly had a sleep issue initially as she adjusted, but Megan was able to calm her and resolve it for the rest of the week. We would definitely use Megan again and hihly recommend her!🐾❤️

Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!
