I am currently in school full-time, but do a lot of learning from home. I go to school about three days per week for no more than 7 hours. I work part-time at a gym two nights of the week, but am happy to book some time off to make sure your pet gets the attention that they need!

About Megan D.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for all fur-babies as if they are my own. As a pet-owner myself, I know the importance of having someone you trust to watch your furry family member. That level of care extends to your home - I am clean, responsible, and have been independently living and maintaining my own space for ten years. When you return, you can expect to find your home in a better state than you left it.
Information Megan D. would like to know about your pet
There's lots to know about a pet. Please inform me if yours has any conditions or behaviours that I should be made aware of. I am experienced working with elderly and special needs animals, reactive animals, oral medication administration, and providing injectable medications.
A typical day
I believe in letting your pet set the pace. They love to run? Great, I am active by nature. They want to veg on the couch? Awesome, I have a long list of Netflix series to catch up on, books to read and lots of studying to do. Cuddles? Cool, love that. Alone time? Also, love that. Let me know what your pet's needs are, and I am confident that I can meet them.

Pet care experience
Hi, and so nice to meet you! My name is Megan. I am a naturopathic medical intern, adventure seeker, and animal lover. I have had pets since before I can remember. My first pets were a black cat named Lucky, and two Samoyed x Huskies, Snowball and Snow White. The love they showed me in my primary years inspired a love for animals that has never wavered! I started working with Rover when I moved away from home to pursue my education. University was fun and my friends were great, but something was still undeniably missing. I knew I needed some furry love in my life - which is how I found Rover! I have taken care of dogs for more years than I can count. I was the neighbourhood dog walker, dog watcher, and puppy cuddler. I have recently discovered my love for cats, and have been caring for them on and off over the last three years. I treat every pet as if they are my own, and will make sure your fur baby feels as comfortable as possible when you are away!

Reviews
Megan is a one of a kind dog sitter. My dog has a really hard time trusting new people and had recently snapped at a dog sitter. She is a reactive large breed (106lbs) and when we told megan about these issues, she approached them with compassion and confidence and my dog felt that immediately. Megan took our tips for navigating the dogs trust very seriously, my dog warmed to her completely. We usually have issues with her not eating while were away because of anxiety, but she had none of these issues with megan which speaks volumes about how comfortable she was. On top of handling our dog so well, she was communicative, provided updates, and left the house shining. She even went above and beyond to wash the sheets for our return. All of this is so appreciated after a long travel day. I not only will 100% use megan again, but i highly recommend for others who struggle with large breed reactive dogs. Sitters who can handles these dogs are so hard to come by and Megan is exactly that! Thank you so so much.
This was our second time using Meghan as our dog and house sitter, and this stay was slightly longer than the first. Just like last time, we were very pleased with her kindness and excellent communication. It’s clear to us that our dog, Mila, truly enjoys her presence, and Meghan is always very respectful of our home. We will definitely continue to use Meghan whenever we need a sitter!!
We recently had Megan look after our dog for the first time while we were out of town for four nights, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was very accommodating and even arrived early to meet us before we left. Megan also took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure she was a good fit and that our dog felt comfortable with her. Our dog can be quite timid, and we were initially nervous about leaving her with someone new, but Megan quickly put us at ease. She communicated with us regularly, sending daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We also came home to a clean and tidy house. Megan made us feel completely comfortable and confident that our dog was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Megan was so good with our girls again. We have an active dog and young cat who both require a lot of attention and she handled them both with ease. We are always comfortable knowing Megan is looking after them when we are away. Thanks again for such great care for our girls! We appreciate you.
