Pet care experience
Hi! Animals, especially dogs have been in my life since I was born, they just make life so much better! Here’s a little info about me :) I have been a Professional Horse Trainer my entire adult life, grew up riding horses and been around animals literally forever! I was born and raised on a small horse ranch here in Santa Barbara with numerous types of animals. Over the past several years I discovered my passion for caring for other people’s pets and their homes. I have 30+ years experience caring for pets. I am aware when an animal is in need, not acting like itself, and if/when medical attention is necessary. I will contact the you (the owner) and we will go from there. I have built great relationships over the many years with the best small and large animal vets in town, (bonus!) When I take on the responsibility of someone’s pet(s) they’re treated as if they are my own❤️ Please feel free to call or text any questions at all. Hope to meet your baby soon! I require proof of vaccinations in advance for the safety of my pets, thanks! When I take on a dog sitting or house sitting job I consider it full time. Your pup would never be left for long periods of time and will always get the proper amount of exercise. I have a fenced front and back yard, and keep my door open for them to freely go in and out as they please. I have two friendly and welcoming dogs of mine own so your pup would always have a buddy. When I leave home your pup will be safe inside my home with my two dogs.
Reviews
I couldn't have left our dogs with anyone better! Megan took all three of ours for several nights, as we hosted our daughter's wedding and reception at our home. From start to finish, she was responsive, clear, easy to communicate with... AND absolutely wonderful with the dog! I am so thankful for this site and for finding Megan. Thank you!!!
Gus loves staying with Megan! She does such a great job taking care of him-always sending photos and videos so I know what’s going on, quick to respond to texts, and most importantly, I can tell she genuinely cares for my puppy.
Megan took fantastic care of our 14 week mini australian shepherd puppy, Riley. He had the best time playing with her pups, it was like puppy summer camp. She was very conscientious of our being nervous about leaving him for the first time overnight and kept us constantly updated. We will absolutely use her services again.
MEGAN was great . She kept us updated all the time sending us pictures of our english bulldog. I TOTALLY recommend booking with her. Diva was so happy . Thank u Megan

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced front and backyard, and I have a magnetic screen door on my front door so they can go in and out as they please when I am home. They love sunbathing on my front porch. I try to keep things the same as the dog is used to in their own home :)

Information Megan H. would like to know about your pet
The most important factor to me before taking responsibility of a pet is to know their history. Allergies, medications, temperament and past incidents. It is important to inform me of what not only makes your dog happy, but also, what makes them nervous or scared in any way. The more info the better! I require a meet and greet before the dog sitting period begins. No breed preferences ???
A typical day
I enjoy spending quality time with my animals outdoors in a safe environment. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Mini Dachshund so both require different types of exercise methods. Depending on the breed/health/size of the dog I am watching, determines the activities we do for exercise. I love jogging the Hope Ranch trails or the Modoc Preserve with my big guy Elvis and any dog I’m watching that enjoys that type of active will come along. I like taking the big dogs that need a good romping around to the school field near me and letting them get their energy out. Small dogs who prefer to stay separate from the bigs (like my Chloe) get their own walks + play sessions where they don’t have to worry about getting in the way of the bigs. I am blessed to have a fenced front + back yard. No pets are left in either yard unattended. If I do run out for an errand, they will all be inside with Elvis and Chloe. If your dog prefers a specific activity, like fetching the ball, just let me know + I will make that happen! Exercise (and fun play time!) is key to a healthy life style, happy pets, and a good nights sleep!
