Dependable animal lover & sitter
Pet care experience
(COVID 19 Update: I have been taking social distancing very seriously and avoiding contact outside of my household except for recent mandatory work trainings. I will be wearing a mask while walking your dog and/or doing drop in visits. I will disinfect all surfaces regularly while house sitting and bring my own cups/plates/utensils) I am a reliable and experienced animal care provider looking to spend some quality time with your wonderful pets while you are away on vacation or having a busy day at the office! I am a college graduate born and raised in Portland OR and currently work in the childcare and education field professionally. I am located near South Eugene high school and commute around town via my bicycle (keep it green!). I am a special education classroom assistant at a local school during the school year and am working part time this summer at a non-profit nature day camp. I have lots of experience with dogs and other animals including cats and reptiles, making me the perfect care taker for all of your your furry (or scaly/feathered/furless!) friends. In regards to dogs, I have experience with pups of diverse ages, breeds, sizes, needs, and activity levels. I have helped with raising, caring for, and training my family's dog (an adorable and energetic six year old golden-doodle named Cedar) since he was eight weeks old. I am very comfortable with canines of all sorts-- young, old, blind, hyper, big, special needs, small. Multiple dogs is something I am experienced with as well I look forward to giving your companions the same love and attention I would for my own pets! p.s. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or inquiries! Additionally, booking a meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit is always free of charge.
Reviews
Megan is fantastic! She stayed at our house with our two pups for a few days, both large dogs, one of which is a little neurotic. Highly recommend and would definitely book with again!!
Megan is the best! She stayed at my home and took care of my two dogs while I was out of town for the weekend. One of my dogs is really anxious around new people, but Megan was so wonderful with him. I received regular updates and communication throughout the weekend and felt really comfortable the whole time. I'll definitely be calling Megan next time I need to go away. Thank you!!
Megan did a wonderful job caring for my dog. She was patient while giving my dog all of the love and play time he needed. I would recommend Megan because not only is she experienced at caring for dogs, which definitely shows, she also really listens to what the pet owner needs.
Megan's excited, empathetic spirit towards animals encourages them to respond eagerly in return. She consistently matches their energy and---when it's well-mannered, of course---pushes them to show off their favorite toys, test their talents, and other activities that further their joy as she would a friend or student. I've had the pleasure of witnessing Megan interact with (and walk!) animals from every strata, from bees to dogs to snakes, and could not recommend a more empassioned set of eyes and ears to hold a leash.

Information Megan K. would like to know about your pet
I am more than happy to spend time with dogs of all sorts, although it is important for me to know your pup's temperament and any special needs they may have. This especially includes letting me know how they tend to act around strangers and other dogs, so I can ensure their time with me is as safe and enjoyable for them as possible! (My family's dog is very skiddish and sometimes defensive around strange dogs because of trauma as a puppy, so I have experience with these be behaviors and am very comfortable with them as long as I know ahead of time)
A typical day
We can walk around the neighborhood, throw the ball at the dog park, curl up on the couch... any activity that is suited to your dog's needs and energy level!
