Experienced city dog walker.

Pet care experience

I have a love of animals that has become apart of me as I grew up on a farm. My favourite activity is to take the dogs to the park and play fetch. Responsible, dedicated, caring and a true animal lover. I spent 13 years riding and caring for horses, including routine and specialty care for injured or sick horses. I have spent many years at horse camps, which have allowed me to swim with horses and compete in shows. I still have a huge passion for horses however I am in the city perusing a university degree in psychology. I have plenty of experience dog sitting for up to two weeks st a time, which included feeding, walking, grooming, playing, some training, and cuddling. My degree in psychology has allowed me to understand the ins and outs of classical conditioning, therefore making training less difficult for me to hone in on as a skill. I'm currently working part time and finishing my psychology degree. I prefer mornings, afternoons and early evenings I always make sure to go over the pets routine and over any specific care requirements and the best way to interact with them. I have navigated with scared, and aggressive dogs and gained their comfort and trust. I have level 1&2 pet first aid by the Ottawa Humane Society.

Megan was great to work with and flexible with her approach. She was willing to keep working with my dog to ensure she was comfortable.

Megan really impressed me the level of professionalism she demonstrated towards the care of pets. She’s very respectful of both the pets and the owners and takes the time to know both of them before accepting to take on a client. I felt I could trust her when we had the meet & greet and Willow was in great care with her. I got some updates during the day and had a happy dog when I got back. I recommend her to everyone. Thank you Megan!

Megan was amazing with our doberman and cat for in home pet sitting. My dog is hesitant when people care for her as she has some separation anxiety, but she was very comfortable with Megan on our meet and greet was I was able to travel without worrying about my pets, they were well taken care of. My dog also gets medication multiple times a day and this was not an issue. I highly recommend Megan for pet sitting.

Megan was terrific. When I got home she had her bedding and towels already in wash machine. She sent me a couple messages so I knew all was well. She was very affectionate with Rita to put her at ease. Would book Megan next time we need a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to know where all of the supplies are for the dog, to be aware of any bad habits or potential accidents that could happen and how to fix the accidents. I always inform the owner how the day has gone.

Information Megan K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general temperament, any health issues, and behaviours that the owner is or isn’t trying to enforce. I also make sure that the owners know that it's very much their dog, I will look after them how the owner wants regardless of what I think because it's not my animal.

A typical day

I really like to walk around suburban areas, and to pet friendly parks. I am a firm believer in always leashing your pets but given the opportunity (having a park to myself) and the right pet with good recall training, I like to play fetch and practice training.
