Pet care experience
Experienced Reactive Dog Carer
I've always been around dogs, ever since I was young and my family used to foster them for the cinnamon trust. In 2021 we adopted a Romanian rescue called Barney, and his behavioural quirks have lead me to specialise in reactive and anxious dogs. I have lots of experience with reactive, anxious and aggressive dogs, whether it's just leash frustration, fear or genuine aggression. I have several different approaches I will take to gain your dog’s trust, and will do my best to help you with any issues you’re facing. I will always take things at the dog’s pace, to make sure they’re fully comfortable with me. I also have plenty of experience managing a large dog who lunges at others, and my partner is also fully insured and first aid trained, if you would like him to accompany me on walks for larger breeds. I understand the stress of finding a dog walker who can handle a reactive or aggressive dog, and know how worrying it can be trusting your dog to someone new. I will do everything I can to ensure both you and your pup are fully comfortable with me. IMPORTANT NOTE: my housesitting rate is based on an overnight stay from 8pm-8am, with a 1 hour drop in in the middle of the day. I offer constant care at a varied rate, which is tailored to the needs of each dog. Alternatively you can book extra drop ins/walks separately.

Safety, trust & environment
I adore playing with dogs! I spend a lot of time making enrichment toys for Barney, and teaching him silly little tricks, so your dog will never get bored! I’m happy to take dogs on walks, prepare licky mats for them or hide treats around the house for some ‘sniff and seek’. On a walk, I will usually avoid other dogs. This includes crossing roads, turning back on myself or rerouting as necessary. I have no issues dealing with any kind of reaction your dog may have, and after 4 years of having a reactive dog, I’m a pro at spotting dogs coming our way from a mile away!
Ratings and reviews
Megan was fantastic, very punctual and thorough She kept us updated on how our fur babies were doing throughout whilst we were away travelling with plenty of pictures and notes on the rover cards. Highly recommended, will book again. 😁
As always, Megan provides a reliable and caring service. My dog loves her walks.
Megan looked after my cat while I was away for a week. Absolutely cannot fault the service at all. I knew my girl was in good hands from the initial meet and greet. I was kept informed daily and sent photos and updates. Megan even went above and beyond when my girl had an upset tummy. Plenty of fusses and all her needs taken care of. Nothing was too much trouble. I'd 100% use Megan again in the future.
What a truly amazing service Megan offers! We were so nervous to hand our new puppy into the care of someone else but it’s the best decision we’ve made Megan took the time to get to know us as a family and to get to know our puppy prior to starting which made us feel at ease From the amazing care offered to the detailed updates after each visit; we are over the moon! our little Mabel is being taught new skills daily and is so happy This service is highly recommended!
Athena normally struggles with new people but took to Megan immediately, thank you for all the updates and photos it put our minds at ease knowing she was having such a lovely time.
This was the third time that I have booked Megan. She is reliable, experienced and conscientious. I have total confidence when my dog is in her care. Thank you!

Schedule
This is my full time business at the moment, and I’m starting training to become a dog behaviourist. We’ve just moved up to the South Yorkshire area, after spending the last year and a half travelling around Europe and Asia. I’m super flexible on times, and can work around most peoples schedules.
