Genuine Love and Care For Your Pets

Pet care experience

My 25 dollar walking/drop-in fee, automatically includes an hour of total walking/care instead of just 30 minutes. For house sitting, I can provide 0-2 hour potty breaks if needed while I’m there. I may leave for a couple to a few hours periodically during the house sitting stay, depending on the care your pet(s) require. We can discuss this in more detail during our meet and greet. Here is my $20 off Rover promo code for first time Rover users: MEGANK51101 I worked in the Dog Day Care and Boarding business for a year and seven months providing loving care for dogs of all ages and sizes, and a few cats. My duties included watching dogs in the yard as they play, feeding, bathing, cleaning kennels, providing fresh water, laying down bedding, making sure dogs got out within a decent time frame, running dogs to their owners, washing and cleaning bedding, picking up poop, cleaning up messes, basic medical care, medicine administration, made sure they had what they needed, lots of love, reading to them, preventing possible dog fights as well as separating dog fights, reading body language, etc. Prior to working in the kennel business, I helped take care of dogs for friends and family as well as my own. This included walking, feeding, basic medical care, and lots of love and attention.

Megan was such a doll and a new friend for my Coco. Taking care of a new puppy requires patience and grace and Megan has both in huge supply.

Megan was very caring for our two cats. She communicated frequently and sent fotos often. Our girls felt safe and secure with her I highly recommend Megan.

Megan was so helpful for me when I need a dog sitter for the day. She sent me a ton of pictures, and updated me the entire time. She listened to what needs I felt I needed for my dog, and even read to him! She also went into my backyard and picked up all his poop from months ago, along with some toys that were very old - She literally went above and beyond. You can tell she has a true love for animals, and I think that is why her and I got along so well :) Thanks Megan for everything, and I will be rebooking again soon!

I will be caring for your pet(s) in your home for boarding, and walking your dog(s) in your neighborhood making sure they are getting the proper love and care that they need. This includes if they need to be fed(ALWAYS with proper before and after resting time), given medication, brushed, and cleaning and refreshing water/food bowls, etc. I absolutely enjoy being around animals. Also, I do not smoke or use any tobacco products, so you will not have to worry about me having any of these on your property or around your pet(s).

Information Megan K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog needs and if they require special care. If they have any type of aggression(food, fence, toy or human possessiveness, other pets, humans, leash, etc.) anxiety, health problems(seizures, blindness, deafness, heart conditions, etc.), triggers(loud noises, thunderstorms, sudden movements, etc.), specific need to know behaviors(chasing cars, chewing shoes and other non toy items, climber, fence jumper, escape risk, etc.), if they take medications and what they are for, known ALLERGIES, feeding instructions, require special care(For example: wiping to prevent UTIs, help walking, teeth brushed, more frequent bathroom breaks, need to be crated at any given time, etc.), if your dog has ever had bloat before and requires more resting time after meals, etc. !IMPORTANT!: Depending on size, age, and previous bloat experience please allow at least 30 minutes to an hour of resting time after meals before your scheduled walk to best avoid possible bloat that would result in severe discomfort and emergency surgery. Also waiting at least 30 minutes to feed your dog a meal after a walk or vigorous exercise is ideal for helping prevent bloating issues. A forewarning if you often have bears visit your neighborhood is also appreciated to help with awareness. Thank you so much for your cooperation! I look forward to working with you and your fur baby/babies.

A typical day

1. Walks at least 2 or 3 times a day while making sure they also have proper resting time before and after meals to prevent conditions such as bloat. Wiping their feet as needed after returning from a walk. 2. Reading out loud to them. 3. Proper feeding and treats. 4. Playing games like fetch and Tug O’ War. 5. Lots of belly rubs and pats. 6. Brushing as needed or wanted. 7. Summer pool time. Provided that you have a small plastic pool I can fill up for them with a garden hose. For drop in visits and house sitting: If your dog needs a bath, I can give them one at your house with your provided shampoo and a tub.

Availability

This is what I will be doing for a living. So I have a lot of availability to care for your pets. I look forward to working with them. I am in school part time. I am currently taking a Biology-111 college course that is fully online. If I’m housesitting, I will need access to WI-FI for school, and I will still be able to provide plenty of love and care for your fur kid(s). Thank you!😊 I also successfully completed a 6-week Continuing Education: Veterinary Assistant 111 Practical Skills course, that started in January 2024 and ended in March 2024. I have a photo of my certificate of the course completion included in the photo section of my Rover account. It is NOT a degree or the same as a Vet-Tech Assistant. It’s a Continuing Education course I took to help give me more general knowledge so that I can provide the best care for dogs and cats both at work(Rover) and at home.
