Safety, trust & environment

Depending on your specific needs, we can ensure your pet is given the same type of care as when he/she is with you. If it’s walking for a specific amount of time, type of play you want encouraged, treats, cuddles, resting time, etc - we can definitely work out a care plan that you approve of. Everyone cares for their pets differently and I want your experience to be unique and personal to your family. I do live in a condo, so if your fur baby needs overnight care, with your permission, I would bring them to my dad’s house (where I would be staying) in Oak Lawn (1.5 miles from me). His house is bigger than my condo and has a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard that would be perfect for exercise and playtime. He is also an avid dog lover - no dogs currently in the home. Our beloved Shakespeare recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we’d love the opportunity to care for your pet. There would be no lack of attention and love. If you would like to chat with him or see the home your fur baby would be sleeping at, that can be arranged. If you need in home services, I’d love to chat about your pets routine.

Information Megan K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your love bug has any allergies or special needs. I’d like to bring treats to get on your pup’s good side! Please let me know what they can have. I’d love to chat about their personality and little quirks. I have experience giving medication if need be.

A typical day

The day would be filled with the specific type of activity they need. High energy dogs = long walks; Senior dogs = a few short walks. Check out a nearby park and take time for your love bug to enjoy all the different smells and visit a fire hydrant. Fetch would be on deck for pups that love that game. We’d definitely make time for some of their favorite toys and games. With permission, maybe a dog park? Let’s chat!

Your pet’s happiness is my pleasure

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 (small and large). They bring me immense joy and happiness. I have extensive experience with giant breeds. I raised my Bull Mastiff, Barnaby, from a pup and rescued an English Mastiff named Shakespeare (200 lbs of pure love). I am diligent and reliable. I know what to look for as far as health and emergencies. Barnaby was plagued with severe allergies so I know all the tips and tricks to make them feel better. I am cautious, careful, and compassionate. Your fur baby will receive lots of love and attention.

Megan, my daughter, has loving experience when it comes to taking care of animals. During Megan's lifetime, Megan has taken care of 4 dogs and currently has two cats. As Megan's father I got to witness first hand the living experience Megan provided to my 200lb. English Mastiff. Megan also taught me how to administer oral medication and apply both topical creams and ointment. Megan rescued her two cats when they were small and sickly but was able to nurse them back to health. Now the two cats are happy and healthy and have a place to call home. There's nothing Megan will not do for your pets. I know this because I have trusted and witnessed Megan for years with my English Mastiff. Megan will provide all the love and attention your pets deserve.

Megan has always had an extraordinary affinity for animals, particularly dogs and cats, which is evident in the way she cares for her pets with such dedication and love. Her previous dog, Barnaby, was a testament to her nurturing spirit. Under her care, Barnaby thrived and became a beloved member of the family, showcasing Megan's ability to provide a stable and loving environment. Currently, her two cats, Salem and Midnight, enjoy a life of comfort and affection, further proving her consistent responsibility as a pet caregiver. Megan's deep understanding of her pets' needs, combined with her compassionate approach, makes her an ideal candidate for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving individual to look after their furry friends. Her natural rapport with animals and her commitment to their well-being is truly commendable.

Megan has extensive experience when it comes to taking care of animals. Throughout Megan’s life, she’s had and taken care of 4 dogs and currently has 2 cats. Megan loves all breeds, sizes, & ages when it comes to our furry friends! She has looked after a 5 lb. Shih-Pom puppy one day to then spending all day and night with a 200 lb. senior English Mastiff. Megan also has experience with giving oral medications, applying topical creams/ointments, & looking after your dog’s infected ear. When it comes to cats, Megan has 2 of her own, bonded sisters from the same litter. She rescued them when they were small and sickly, but she was able to nurse them back to health. Now, the 2 sisters are happy & healthy, and have a place to call home. Also, if your cat is in heat, Megan knows how to keep them calm and relaxed. There’s nothing Megan won’t do for your best guy or gal! I know this because I have trusted Megan for years with my own furbaby. Megan will give your pride & joy all the love and attention they deserve.

Meg has loved all animals since she was a little girl. She is an amazing pet mom, keeping them safe and giving them unconditional love (plenty of petting & caressing). There is nothing she wouldn't do for any animal in her care. She would care and be responsible for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend Meg as a pet caregiver.
