Hey there! My name is Megan. Finding a trustworthy and affordable sitter who can provide your dog with the exercise, affection, and care they need while you’re away can be an overwhelming decision, so I’m here to provide the peace of mind that your dog will receive most personalized care while you’re away! Each dog has their own quirks, personality, likes, dislikes, and needs, and I do everything I can to be mindful and respectful of these. My visits are tailored to your dogs needs, but some examples of what a day might look like includes exercise and walks or jogs, play time, simple training commands, treats, belly rubs, and snuggles so your pup will never be bored or lonely. I do everything in my power to ease your anxiety, and your pet’s anxiety about being apart. DOG TRAINING AND SKILLS: -Exercise and activity for high energy breeds. -Potty training and crate training. -Experience and knowledge of specific breeds. -Experience with reactive dogs. -Oral medication administration. -Puppy and Senior Dog Experience. -Light grooming skills. -Coping methods for dogs with PTSD and anxiety. -Caring for multiple dogs and cats in one household. MY STORY: I’m an experienced dog walker and overnight sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your dogs and cats. I began dog walking and pet sitting when I was 10, retaining many repeat clients and “adopted” many honorary pet siblings along the way. Additionally I began volunteering at my local ASPCA rescue, and learned invaluable lessons there. In college, I spent time working with the 4 Paws for Ability Organization; fostering puppies who were training to be Support Animals. This included full time care, and light training, in order to prepare them for their very important futures! I also spent a year after college working at a boarding stable for show horses, where I cared for and cleaned the stalls of over 30 horses daily. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on adventures, hikes, and dog park dates, so your pup will never get bored. I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs of all temperaments, so nervous or shy rescue dogs are no problem. I’ve also worked at a holistic veterinarian office, so have experience with holistic medicine, calming techniques, physical therapy, injury rehabilitation, feeding, and administering medication. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. I’ve cared for pets who are elderly or sick, reactive dogs and those who struggle with PTSD and severe anxiety, and pets with very specific routines; so integrating any specific request into a visit is no problem and your instructions will be followed with the utmost care. Dogs are family to me, so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets.
