I work from home so I'm able to provide TLC 24/7. We go outside every 2-4 hours to potty and play in my fenced in backyard and take morning and evening walks.

Safety, trust & environment
I think I was born a crazy dog lady 😜 I had multiple dogs that lived long healthy lives as a child but I was blessed with my own dog at 21. He got the best of the best care and that's what I'll provide for your dog(s) as well. I know how to administer oral and injection medication, cpr, and dog first aid. Walk down the first aid isle at a pet store and I basically have it all. I would prefer to see the owner administer the medication once before so I could study their technique to best mimic it to keep the dog at ease. If your dog likes to play with toys, I make sure they're the right size so there aren't any choking hazards. If they're tough on toys, I have those for them as well. I don't take my eyes off of them when they're playing. I have a large fenced in backyard that's sprayed for critters every spring and fall. Plenty of space for zoomies or laying in the sun. I am always outside with the dogs so they will be fully supervised.

Information Megan M. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed restrictions because I don't believe in aggressive breeds. Size also doesn't matter to me. I would like to know the dog's routine. I want to keep the dog(s) schedule as close as possible to not upset them and to keep being in a new place as least stressful as possible.
A typical day
In this house we're all about the dogs! I have tons of toys, make homemade treats (I'll check with you first for allergies), hours of fetch, puzzles, sniff mats, lick mats, and Dog TV. We take walks around the neighborhood, hike metro park trails, visit the Scioto Audubon dog park, and relax at Schiller dog park. I'll even take them for a small ice cream or pup cup if you'd like :) Basically, I'll treat your dog as if they're my own and I treated my dog like he was my child so they will be in the best hands with me.

A loving home while you're away
Pet care experience
If I had to go away for an evening or on vacation for a couple weeks, I'd want a safe and loving home such as mine for my dog to relax in.*I board up to 4 dogs a night* so my home is ideal for dogs that like to make new friends! That said, I am very diligent about recognizing body language that indicates your pet wants space and would like a break. My office is set up to allow a pup to retreat and relax with a orthopedic dog bed, blankets, fan, and sound machine. I take each dogs personality and history into account when booking. I offer a home away from home with loving arms perfect for cuddling and lots of playtime. Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover my entire life. My parents breed our family Labrador Retrievers for a few years and I always had the job of helping feed the puppies. I had a close bond with my Lab, Cody, for all 16 years of his life as well. I started volunteering with rescues in college and was blessed with my great pyrenees when I was 21. He had a life full of love. He was diagnosed with oral cancer in autumn 2021. I stayed home with him to provide 24/7 care and no penny was spared. He was my baby and will forever be missed. I'm not ready to welcome another dog into my heart full time since Opey was my everything but caring for other's dogs had helped me heal that special place in my heart that's just for dogs. *In lieu of the mystery respiratory illness going around, if your dog has persistent sneezing, coughing, lethargic, or has new eye discharge or runny nose, please cancel your reservation. Fees and fines will be waved as long as I have 24 hour notice. If your dog has been sick, please do not make a reservation unless it's been 2 weeks since their last symptom. Sneezing and eye discharge from spring allergies is okay 👍
Reviews
Megan takes such great care of our people-shy pup. Our dog gets so excited when she knows she is going to go visit Megan. Thanks for a great experience - always - Megan!
Megan always takes such care of our nervous pup, whether for daycare or an extended stay. She gets so excited when she realizes we’re on our way to Megan’s house. We know she has a great time ☺️
Megan always takes such good care of our pup! She updates us regularly and he always seems to be having a great time!
Charley has so much fun at Megan’s! We love all the sweet pictures we get and he always comes home worn out from all the playtime. Can’t recommend higher!
