Loving & 'Paw'sitive Environment

Pet care experience

I had the honour of being a dog mom to my beloved dog Henry for seven wonderful years. Although Henry required extra attention due to physical and mental health concerns, by diligently attending to his needs, understanding his cues, and employing positive reinforcement, Henry blossomed into a confident, affectionate, and loyal companion. My experience with Henry has given me a deep understanding of how to approach dogs with care, recognizing that it's a privilege, not a right. I acknowledge that each dog is unique, with varying needs. While I'm not quite ready for another furry friend, I would be overjoyed at the opportunity to share the abundant love I have for animals with your special family member and make them feel as special as they deserve. Building trust is crucial in this relationship, and my goal is to establish a bond of trust with both you and your cherished furry family member. I aspire to cultivate a lasting and positive pet care connection into the future.

Megan is one of the most enthusiastic, trustworthy and caring people I know, and she loves dogs with her entire being! I’ve also worked with Megan in the past and can attest than anything she sets out to do she completes and does extremely well. She is a ray of sunshine in life and will be fully attentive, loving and respectful with your beloved pet.

Megan is one of the most kind and caring people I've had the pleasure of knowing. As a previous dog mom herself, I've seen her interact with dogs first-hand and her love for them is evident. Her warm and gentle nature should make any pet parent feel at ease. I would highly recommend Megan and can say with the upmost confidence your pets would be in safe and reliable hands, and would be so well cared for and loved.

Megan M has a deep love and appreciation for any and all dogs that come into her life. She brings a genuine mix of care for the animals and understanding of them that give animals a sense of security unlike I've seen in any other person. As well as demonstrating a long standing love for her own dog, she also often cares for my own two dogs. One of my dogs, Rosemary, is extremely wary of newcomers because she is a rescue and has some mild behavioral quirks. She generally takes many weeks, if not months, to become accustomed to new people, and sometimes even longer for her to show any affection to them. On the second meeting that Meg had with Rosemary, Rosemary let Meg pet her and even gave her a little smooch. I was floored that my rescue was able to feel so comfortable around her so soon, but I learned that this is not an isolated incident, and dogs do generally feel quite reassured by her presence. If I was thinking of someone to look after my dogs (who honestly both need a decent amount of care and have some specific routines that need to be followed) I would think of no one else but Meg. Her understanding of dogs, trustworthiness and maturity, as well as her brilliant personality is clearly understood by humans and animals alike. I think that dogs can sense that she absolutely loves them and returns the feelings onto her. She can look after my pets any day no questions asked.

Megan is an outstanding pet caregiver and phenomenal person! She’s responsible and loving and will look after your furry friend just as you would. She has a natural way with animals and dogs just gravitate towards her. Whether you have an outgoing or shy/nervous dog she knows how to be around them and will of course have no problem following your specific caregiving directions. She’s very communicative and I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending her to anyone looking for a dog sitter! My only reservation is that she would have less availability for me and my beloved dog ;) but she’s too good not to share!

Safety, trust & environment

My home: establish clear communication with the owner beforehand to understand the pet's routine and preferences. Create a safe and comfortable space, maintaining regular feeding and exercise schedules to provide continuity. I live in an apartment but I am very active and would be able to take your dog for many walks and for outdoor activities. I have a car and would be able to go for hikes, to Point Pleasant Park, etc. Your home: open communication with the owner is essential. Learn about the dog's routine, preferences, and any specific instructions. Familiarize yourself with the home layout and adhere to house rules. Both: Maintain the dog's routine, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and monitored for health and behaviour. Regularly update the owner on the dog's well-being, and have emergency contacts readily available for preparedness. Offer affection and companionship to the dog, respecting its emotional needs ensuring a responsible and positive dog-sitting experience.

Information Megan M. would like to know about your pet

Prior to dog sitting, I would like to know key details about the dog, such as temperament, health, and daily routine. This includes understanding their personality, energy levels, and any specific needs. Information on medical conditions, dietary restrictions, and training levels helps in providing appropriate attention. Familiarity with their history with other animals or people helps to manage interactions.

A typical day

As a dog sitter, my approach involves a mix of enjoyable and stimulating activities to guarantee a positive experience for the dogs in my care. This includes daily walks, engaging play sessions with a variety of toys, and the possibility of organized playdates for those who enjoy socializing. Incorporating treats and puzzle toys not only adds mental stimulation but also keeps the dogs entertained. Affectionate moments like cuddle sessions and belly rubs cannot be forgotten!
