Highlights
Pet care experience
Stay at home Dog Mom ✨
I have owned cats and dogs since I was a kid! I grew up on a farm and have loved every animal I’ve encountered. My animals are my family. I have experience in training, grooming, and spoiling every animal with love. After all, they only know us they’re entire life. I have two dogs so how does pet care fit into my daily routine? It is my daily routine! Dogs usually wake me up around 5:30 to go outside so we get up, first feeding of the day right after that. My dogs usually let me know when they need to go outside by ringing the jingle bells on our door. They spend a lot of time in our big backyard while I’m gardening or doing yard work. We like to play fetch and go on walks often. Nail trims take place every now and again when needed, as do baths. After a long day for me (naps for them and barking at squirrels) we cuddle up in bed for the night. We have a big fenced in backyard (an acre to be exact)! Can easily follow any crate or potty schedule as needed. Anything your animals need we can provide :) I am mainly stay at home 24/7 however sometimes I run errands and just need to get out of the house!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Megan was absolutely incredible!! She accepted our request to watch Maverick last minute & was very accommodating. He loved running around her big yard & hanging out with her dogs. She sent lots of photo updates. Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety but he was perfectly great & happy with her. If you need someone in the Des Moines area, 10/10 couldn’t recommend enough!!✨
Megan did an amazing job with our 2 year old Golden! We were very worried about leaving him but our nerves were put to ease quickly when he settled in when we dropped him off. The frequent pics and updates were very appreciated as well! We would definitely have Megan watch him again!
Megan was amazing!! Gave updates and treated my pups like her own. 100% going back to her.
Megan is the best! I literally almost stayed home from vacation until I saw how relaxed Luna was with her. She put my anxiety at ease. Our doggo was with her for 9 days. We got photo and video updates along the way. We will 100% rebook with her the next time we need it. I am already planning to schedule my next vacation around Megan's availability!
Megan was great! She has the best set up for dog sitting and was great with my pups! Will definitely be using her again when we need someone in town.
What a great person to have as Luna’s care provider. Accommodating and ready to pivot at a moments notice. Big backyard for Luna to run around in and a big bed for her to stretch out on.

Schedule
Pet care is my daily routine! My dogs schedules are pretty relaxed. Dogs wake me up early around 5-5:30 and we go outside, come in and eat. They let me know when they need to go outside but typically I am in my garden most of the time so the door is open for them to come and go as they please.

Safety, trust & environment
I always keep a close eye on all dogs when they are here. I follow whatever schedule is given me for other dogs so they are not thrown off. We have plenty of rooms in the house if they need to be fed alone. I love being able to create a safe space for the dogs to take a little vacation!

A typical day
We love to play fetch and run around in our backyard! We will gladly take your pups on walks if they enjoy them. We have toys and lick mats for mental stimulation as well!
