Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pets' New Best Friend
I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Megan is an extraordinary pet caregiver. My husband and I have used her for several years sometimes for weeks at a time and, without fail, she has cared lovingly and competently for our two dogs, one elderly and the other needy. A few specifics to illustrate Megan's outstanding services: 1) Takes the initiative by adjusting our dogs' walking schedules as necessary to cooler periods of the day and gives them baths to soothe itching. 2) Our neighbors have observed how well Megan cares for our dogs in our absences. 3) She is excellent at trying different methods to calm dogs during thunderstorms and fireworks. 4) Great at giving updates with photos and texts of dogs while we're on travel. 5) Plays and engages with the dogs using stuffed animal and brain teasing toys. Megan is completely trustworthy with our dogs AND home. Home left immaculate even though we never asked her to keep it clean and tidy. In summary, Megan is the best! She is poised, friendly, competent, a lover of dogs and a friend to the owners. We recommend her highly with no reservations.
I’ve known Megan for 17 years. She would occasionally watch my 2 dogs who absolutely adored Megan. Patient, kind, compassionate, loving and made sure my boys had the best time!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
