Reviews
Megan was wonderful with our dog and cat! We will definitely have her again! Thank you Megan!
Megan was excellent and took great care of my dogs and even my fish. We had some last minute skin issues with one of my dogs and she was great handling that for our poor pup. She's a great communicator and made it easy to set her up in our home to be most effective, plus she respected our space honestly much more than we do. Cannot recommend highly enough!
We have 3 pups, all very unique with two greyhounds and a one from Armenia. With one greyhound being a new rescue we were nervous about trusting another person to care for him while he’s going through rehabilitation and comes with many “instructions” to ensure his safety let alone the safety of the others. After reaching out to Megan based on her already extensive experience, she expressed her interest in learning the breeds and their individual needs. She came to visit prior to sitting for us twice during the week of thanksgiving to make sure we were all comfortable as we’ve never used a sitter. Being a hover mom I certainly had many dos and don't and Megan accommodated all of them while staying in constant communication to ease our minds. We are so relieved to know we have someone so reliable and in touch with our pups.. they absolutely loved her immediately. We are already looking forward to a weekend away knowing our 3 dogs will be in good hands with Megan.
Megan was amazing and so sweet. She was so great with our pups and took the time to send us pictures and updates. Everything at our house was tidy and our pups were so happy! I’d love to use Megan again in the future.

I have a fenced in backyard and will not let the dogs outside alone. My two dogs are very friendly to other dogs and will be happy to play with your pup! I have experience medicating pets and know what to look for in case of health emergencies, as my own cat has chronic health conditions.
