Pet care experience
~ Megan (& Steve) ~ Hello! I grew up with 2 Lhasa Apso's and up-sized to Labrador named Sullivan when I was in my early 20's. Due to some long term work that took me overseas, I lost 'custody' of Sullivan to my parents- who he admittedly loved more ;). Upon my return I spent a few years dog sitting and walking/ running while I completed grad school in LA. I eventually rescued, Jasmine the Labrador, who was 'free to a good home' on Craigslist. She was my bestie and sadly passed away in Nov at the age of 15. I'm in need of furry friend companionship! I live with my boyfriend- a dog lover, as well- on the Emeryville/ Oakland border. Jasmine and I took walks around the neighborhood so often that the local UPS man finally stopped and asked me what my deal was. :) (embarrassing) I work from home and take breaks or work related phone calls while walking. So there is no shortage of exercise! Additionally, we have a securely fenced in yard that's big enough for some ball playing or sun bathing. If your dog is up for it, I'm also happy to jog them. Our house is equipped with multiple dog beds and your furry friend is welcome on our furniture if it's okay with you.
Reviews
Megan is one of the best dog moms that I've ever known. She loves dogs so much, barely able to walk past any random pup on the street. Until her beloved Jasmine passed away, she always made sure Jasmine had enough exercise, a quality diet, medical care, and space to roam. We always complimented Megan on how eventhough Jasmine was in her teens, she still looked so young owing to the great care she received. Megan is reliable and responsive and treats other dogs in her care as if they were her own!

Information Megan O. would like to know about your pet
The living space in our house is entirely on the second floor. There is no getting inside our outside without traversing stairs. I'm happy to assist your dog in and out (as I eventually needed to do for Jasmine) but if this is an absolute problem, we might not be the right fit. Jasmine was as sweet as can be with humans but sadly despised other living creatures. I would really love to know if I can anticipate a dog brawl on walks with your dog. I'm completely equipped for handling these types of situations, but best to not be surprised. I know how dogs can be creatures of habit and each with their own personalities and insecurities...what can I do to make your dog feel the most comfortable and secure in your absence? Are there certain triggers of anxiety? (the vacuum? thunder? fireworks?...)
