Pet sitting, dog walking

Pet care experience

I provide pet-sitting in your own home, and can also do dog walking or taking them on a run. Pet-sitting can include bathing and light grooming. I am comfortable with all ages and breeds of dogs, and have experience with a full range of each. I am experienced with animal training and enforcing good behavior on walks. I am a college junior, who is active and loves being outside. I go to school at The University of Alabama full time, so my hours of availability can change depending on my school schedule. However, despite the many roles I fill, I find myself with plenty of free time, and want to be able to help out and find more fur babies to play with! I love going and taking my dog out every day and ensuring she gets all the proper care for her breed and energy level. I’m very adaptable and know breed specifics and how to deal with them. I’ve worked a lot with dog aggression, separation anxiety, leash pulling, responsiveness, abusive reactivity, etc. I really enjoy being able to help curb some of these negative behaviors and experiences in my own dogs and finding good ways to help them feel safe and comfortable around me. My entire life I have been surrounded by many types of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, lizards, fish, rabbits, and horses), so I have had lots of experience with dealing with many types of situations regarding them. I personally was enrolled in 4-H for breeding and showing rabbits for almost 10 years, and was also the neighborhood pet-sitter. I have a passion for animals, and try to do the very best for them. All 3 of my current pets now are rescued, and I do everything to make their lives the best possible. I bring this same mentality and energy with the animals I watch, as I treat them the same as my own. I want to make sure that everyone is comfortable with me in their homes and/or with their pets, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!

We love Megan! She provides amazing detail in her updates and lots of pictures, which gives us great peace of mind. She takes great care of our fur babies and we will definitely be using her services in the future. Highly recommended!

I can always leave my girls with Megan with confidence that they are in the hands of a caring professional, and I always get plenty of pics, which helps me worry less when I’m away!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently don’t offer in-house boarding at this time, but I often do house visits and dog walking. I have lots of experience and devote a lot of time ensuring that each person I work with is comfortable and feels safe with me in their home and/or with their pets. I have a set system that also ensures the safety of information such as addresses, keys, etc. so that it will never become a concern. I also take LOTS of photos and videos each time I visit, so that each client I work with can guarantee I do everything correctly and am being as safe as I can with their fur-babies:)

Information Megan P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know behavior tendencies, negative or positive. I’m very adaptable and can work with many kinds of dogs. If I know the dog is high energy, I will make sure they go on a long walk with lots of space, or if I know they tend to be dog aggressive I will go to a more secluded area to avoid conflict. Knowing their favorite things to do, and what kind of activities suit that dog best is very helpful and fun information to look into

A typical day

I personally enjoy going on many walks with my own dog and the dogs I tend to daily. I am very cautious on my walks, making sure to be aware of traffic, temperature, weather, and the dog themselves. On house visits, I am very good at leaving everything as it is and creating a safe environment for me and the pets. With each animal, I also spend lots of time giving them attention! I know it’s hard not being home with your pets, so I do my best to help fill that role. I often will play with toys, cuddle on the couch, or go on runs (depending on the temperament of each pet).
