Pet care experience
Hello! My name’s Megan and I would be thrilled to help out and care for your fur baby. I took a break from Rover for a while to care for sweet cat Thomas who tragically passed away last month from heart failure. I know first-hand how important it is to trust that your fur baby will be safe and happy while you are away. I grew up with dogs in my house and started dog sitting for neighbors in seventh grade. I recently spent some time in Costa Rica where I lived in a house with 6 rescue dogs! They were all such sweeties and it was a blast to hang out with them. I can’t wait to spend some time with your fur baby and give them the love and attention they deserve in your absence. My #1 priority is their safety and comfort. I am very detail-oriented and will make sure your baby is taken care of in every way. Every pet is different and needs their own individualized care. I’m here for whatever — whether that’s big running workouts together or cuddling up on the couch (or some of the trickier stuff like special food/meds/whatever!) I hope I get the chance to meet your sweet pup or kitty soon!
Reviews
Megan is amazing!! My dog Lola felt right at home when we got to her place. Megan sent updates and pictures several times a day and Lola looked so happy in all of them! It made my trip so much more enjoyable knowing that Lola was in great hands. Definitely recommend Megan to anyone, she’s absolutely the best! :)
Let me preface this by admitting that I’m conflicted about giving Megan the glowing review that she deserves because I selfishly don’t want everyone else to learn about how wonderful she is and snatch her up. I fall into the “neurotic” category of pet owners because I really do obsess over my fur children. I’ve always been hesitant to use Rover because I’ve just heard some negative things about some of the providers on here. Luckily, my experience was nothing but 100% positive, as Megan has really stolen our hearts! I’m a NYU Law student who has worked in various law firms so I have a strong conception of what qualifies as professionalism and excellent communication—Megan is indeed skilled in both of these areas. Throughout her time of looking after my Doberman and my cat, she sent me regular updates, followed my instructions exactly, and made sure to ask questions whenever she was unsure (as opposed to making any assumptions). She is reliable, responsive, and proactive. It is also very clear to me that this isn’t simply a job for Megan—she sincerely adores animals. She wants them to have fun and feel as comfortable as possible. I was able to rest easy knowing that my animals were in her care because she treated them as though they were her own. I think the real testament to my confidence in Megan is that I have already begun referring her to my friends and I plan to exclusively reach out to her whenever I need a sitter in the future. I only want the best for my kiddos, so that’s why we turn to Megan!
Megan was the greatest!!! She took such good care of our two pups. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Because we’d had a good meet and greet with Megan earlier in the week, my dog jumped out of the car and ran to her door on drop-off day. Louie had a fabulous weekend with Megan, and I appreciated the photos and updates she sent. She was gracious when I asked to extend an extra night, too. Megan’s warmth and calm put this anxious pup and his mama at ease!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When staying with pets, I like to carve out both windows for totally focused playtime/attention, and for windows where I can work/prep their food/check in with you while making sure they are comfortable and safe. I always make sure to get in lots of play time!

Information Megan R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how I can make your dog safest, most comfortable, and most healthy. Whether that’s something big like a medication (I’m used to giving a dog Prozac covered in cream cheese and getting my cat to take 4 meds daily, ear drops, gum medication, etc) or seemingly littler things like not petting them over the head, I can do what you need me to.
