Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and energetic sitter.
Hello! My name is Megan and I adore animals! I started dog sitting and walking when I was about 12. I cared for neighbors', friends, and family's pets of all types. Now, into my 30's, I am investing in dog behavioral education to better care for your canine family members! Drop-ins: Care includes feeding, play time, potty breaks, giving them oral medications, grooming/bathing (add-on), and generally keeping them company while you're away! Walks: Besides the walking part, I can also do some walk training for a more pleasant experience for both the walker and the pup. Additionally, I can do things like bring in any packages from the porch and refill water bowls. I carry training treats, but if you have a preference that you provide, I am happy to use those instead. I have two guinea pigs (both boys) at home, myself! They are my good, good boys, but they won't be TOO jealous that I share my time with other fuzzy critters! Home-based freelance art can get lonely and sedentary, so being able to get out and interact is both good for me and your beloved pet(s)! At home I need to be sure I know where everything your dog needs is located - food, treats, bedding, scoopers, leash, toys, carriers, medications, etc. Phone numbers for e-vets and/or trusted people in case there is an emergency are also important. I do not do walks after dark. I keep weekends blocked for work traveling. During the week, I will do walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I only care for dogs at the client's home. I am able to transport dogs with my vehicle, which is a 4 door sedan. If your dog has triggers (leash anxiety/aggression, special requirements, etc), you must be sure to share them with me. Meet and Greets are a must! Please be sure you have time to schedule a M&G before the booking date so we can be sure we are all a good fit!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always take some time to greet your pup(s) before a walk starts and say goodbye when the work is done. This is a great chance for me to take some cute photos since taking pictures during a walk can be tricky. I stay in the main areas of the house (NOT bedrooms) unless otherwise discussed. I just need to know where the restroom is! If you have a yard, I am happy to spend time with your pets there.
Ratings and reviews
Our dog Gryphon loooves Megan! Dogs know who the good people are!

Megan has great communication and an easy demeanor with dogs and people alike. Our dog just loves her and looks forward to his walks with her!

Thanks Megan for being so great with our anxious dog. We appreciate you!

Megan is a very thoughtful dog walker… she even brings cold water for my dog on the walk on hot days! 😊 I have a dog who is aggressive to other dogs and Megan is great with her. 5 Stars!!

Megan was amazing as always. Our dogs love her and I am always at ease leaving them with her. She is reliable and good with communication. I never worry. I highly recommend her.

Thank you Megan for all your attentiveness! Bella will enjoy having you walk her and we love knowing she’s in great hands!
