Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely, from feeding schedules and preferred walking routes to favorite toys and enrichment activities. I create a calm, safe environment, especially for anxious pets or those with medical needs.

Schedule

I do work full time, 5 to 6 days of the week. Please keep this in mind when booking with me! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as a veterinary assistant. I’m constantly caring for animals at work — monitoring behavior, administering medications, and ensuring they’re comfortable and safe — and that level of attention carries over into my pet sitting services. I regularly set aside time throughout the week for client pets, whether it’s for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I’m used to early mornings, late evenings, and everything in between when it comes to caring for animals. Pet care isn’t just a job for me — it’s my lifestyle.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Megan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Before your pet’s stay, it’s helpful to know: • Their daily routine (feeding times, exercise, nap schedules) • Any medications, special diets, or allergies • Their temperament and behavior triggers • Emergency vet contacts and health history • Specific likes, dislikes, or comfort items This information ensures I can provide the best care tailored to your pet’s needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
