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.

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.

Information Megan R. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

A typical day starts with welcoming your pet, checking in on their needs, and making sure they’re comfortable. I begin by ensuring your pet’s routine is maintained—feeding, medication if needed, and a little fresh air, afternoon playtime sessions, walks, and other tailored enrichment activities. Throughout the day, I provide lots of attention, cuddles, and photo updates so you can see that your pet is happy and well-cared for.
