Compassionate & Caring Dog Walker!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Megan, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am new to Rover, but I have over three years of experience walking and sitting dogs. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels. Besides walking, I enjoy spending quality time with each dog I visit, including playing, basic command training if they are learning, or just spending a few minutes keeping them company as they relax. It is very important that your dog feels comfortable around me and sees me as a safe and trusting person! Additionally, I have past experience working as a dog bather and working at a veterinarian’s office.
Reviews
Megan was so great with my dog! She very kindly agreed to do a meet and greet with my pup, he’s a rescue and can sometimes take a bit to warm up to others. He immediately loved her, no question about it. Megan showed up on time everyday and took care of Balboa with the instructions I provided her. She provided me peace of mind that my baby boy was taken care of while I was away! She sent me pictures of Balboa playing in the backyard, which I appreciated.
Megan was great with my ginormous Great Dane puppy, Finn. She took him on walks and played with him and I know she took great care of him because he was calm and happy when I arrived home from work. She sent adorable pictures and a detailed report of the visits. I highly recommend her!
Thank you Megan for taking such good care of our pup!
Megan is an extremely reliable and responsible person who goes to every length to make sure she gets a job done well! She has a passion for animals and provides the very best for her pets, extending that love to all animals she encounters. She has watched my dog on various occasions and not only did she pay great attention to my dogs needs, she was nutruing and caring. I will absolutely be hiring her in the future!
About Megan S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I treat each dog as if they were my own. As stated above, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable around me. Building trust is key to them feeling secure with me. I will follow their routine and always be aware of our surroundings during walks or in the backyard. I am familiar with many breeds and their specific behaviors and needs, including Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Hounds, and Toy breeds. I also understand some rescue dogs require a little more time to warm up, and I am happy to patiently and slowly build that trust with them.
Information Megan S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Disclosure of behaviors is especially important for me to know before I enter the home and when I take your pet for a walk to keep both of us and others safe. Behaviors include; slow to warm up, attempts to run out the door when someone walks in, food aggression, toy aggression, dog aggression, and triggers. Please let me know if your pet requires medication, needs mobility assistance such as walking up/down the stairs, or has food allergies.
A typical day
I enjoy playing with dogs, such as tug of war, fetch, or chasing each other around the yard! If there is a dog-friendly park near your house, we will definitely go there. Sometimes with the owner’s permission, if there is a coffee shop within walking distance and a dog has no dairy allergies, I will get them a puppachino (whipped cream in a small cup)!

Availability
I currently have a flexible schedule. Typically weekends are reserved for repeat clients I already have, but I am happy to try make something work if it’s possible!
