Dog/cat lover! Will walk, run&play!
Pet care experience
My name is Megan and I have a huge passion for taking care of animals! I previously worked at two veterinary clinic where I was the receptionist as well as a veterinary assistant. There I helped administer medical care to all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, lizards, birds and small rodents. In addition, I have volunteered at two animal shelters where I walked dogs not only for exercise but also to increase their chances of being adopted. This included cleaning the kennels, feeding, and making sure the dogs had water, as well as play time. I also have a 1 year old kitty named Mochi, she is playful and full of energy. This means I'm also available to take care of your kitty needs! I really enjoy being around animals and love taking care of them 💗 I always always always send photo and videos of your fur babies !
Reviews
Megan is fantastic! She was so understanding, caring, and calm with Patches’ separation and Irby and barrier frustration. I didn’t worry about Patch at all during his stay with Megan, which says a lot! Couldn’t recommend Megan highly enough and would love to have her back.
Megan is my go-to for dog walking and watching. She’s responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. She’s always able to help with the unexpected last-minute requests. Megan loves dogs and more importantly, dogs LOVE her!
Megan is unbelievable! I had trouble finding a trusted dog sitter/walker for my rambunctious German shorthaired pointer. Won’t look any further! She handles him very well and is knowledgeable and a wide variety of breeds. Meagan does a fantastic job walking and feeding my dog when needed and even d drives 30 minutes to my house to do so. Highly recommended and thankful.
Megan has cared for my 1 year old shitzu Chiquis. My dog looooves her. Megan sent me lots of videos and photos because she knew I missed her a ton. And I felt super at ease knowing Chiquis was with her. Megan is a total sweetie, very considerate and responsible.

Safety, trust & environment
I will make sure to ask in-depth questions about your pets behavior, schedule, diet etc. I am very observant and watchful of the pets I am taking care of whether that be when we are having one on one time or out in public on walks I.e. making sure that if they are giving signs of being over stimulated or feeling anxious or scared I do what I can to redirect and to make them feel and stay safe!
Information Megan S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any behavioral issues, such as resource guarding, not friendly with other dogs/cats, are they okay to be off leash or will they run away, if you are working on potty training or any tricks/behaviors that I need to make sure to enforce during my time with your pet, if your dog is nervous or easily excited etc.
A typical day
I love being active so I am always up for walks around the block/neighborhood or park, tug of war, fetch, playing out in the yard etc. I love going on hikes with your dog or cat so if they are okay in the car I would love the opportunity to spend that interactive time with them :) If you have a dog that is not as active I love snuggles, and laying around as well or playing in the house!

Megan can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently working a full-time job in Rockville, MD and I take the train everyday. I’m away from the home around 10 hours, hence why I can only do weekend boarding ay the moment but if you are okay with that I can always stay with your pet and of course let them out at night and in the morning during the weeks with extra playtime, walks, and loads of snuggles or spending time together if your pup or kitty isn’t the snuggling type :) can do drop in walks in the evening after 6:15 pm
