About Megan S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care deeply for animals and it is very important to me that they are happy and safe. I offer my care for any pets you may have along with dogs or cats. I follow directions provided for the care of your pets closely and always keep you updated. It's my mission to provide attentive care to all animals, especially because it makes me so happy! Also, I respect other people's homes, and make sure everything is as it was and tidy during my stay. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, and like my alone time!
Information Megan S. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Most importantly, I would like to know if they have any special medical needs and emergency contact/veterinarian/groomer information. Are they food or toy aggressive? Also, how well they walk outside on a leash (do they pull so much they hurt themselves, do they like to run after animals, cars, or bikes/skateboards)? Are they well behaved around strangers, children, or other animals? Do they need help with stairs, and are they ok with being picked up? How are they with car rides? Do they like to play pranks on the sitter? I am open to caring for any animal. If any other animals are part of your family, and we are both comfortable with the arrangement, I can include them in my care services no problem. My only restriction is doing live feeding for say a snake or a turtle. I'm ok with frozen. As a rat lover I just couldn't do it.
A typical day
We can play with their favorite toys, and give lots of massages and cuddles, of course! We can also work on learning some new tricks, play hide n seek or chase, use treats for scavenger hunting, and have photoshoots! I love the outdoors so long walks, hikes, or beach visits would be fun! I can even take them on camping trips once enough trust is established! Cats are included with outdoor fun too! If your cat is already used to outdoor walks on leash or enjoy a backpack carrier I would be more than happy to take them out! I have no qualms with using strollers for dogs and cats either! I will spend as much time with them as needed to make sure they feel safe the whole time you are away!

The Pet Nanny
Pet care experience
Which service should you choose? ►*Drop-ins* ◄ Care for any animal and include potty breaks, yard time, feeding, playing, cuddles, medication, etc. ►*Dog Walks* ◄ Walk focused and for dogs only, great for dogs who want more time outside. We will spend 30 mins or 60 mins on the walk. Ever since I was little I enjoyed being around and caring for animals. They have always brought this shy kid comfort and companionship, and I make it my life mission to repay them any chance I get. I also really like being of help to people who depend on me! I have 20+ years of varying pet care experience ranging from my own pet family (cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and rodents) to professional experience with being a pet care specialist at a daycare/lodging facility, a horse retirement volunteer, dog walker, and pet sitter. I have experience administering oral medication and insulin injections, and I have cared for pets at many different life stages. I have a lot of experience with animals who require extra or extensive care, such as seniors, special needs, or sick dogs and cats. I feel I have a great sense for noticing when a pet is not feeling well, in pain, or acting abnormally. Most importantly, I am very organized when it comes to medication, feeding, and cleaning regimens to make sure they're consistently getting the specific care they need!
Reviews
Megan is the absolute best! She is very compassionate, send us photos of our kitties and gives us detailed updates while we are away. 10/10
Megan did a wonderful job caring for my cat while I was away! She showed up on time, followed all instructions, and was super easy to work with. Communication was smooth the entire time and I came home to a very happy cat. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you!
Megan S. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Megan is amazing! She is super communicative, detailed and always arrive on time. She takes lots of great photos of our cats to share with us while we are on the trip. We had to made a bunch of changes on the visit times due to some last minute issues, and Megan was very understanding, flexible and accommodating. we will definitely continue to book Megan for all of our future trips, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter!
