Pet care experience
As a life-long dog owner and animal lover, I will make sure that your pet receives the care and attention they need, while leaving you worry-free while you are enjoying your time away from home. A little About my Experience with Dogs: I've owned many dogs throughout my life, mainly Golden Retrievers, but I am comfortable with all dogs big and small. I currently have an 8-year-old Pug named Pickles, who is the most easy going dog on earth and gets along well with other dogs although he's pretty low-energy. I have cared for both puppies and elderly dogs, and understand their needs and limits, but will always make sure that they are adequately stimulated throughout the day. About my Home: I live in a safe, secure, and dog-friendly apartment building. Our apartment is very spacious with 2 bedrooms and a patio that's secured with no way for the dogs to fit through the bars. Because we love to snuggle with our pets and they're part of the family, dogs are allowed on the furniture and sometimes in bed, but our dog Pickles sleeps in his crate in the den on most nights. My Dog-Sitting Style: I'm very flexible and understand that dogs need some time to adjust to new surroundings. Your dog will quickly feel right at home with me, my husband, and Pickles, as we will give them lots of love and care. My Schedule: I don't work weekends, and am home most of the time. As a teacher, I have summers free and will open up my availability to during the week. Other Things You Should Know: Due to weight limits at my apartment, we can only take dogs up to 50 lbs., but if you have a larger dog, I'd be happy to house sit. If you choose to for me to house sit, I would be happy to care for any other pets that you have as I have owned cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and reptiles (although dogs are my favorite). I also could take care of plants and do a little light cleaning around the house while you're away.
Reviews
Megan and her husband were wonderful with my two-year-old pug, Frank. She sent me lots of pictures and was very responsive. Frank had such a great time that he didn’t want to go home. He loved her dog Pickles. Will definitely be re-booking her for dog boarding in the future.
This was the first time I left my dog with anyone and it went very well! Megan’s dog Pickles got along well with my dog and Megan kept me informed and put my mind at rest. I would definitely use Megan again!!!
Megan has watched our little Yorkie, Roscoe, many times. The longest time was about a week when we had family from Australia visiting and we had gone out of town. She loves dogs and it shows! Roscoe isn't the easiest dog; he's quite the prince in both a good and bad way, but she knows how to treat him as he wants to be treated and how he needs to be treated. I highly recommend Megan to watch your dog as well!

Information Megan T. would like to know about your pet
I grew up with Golden Retrievers, but have cared and owned for lovable mutts, Miniature Schnauzers, and I currently own a Pug. I don't have a breed preference, but before I meet your furry family member, I would like to know about your dogs behavior with other dogs, children, and food. I also would like to know what they like to eat (or not eat) - raw, wet, or dry food - and I would need to know whether they like to bark or howl (especially since I live in an apartment)? I also would be happy to meet you and your pet before house sitting or boarding to make sure that its a good fit.
A typical day
Although I don't have a yard, your pet will be able to sun themselves on our fenced-in patio, enjoy dog walks on the walking path near the L.A. River, go on hikes at Tree People or Franklin Canyon Park, and visit the Laurel Canyon Dog Park.
