Highlights
Pet care experience
Senior/Special Needs Dog Paradise!
Last year I needed care for my senior dogs and noticed there was a need for more senior/special need pet care takers in our area in which led me here! I was so nervous leaving my girls with a stranger and wanted to be able to help provide peace and comfort to others who feel the way I did. My childhood dog (Nelly) lived to be 19 years old. When she became a senior, I learned so much as she needed extra attention and to live life a little slower. That’s when senior dogs began to hold a special place in my heart. My other two childhood dogs are now 14 (Hoho) and 15 (Sole) years old and have taught me even more. They have had some special needs along the way. With my “Golden Girls”, as I like to call them, I have gained experience with blindness, hearing loss, skin allergies, wheelchair use/lifting needed, diapering, medication, anxiety, and aggression. Many years ago I worked in a dog daycare and did pet care for a few families/friends. I also have had cats, a rabbit, hamsters and leopard geckos when I was younger. I am comfortable and confident in caring for them too. My profile is mostly geared towards my in-home boarding but I do offer drop in services after 6PM within a short distance from my home and overnight stays. I’d be happy to check in on your cat(s),dog(s), or other animals!

Ratings and reviews
Once again, Megan was absolutely wonderful with my shy, super sweet, barky pup. She allows Sweetie her space to get comfortable and feel safe. Thank you so much, Megan, for the kindness and patience you show Sweetie. It's appreciated beyond words. And, all the photos you sent were great along with her report card. Again, many thanks.
I have never felt so comfortable leaving my babies with someone. Megan kept me updated all day on how they were doing, sent wonderful pics and they loved it so much I don’t even think they wanted to come home! I will always choose Megan to care for my babies!
It was Easter weekend and I needed boarding services for my 12 year old dog Luna. My dog is low energy, mostly naps, and some engagement. Megan was amazing and the perfect fit for Luna. She provided daily updates and pictures. Even did an Easter egg hunt with luna. She communicates well. If you have questions or concerns she will reply back. It was a positive experience for the both of us and will definitely rebook again.
Megan is awesome! Very quick to respond and gives many updates! She is very caring and attentive to Ace who is very needy! Thank you so much for caring about Ace and taking very good care of him!
Took great care of my babyboy!! Thanks so much!!
We left our 15 year old girl with Megan and could not have been happier. I received tons of pictures and even report cards! I was updated on anything and everything which put my mind at ease. I was a little worried leaving our old girl with someone, she usually comes with us when we travel, but I would absolutely let Megan watch her again.

Schedule
I’m with my dogs 98% of the time. I am at home all day. I only leave for a few hours at a time when I have errands to run and often times the Golden girls ride with me (no pressure for your dogs to take car rides, just an option if it’s something they enjoy!) We go outside in our backyard every few hours for the girls to potty. They spend a lot of time napping, they are fairly low energy dogs except for Sole’s zoomies and Hoho likes to dig outside. We go for short walks, I have a pet stroller and wagon for any babe(s) who are unable to walk and want to join. Hoho enjoys the outdoors and Sole likes the indoors so we balance our time to please both girls. **Updated daycare change- If your babe(s) is staying for 8 hours or under, the charge will be the regular daycare price listed on my profile. If you are looking to book for over 8 hours, I will modify the charge to be the same price as a boarding stay, making it an “extended stay” daycare visit. You will first be informed of this and have to approve it. Rover has not yet came out with “extended stay” for daycare visits option, only for overnights. I have sent in a request to Rover to add this in and discussed my new plan of action for my personal business. I am happy to discuss this further with anyone who has any questions, please reach out!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Scratches, belly rubs, kisses, treats, and uplifting/“baby” talks go on all throughout the day (unless not wanted of course!). I only accept lower energy dogs as my girls do not have interest in playtime with other dogs and just like to relax. Whichever room I am in at my home, I am followed by the Golden Girls! I know exactly where they are at all times. They make themselves comfortable on all couches and beds and also they have their own beds and blankets throughout our home. We currently only have partial fencing in our yard so I will put on your dog(s) collar/harness and leash with each potty break or I have a small dog gate if that’s preferred. I have gates I can put up in my home as well if we need to block any areas off. I have kennels too. For night time, your dog will be in the same room as I sleep in (unless they prefer elsewhere) so I can keep an ear out for them incase they need me. We are a household of adults, no children except on Fridays my 5 year old niece stays. She’s been raised with our dogs and is very caring with them. If your dog does not prefer children, we will have her keep her distance. I’ll keep you updated on your babe(s) through the day if you’d like, plenty of photos/videos, and we can FaceTime if you’d like. Your animals will be treated as if they are my own with love, care, and safety. I will treat them as my own as that’s what I seek when someone cares for my dogs and I know how hard is can be to leave them. You can leave in peace and relax knowing they are in a loving home! I am happy to adapt to their lifestyle and needs to make them comfortable.
Pets
A typical day
Potty breaks every few hours for those who need it. Supervised all day while hanging out close to me. I have puzzles to find treats, stuffies, and beds/blankets. Medication, feedings, water, and treats on the schedule you provide. Short walks and car rides for the dogs that enjoy them. Bedtime in the same room as me but separate from other dogs. I’m happy to make accommodations to make them feel like they are at home!
