Loved like they're my own

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong lover of dogs of all breeds. I grew up with labradors at home and would pet sit for my neighbors two dachshunds whenever they would go out of town even when they were older and required help going down stairs as well as special diets. I helped my friends with training their dogs. When it got too hard for my grandma to walk her beagle I happily stepped up to do it. I also have experience with caring for a [domesticated] rabbit that I rescued and a gerbil though I adore all small animals as well. Though I've never had the pleasure of owning a cat myself I've had experience with caring for a beautiful long haired cat over a few days and lived with an amazing Oriental for about 5 years. Now I'm the proud owner of a German shepherd mix and I also help my disabled sister take care of her chihuahua who she got as a puppy. I promise I will treat your dog like my own. I know how stressful it can be for both human and dog to be away from each other, it's my job to make that even just a tiny bit easier. Animals are my passion. You can definitely expect photos and lots of details from me about my visits with your pet. Please don't mistake my lower prices for inexperience, I'm just trying to get established :)

Meggie is an exceptional pet sitter. She kept in contact with us daily and sent multiple pictures to us of our kitties. This is the second time Meggie has cared for our cats. I would highly recommend her to care for your animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I know structure is important so I'd like to deviate from a dog's routine as little as possible. I will make sure they get their meals on time, get as much exercise or enrichment as they need and any other specific things your dog might need. I'm happy to do whatever is necessary to accommodate your dog

Information Meggie S. would like to know about your pet

Please just let me know anything I can do to make things easier on you and your dog, I'm happy to accommodate whatever is needed. I totally understand how potentially stressful having a new person just pop in can be for a dog and am willing to go at any pace for them. Also please let me know if they have any food sensitivities or special diets; I know treats are often a great way to a dog's heart and I always carry a variety of treats with me

A typical day

I adore working to teach them new games or tricks and am of firm belief that all dogs can learn. Having a high energy dog myself I know of lots of different ways to tire them out physically and mentally whether they just need a walk to sniff around and get some exercise, need to use their mind on a puzzle or something else I'm all for it.

Availability

I'm currently exploring having a career as a dog trainer so my schedule is pretty open to spend as much time is needed attending to whatever your pet might need. However I'm not available any earlier than 11 am. If I need to be around longer so they finish their business or something else, I will absolutely do that (at no extra charge to you obviously!)
