Pet care experience
Besides caring for my own pets (previously 3, now 2 dogs and one cat), I'm also an experienced boarding kennel manager and professional dog trainer. I trained for a prominent dog training company here in Boise, where I was also in charge of the health and happiness of the dogs that stayed with us there as the kennel manager. I was also the general manager of a busy pet boarding kennel where we cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, cats, and even pigs and rabbits. I am PetTech certified in dog/cat CPR and first aid, and am a former veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for dogs with different disabilities and medical needs such as diabetes, blindness/deafness, arthritis, and even ones that can't go to the bathroom on their own. I've cared for and trained anxious and nervous dogs, reactive dogs, seniors, puppies, and everything in between! I guarantee your furry family member is in great hands! Boarding/daycare - I'm preferably only taking dogs from one household at a time, but if you need any dates that you see are unavailable, please feel free to send me a message and we might be able to work something out!
Reviews
Meghan is very helpful. She helped us to accommodate new arrival time and pet pick up due to flight delay.
Meghan is the best. I have booked with her a handful of times. I never have to worry about a thing while we are away.
Meghan is a consummate professional. Always incredibly communicative regarding our Pets. So happy to have her watch our pups when we are away. :-)
Thanks for the great visit. You are great about enforcing the teaching we are trying to get Beau to learn and teaching him new things too.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, crates (if needed) for your crate-trained pups, plus two high-energy dogs (and a bossy cat) of my own to keep yours company. I introduce the dogs slowly and responsibly to avoid any incidents, and can easily keep everyone separated if need be. My experience with dogs of all temperaments makes managing a house full of canines a breeze, even when they need special treatment or accommodations.
Home
Information Meghan E. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know all the important details about your pet - special needs or dietary needs if any, likes and dislikes, behavior quirks, etc. It's also good to know what rules you expect them to follow in your own home so I can be consistent!
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation are both so important! Your pups can expect to play fetch and tug (or whatever they like), play in the kiddie pool, and go for walks, but also play mental games like hide and seek, play with puzzle toys - or we can practice some training and tricks to exercise their mind.

Availability
I'm a stay at home mom with loads of time to spend with your pets! I can follow your schedule to the letter while making sure they gets lots of attention and extra love while you're away. **For drop-in visits and walks, I'm currently unavailable between the hours of 10-4 as I am home alone with my kids. However, if you need a drop- in and don't mind them tagging along, then I can definitely help. They are 2 and 3 years old and used to being around every kind of pet.**
