Availability

As someone passionate about fitness and mental wellness, I deeply value daily movement and time in nature–for both people and pets. I structure my days to prioritize physical activity and outdoor time, making dog walking and pet care a natural fit in my routine. Whether it’s a midday walk, some fetch in a nearby field, or just quality one-on-one time, I love integrating animals into my day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available during some weekdays and most weekends. I graduated from Algonquin College in June of 2025, and spend my time either working from home or from an Ottawa office nearby. A couple of times a week, I also work at a Golf Club, which is more of a seasonal job. This balance gives me plenty of availability and energy to provide reliable, loving care for your pet when you need it most.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I prefer to be home and present while caring for animals, ensuring they are either being exercised, entertained, fed, or simply adored. My studio apartment includes a secure balcony and multiple nearby parks–including Lemineux Island Dog Park and Laroche Park–making it easy to incorporate fresh air, movement, and stimulation into their day. My background in residential, commercial, construction, and automotive cleaning/detailing means I maintain a high standard of cleanliness in both my home and vehicle—I’m more than prepared for the occasional pet mess. Whether its muddy paws or spilled water, every situation will be handled calmly and thoroughly. Your pet will be in a safe, clean, and welcoming space where they can relax and feel right at home.

Information Meghan K. would like to know about your pet

Please don’t hesitate to share anything that will help me care for your pet with confidence and compassion. I’d love to know about any recurring behaviours, routines, quirks, or anxieties your pet may have, as well as any dietary restrictions, medical needs, or training preferences. The more I know up front–like leash reactivity, crate habits, or favourite comfort items–the better I can provide a safe, smooth, and personalized experience for both of you.

A typical day

Every pet is unique, so I tailor each day to their breed, personality, energy level, and any health needs. A typical day might include practicing basic commands, playing with their favourite toys, enjoying fresh air, or simply spending quality time together. I take the time to bond, engage, and create a positive experience—whether we’re out exploring a nearby park or relaxing after a good play session. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you're away.

Devoted Pet Lover, Future Dog Owner

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbours’ pets since I was young, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I fall in love with every dog I meet and approach each one with compassion, patience, and a commitment to responsible care. I’m passionate about understanding the unique needs of every breed and believe in positive reinforcement to build trust and encourage good behaviour. I am also Pet CPR + First Aid certified, giving me the confidence and skills to respond calmly and safely in case of emergency. Your pets wellbeing is always my top priority. Whether we’re out on a walk practicing basic commands or relaxing after playtime, your dog will be treated with the same love, attention and affection I’d give my own. As someone who loves being a bit extra, I’ve created a homemade, naturally mint-infused paw balm to moisturize paw pads–and freshen breath for dogs who tend to lick their paws. You can explore more about Pampered Paws and my other experiences on my LinkedIn. Until I adopt a dog of my own, I’d be honoured to care for yours with the same heart and dedication.

Meghan was fantastic!!! She is as good as advertised from previous reviews. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. We will definitely use her again.

Meghan is absolutely amazing. She is like Mary Poppins. Bailey absolutely loved her. She worked with him on basic commands, which was a complete bonus for me. She taught him how to work with puzzles. More than I could even have asked for… This visit was amazing and I will be having Meghan back as soon as I can!
