Pet care experience
I’m in medicine and I grew up with a veterinarian-father. We've had every type of animal you can imagine - horses, cows, dogs, cats, iguanas, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! You name them, I've probably cared for them!! Also, it doesn't hurt that I have a vet on speed-dial ;-) I've got a high-energy lab, named Shiva, who loves to run - so if you need your dog walked (or run) I've got you covered! Why I love dog sitting Growing up we always had a house full of pets - my first dog, Mike, was a Husky-lab mix. Her parents thought she was a boy and named her Spike, which was grand, until we realized he was a she, but the name had already stuck. As I grew up, we had golden retrievers, lost dogs, and rescues of all types (including one dog that followed my brother home!). Currently, I have a rescued lab, Shiva, who owns the couches and loves to sniff all the smells :-) Meet my pets Shiva - black lab-ish (rescue) Bagheera - lynx-tipped Siamese (rescue) About my yard We are in an apartment complex, so there's no dedicated backyard space. However, we have two dog parks, one with a pool!! There are also two great parks within walking distance I visit daily. My experience administering medication Yes - my father is a veterinarian so I grew up helping him with animals - either holding a vein for an IV or helping him on calls. I have a few tricks to make the process easy and stress free. I’m currently on break through August 1 so my time is wide open! Just let me know your schedule and let needs. Except for the Euro Cup…. I can handle 1-2 friends for a couple days at a time. Overnight stays are totally doable. Shiva likes company (however I do have a cat….)
Reviews
Meghan was amazing. My cat had ear surgery the day before my trip and Meghan was willing to give medication and care for my cat’s ear after surgery. She took several pictures of my cat to update me while I was away. When I came back to town my cat was in great shape. I am very appreciative of the excellent care Meghan provided. She will be the “go to” person for my pets.
Great sitter! Highly recommend and will use again.
Meghan was wonderful with my two pups! She sent me pictures daily and they had so much fun going to the dog park daily. I would definitely recommend Meghan if you need your pups well taken care of while you're away :)
Meghan was great, she sent daily pic updates and got Izzy plenty of exercise. We will definitely be using again!

Home
Information Meghan K. would like to know about your pet
What's their daily schedule like (walks, poops, food)? Do they have any special needs? Can I run with them (say yes please!)? What's their fitness level? How are they with stairs? How do they get along with other dogs and cats? What's the deal with treats and bedtime? Any bad habits? Like chewing shoes or gnawing on carpets?
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I like to walk Shiva all over - so far we've discovered a couple parks, so many squirrels, and the local dog park (complete with pool!) Your dog's sleeping arrangement Shiva sleeps on a bed in my room, or on the couch in the living room, or the chair in the living room. Sometimes she likes to sleep on the floor. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm presently on a break so pips with have at least 4 walks daily. Shorter when it’s hot outside and longer in the early morning or evening when it’s cooler.
