Experienced, attentive dog owner
Pet care experience
I’ve owned dogs my entire life. From housetraining puppies to caring for aging senior dogs, I have experience with a range of personalities/quirks and am very comfortable with large or hyperactive dogs and rescues. My older Beagle has a seizure disorder, so I have experience with caring for pups with medical needs and I can administer medication. I also have 5 years of experience volunteering in a high-volume animal shelter, working predominantly with large dogs, so I understand how animals might behave when they are in a stressful environment and interacting with an unfamiliar person. I strive to provide a stress-free, comforting environment while you are away so please let me know what your pup loves the most! What you can expect: — Time outdoors, playing or on leashed walks — Cuddles and belly rubs — Lots of (approved) treats — Every effort to stick to your pet’s routine and establish clear boundaries! *** Please inquire about my housesitting availability. This summer, I will only be accepting clients that will allow me to bring my dog, George, overnight. Will need to do a meet and greet to introduce our pups beforehand. I will never leave my dog alone with yours. I can provide in-home doggy day care and boarding on Fridays and weekends with a prior meet and greet. Your pup will never be left alone when I’m providing doggy day care, but I do require them to be crate-trained for overnight stays.
Reviews
Twas only a night but Meghan gave us plenty of updates and communicated well. House was how we left it, dogs are safe… can’t ask for much more. Meghan, thanks a bunch! Recommended to anyone else looking for a caretaker. Would love to work with you again - Rachel and Jay

Meghan is so thorough and helpful. She cares so much for our Dex and assisted with all the little extras around the house too. So glad to have a trusted resource like Meghan!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can provide some services in my own home on Fridays and weekends. I am currently available for overnight housesitting through May. I am open to spending as much time as I can with your pup. I enjoy walks, playing outdoors and sticking to their routine as much as possible! I know it can be stressful for pets when their owners are gone so I strive to provide a stress-free experience for your best friend! I will use your standard equipment and follow all directions you provide, especially on walks. I have experience with escape artists and will do everything I can to keep your pup safe. I also am very neat and tidy, will clean up any messes your pet makes and will treat your space with respect.
Home
Information Meghan M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or potential challenges I should account for. Favorite toys, treats and activities as well as whether I can bring my own treats. If your dog is afraid of storms or loud noises, please let me know especially if I'm housesitting. I'm always up for a meet and greet before we book a service.
A typical day
I personally love long walks and spending time outside. Depending on your dog's energy level and your preference, I'd love to take them on a long walk around the neighborhood, play in the backyard or take them to a nearby dog park!

Availability
I work full-time during the week but have a very flexible schedule. I can provide long morning walks, drop in visits at lunch and afternoon playtime before lots of attention in the evening. I can board one dog in my home if they are crate-trained and get along with my dog, but a meet and greet is required beforehand. They will not be left alone in my home or left with my pup unattended. I am available for drop-in visits, walks and some housesitting. I am open to long-term, ongoing schedules as well as flexible, on-the-spot drop-ins.
