1 on 1 walks! I watch dogs and cats
Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Meghan! Before joining Rover I spent two years house sitting, bathing and walking a past landlord’s foster basset hounds (they had up to 7 dogs at a time!) and have watched and walked numerous neighbor’s and friend’s cats, kittens, puppies and dogs. Since joining I have closed my profile after finding a few wonderful regulars but have free'd up some more time to add a couple of more pups to my pack. Whether that means a last minute walk, filling in when your walker is out of town, a housesit or a reoccurring walk, it's all up to you. Dog Walks/Drop Ins: I am not a six-leash-at-a-time dog walker. I prefer one household per walk so that I am able to build a better relationship with your pet as well as you the owner, so that I am available anytime and as often as you need me, last minute or what not, and so that I have extra time to spend with them, if they are just too hard to leave once the clock is up. More on walks below... About me: I’m a writer & my boyfriend is an electrical engineer working on his doctorite. He’s very busy and has left me with a lot of time on my hands that I want to fill - so I’m gladly available around the clock to spend time with your pets. I welcome it! I’m a non-drinker, non-smoker, active bike rider, runner and weight train using a real squat rack so while I am skeeny I’m strong and athletic and can handle large, fiesty, or super hyper dogs and puppies. Need an example? I'm a nanny to a handsome male Greater Swiss on Rover named Cyrus (google the weight on that breed!) Servicing Hoboken and Manhattan** **I am a NY native, lived in the West Village for 8 years and know NYC like the back of my hand. In addition to Hoboken service, I am near the Path train and have an office space in the city, and can easily serve anyone in the West Village, Tribeca, Financial, Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen Area. ***I am super punctual and will not cancel or last minute cancel your walks unless I have somehow landed in the middle of the Hudson. Not new to work ethic, I own and manage my own freelance copywriting business and have an ample amount of time to take care of your pets!
Reviews
Meghan is absolutely wonderful! She is kind, prompt, and has a natural way with animals. Our giant puppy can sometimes be a handful, but he loved her immediately. We’ll definitely be calling on her again!
Meghan had grade "A" communication, and loved hanging out with my pup! She had a quick response time, ample flexibility with availability, and was super friendly!! Would highly recommend her and plan on using her again.

Information Meghan S. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know any behavioral problems. I’m okay handling it all, just need a heads up, if they are timid, how they are with other dogs (stop and chats with other dogs on the sidewalk), if dog parks are okay (if nearby) or you’d prefer them to stay out of the parks (I lean to the latter unless the owner tells me they are comfortable with the dog parks.) I definitely want to make sure your dog is always safe and in their comfort zone.
A typical day
Walks: I can walk your dog anywhere they or you like, on a long walk, to a park with others or on a one-on-one. I’m active myself and can play and run, but I also grew up with a Westie who wasn’t a fan of long walks (the princess wanted to be carried.) If that’s the case, I can carry your dog all across the land or help your dog learn to move along, especially if it’s a puppy. What ever you think is best.
