Dependable & Responsive Sitter
Pet care experience
Each furry friend has a unique personality that I honor with calm flexibility and attentive leadership. Caring for animals is second nature for me because I was raised around a diverse "pack" with litters and rescues keeping us busy. In college, I continued to house sit for professors (cats, dogs, and horses), keeping the animals safe and on consistent schedules. 5 years ago I adopted a 20lb rescue pup. We completed basic obedience and canine good citizen training and continue to practice in public spaces. With this knowledge of animal behavior and positive reinforcement training, I can entertain your pet while adapting to their needs. My love for animals aside, I enjoy nature walks, cooking new recipes, and watching movies. In my professional life, I've worked for nonprofits and universities that have social and environmentally just missions. Contact me to talk more about your pet's needs!
Reviews
Meghan has helped us on several occasions by dog sitting for several days to a week. She's great with our dog and a friendly and responsible person. We'd use her services again.
Meghan is a very loving and caring dog caregiver. She skillfully balances the tender love and firm structure dogs need to thrive which I want from anyone taking care of a dog. I highly recommend Meghan!
Meghan is a loving dog mom and would treat your dogs as nicely as she treats her dog. She makes sure her dog gets good exercise and plenty of affectionately. She is a loving pet owner but stern when she needs to be.
Meghan is a wonderful dog parent and extremely responsible and caring dog lover. She was easily able to handle our big dog and walk him with her dog on busy Church St. I highly recommend her as an excellent dog walker and trust her completely with our dog.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced in yard and a medium sized dog that loves company. I make sure to do a meet and great in a neutral space to allow the pups to get familiar with each other before hand. I always follow up these introductions with some commands and treats (if allowed by owner). While caring for your pet you can expect they will enjoy long walks, plenty of toys, and lots of affection.
Information Meghan T. would like to know about your pet
Starting off, it's important to know if your dog has any fears, what their typical routine is like, and what best motivates them (food, one on one affection, play etc.) I enjoy hearing the traits you love most about your dog and any training you want support for.
A typical day
It is true that a tired dog is a happy dog so I am big on getting outside. I like to take the dogs on hikes through Red Rocks Park, the Intervale or Rock Point. If your dogs are comfortable, we can visit the dog park or take a ride to a natural area further out.
