Highlights
Pet care experience
Adventurous dog lover
I’ve grown up with dogs, and my earliest memories involve reading stories to my golden retriever. I also spent a lot of time helping in my mom’s dog training classes, where I learned the importance of patience, understanding, and clear communication. Now, I care for my elderly, blind rescue dog, and I take him on all of my adventures, so I’m particularly experienced with senior and special needs pets. I’ve also fostered kittens and cared for friends’ pets, both short- and long-term. As a pet parent myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your beloved companion behind, which is why I make it a priority to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s providing special care for seniors, helping with puppy training, or making sure any pet with unique needs is well looked after, I offer a calm, attentive, and loving presence that comes from years of experience

Safety, trust & environment
Care routines vary depending on the service provided. In my home, I ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular feeding, playtime, and exercise tailored to their needs. I follow any specific instructions from owners closely, including dietary preferences, medication schedules, and behavioral routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine to reduce stress—this includes sticking to their regular schedule, keeping their environment tidy, and providing companionship. I always prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness, whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them.
Ratings and reviews
Megs is great with my senior dog and gives me peace of mind. My grumpy old man can be wild and snarly. But Megs seems to know how to handle him!
Megs was very responsible, reliable, & trustworthy. She did a great job caring for our chinchillas & rabbit when we were away over the holidays. She loves animals & even picked up chinchilla treats for our little chins. I will definitely hire her again to care for our small pets.
We had a great experience with Megs! She was so commmucative and wonderful with our elderly dog.
Meg is fantastic, respectful, snd reliable! I am so grateful to have her to let my dogs out while I am not home. I’ve been able to rely on her multiple times. 100% would recommend her as a pet sitter!
Megs stayed at my place when I went on vacation. When I came home, she left my place the way I left it. Everything was clean, and put away, which I really appreciate as she went above and beyond on that. She even washed my sheets that way I can just go to bed as soon as I get home. Communication has always been great with her. I will definitely book her again next time I need a pet sitter!
As always, Meg was so reliable and wonderful to count on and to have let my dogs out while I was at work. She is prompt and I appreciate her communication after her check in. I would 1,000% recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Schedule
I care for an elderly, special needs dog, so thoughtful, consistent pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a postdoctoral research scholar, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around animal care—whether that means medication, gentle walks, or just spending quality time. I’m used to adjusting my routine to meet a pet’s needs, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

- I like to know as much as possible ahead of time so I can make your dog feel comfortable and cared for. Things like their daily routine, energy level, how they do on walks, favorite toys or games, and any quirks or things that make them nervous are super helpful. It’s also important to know about any health issues, meds, or behavior stuff—like how they are with other dogs or if they’re crate trained. The more I know, the better I can make their time with me feel like home.
