Pet care experience
From a very young age, I have been a true lover of all animals! I majored in Fish and Wildlife Biology at UMASS Amherst. While obtaining my degree, I began work as a Veterinary Assistant. I worked with a wonderful veterinarian who firmly believed in hands-on-training. After working there for a year, I earned the promotion to Veterinary Technician. I'm highly comfortable around all animals and capable of administering medications (oral, topical or injectable). After graduation, I moved to California and continued work as a Veterinary Technician at a large animal hospital facility. After three years, I decided to move back east and pursue a career opportunity with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. After a highly competitive application process, I was selected to be a Vermont State Game Warden. I attended the VT Police Academy and was certified as a Full Time Police Professional. I was thoroughly background checked and vetted before obtaining this position. If chosen to be your pet sitter or dog walker, you can rest assured that your pet and your home will be safe and secure in my care. After five years as a Game Warden, I resigned to be able to be home full-time with my son. My son is now school-age but I have the pleasure of having my 4.5 yr old daughter with me. As a full-time "stay-at-home" Mama, my schedule is extremely flexible and accommodating. I offer more than just pet sitting and dog walking--I am able to accommodate requests for vet visits, dog washing, yard clean-up, fill your fridge upon your return home, hotel room visits...you name it. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your pets! Meet and greets are free of charge and my rates are open for discussion. I look forward to meeting you!
Reviews
Meira did an amazing job taking care of our kitties! They seemed so happy and well taken care of when we got home. One of our kitties has health problems, and Meira was able to give her her meds with no issues. We loved the daily updates that Meira sent, and she was very reliable and easy to communicate with.
Meira was great! We appreciated the daily updates and pictures. She even made friends with our shy cat!
Meira took great care of my boys!
I feel so confident that our cats are well taken care of with Meira looking after them while we are on vacation. She’s very organized and great with communication. I highly recommend! Thanks Meira!

Information Meira D. would like to know about your pet
Prior to caring for any pet, I like to do a meet and greet, free of charge. You will be entrusting me with your beloved pet and allowing me access to your home. As a former law enforcement officer, I know this is not to be taken lightly! During the meet and greet, I will learn everything needed to best take care of your pet(s). Some questions I will ask include: Do you have any safety concerns about your pet? For example, is your dog prone to pulling on his leash or is he an escape artist? Has your pet ever bitten anybody? Is he/she shy or nervous around children or other animals? Has your pet had any past injuries, surgeries or illnesses? Are there any dietary restrictions? At the meet and greet, a complete questionnaire form will be filled out, giving me the knowledge I need to best provide for your pet.
A typical day
I love to be active! Whether it's playing ball, Frisbee or taking a run on the beach, I'm up for it! I would love to know what your dog likes the most--if it's just hanging out and getting a belly rub or going on an adventure, I'm happy to oblige.
