Nurturing Dog Lover & Runner
Pet care experience
I am an authentic, active, and nurturing dog lover from Iowa. Growing up, I loved caring for and bonding with my Miniature Schnauzer named Daisy. My neighbors noticed our bond and commitment and often asked me to watch their dogs for days at a time. Over the years I have cared for small, medium, and large size dogs. I have robust experiences in walking, feeding, and addressing the evolving needs of dogs under my care. I am eager to engage in play, walks, and adventures around the neighborhood. I have watched dogs for multi-week long overnight stays and short drop in visits. I recognize that each dog and family's needs may differ and I strive to be flexible, organized, and responsive. Currently I reside in Saint Paul. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m able to make time for drop in visits and 2/3 walks each day. Every pet has a different personality and diverse social needs. I ensure that I’m meeting the physical and social needs of each pet I care for. When outside, I make sure pets are leashed or in a fenced in backyard. For dogs who enjoy running, I run with them several times per week.
Reviews
Meredith is awesome! Very responsible and conscious of doing things the way we wanted with our dogs in our home. She stayed with our two dogs (one senior, one puppy) for two weeks and was very communicative and considerate, sending pictures to keep us connected. She left our house very clean as well. Highly, highly recommend!!
Meredith is our dog sitter / walker. In Winter 2021 - 2022 period, our beloved rescue dog Fred whom we adopted at 1 was almost 14 years old at the time with geriatric health issues when we found Meredith on Rover. We were planning on a trip to Europe in the Summer with my wife's mother who was the secondary care giver to Fred in the case we would go out of town - we did not trust Fred with a lot of people since he had very specific needs. So, we had to find someone we could trust enough to stay with our Fred while we were out of town for 10 days since Grandma would be joining us on our vacation. Meredith was very caring and attuned with her time with Fred and went out of her way to make sure that Fred was comfortable and had a positive experience with his walks and play time. Meredith has a calming and reassuring demeanor that provides calmness and security for all those who get to know her. Fred passed away in late March 2022 and Meredith was one of the first to know of his passing because even in that brief time she knew Fred, a beautiful connection was established. So, without reservation, my wife Kristine and I wholeheartedly recommend Meredith to any one who wants a care provider who will go out of their way to make sure your dog is loved and cared for when you are not around to do so. We recently adopted a new rescue dog Waverly and introduced her to Meredith a couple of weeks ago. It is nice to know that we will be able to count on Meredith to be there when we will need her to take care of our new fur baby, Joe and Kris Wagner
Meredith house/dog sat for us a couple times. She's was great with our lab --- making sure she got lots of exercise (she loved the runs around our neighborhood) and giving her lots of attention! She was very flexible with schedules and handling our house. Definitely recommend and a top choice for future dog sitting!
Meredith is not only wonderful with my dog, she is a spectacular human with warmth a glow from within. She is 100% trustworthy, my dog is ecstatic to see her, and she cares for him as if her own. Couldn’t recommend anyone more highly!

Information Meredith B. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds, especially active dogs. Before watching a new dog, I need to know how much exercise, food, and socialization they need. It’s also important that I know any other health history that would impact my care for the dog.
A typical day
I am very active and enjoy going on long walks and runs. If the dog is able and interested, I would love exercise together around the community.
