Information Meredith C. would like to know about your pet

The safety of your pet and our children is of paramount importance. While we have taught our kids about pet safety, please only book if your pet is comfortable and friendly with children.

A typical day

While we have a fenced yard, we love to get out and walk! We are close to the lake and dog parks. We enjoy sitting two or three dogs at once so they get the "summer camp" experience and leave with memories, new friends and a little fatigue from all the fun!

Animal-loving family, fenced yard!

Pet care experience

I come from a family where our dog was as much a member of the family as anyone. My husband, two kids and I live in a single-family home with lots of room and fenced front and back yards. My husband works from home and I work hybrid, so one or all of us are always home. My husband and I have been dog sitting for many years, with great reviews. We took a break while we grew our family, and while our children were very young. Now the kids are requesting a pet, and we think dog sitting is the perfect segue to possibly adopting a dog of our own. We love the outdoors and enjoy walks in the neighborhood and along the nearby lakefront. Your pet will feel like they've had a fantastic vacation of their own and we promise to share lots of photos!

Meredith was amazing! Even when I needed to extend the boarding time, she was very kind, understanding, and accepted everything right away without any issues. Communication was smooth, and the whole experience went really well. I truly appreciate her flexibility and care. Highly recommend!

Super appreciative of Meredith and her family for taking care of Blue. They were super fun and easy to talk with and provided frequent photo updates of Blue which I loved receiving. I would definitely recommend Meredith to watch your dog!
