Dog & Cat Lover!
Pet care experience
I have a rescue dog myself I adopted from Puerto Rico and have had two previous rescue dogs. I also have a rescue cat from NYC. I have fostered a dog with a spine injury as a result of a tornado, briefly worked with a pet sitting company and thus I have experience with all different breeds, I've taken care of a few neighbors dogs over the years as well. I am an EMT by training so even though that's for humans - I have a working medical knowledge that translates to pet illness/medication, etc. I am use to difficult dogs as I have had one and I am ok with accidents. I am ok administering medication or sub-q fluids if needed. I run my own small consulting business, so my schedule is fairly flexible. At this time I am only accepting new clients for drop-in visits, i.e. you are going on vacation for a few days or have military duty, etc. I look forward to meeting your dog/dogs/cat/cats very soon :) I am detail oriented in following directions and am more than willing to follow your guidance.
Reviews
Meredith was so lovely! I have a dog that can be people selective at times and Meredith was supportive/understanding of my concerns and my pup did great! Meredith was great about keeping in contact throughout the weekend and even kept an eye on an upcoming storm and got my girl out before the rain came. So appreciative to know my pup was cared for while I was away
Meredith was wonderful as always! Our holiday plans got changed around and she was super flexible with our new schedule! Our dogs love her and always have a great time seeing her.
Meredith is always so helpful and awesome at caring for my dogs!
Meredith was wonderful as usual! My dogs love her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very good learning about your pets, my attention to detail is often noticed. I am big on making sure I communicate with the owners while away if that is what they prefer.
Information Meredith G. would like to know about your pet
I am very good following specific information that you leave; as I swear the notes I leave my animal sitters are longer than my work briefings. I fully understand they are your babies, as mine are as well.
A typical day
I love to play fetch, and play with toys, as my house is a dog/cat jungle gym of stimulating toys! I also love giving belly scratches and talking to animals like they are humans :)

I run my own small consulting firm so I make my own hours and appointments. I am pet sitting slightly on the side but it is not my full-time job.
