It seems my care of animals doesn't ever stop. I currently have 5 of my own rescues but I find time to be sure yours get the attention they need too! I'm available most every day and most weekends as long as I'm not booked with another client!

Safety, trust & environment

As a professional pet care provider, I understand the importance of providing personalized care to every furry family member. When caring for a fur-child in its owner's home, I take the time to understand their routines, habits, and preferences to ensure that they feel comfortable and happy in their familiar surroundings. I prioritize the fur-kid’s safety and well-being, making sure that their food, water, and exercise needs are met on a regular schedule. I also provide plenty of attention and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. In addition to basic care, I am also experienced in administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and addressing any issues that may arise during my time with your beloved pet. I treat every fur-child in my care with the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own, and strive to make their time without their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Have multiple pets and need drop in visits? Ask me about special rates for multiple pets! I’d love to help you out!

Information Meredith M. would like to know about your pet

How are they with other dogs? Do they like toys and if so, what kind?- (balls, chew toys, squeakers?). What treats are they allowed to have and not have? Do they have any current or history of illnesses or injuries i need to know about? Triggers to things or words that excite or frighten them?

A typical day

I have a fenced in yard so play time is easy! We love to throw toys and maybe even learn new tricks or play in the agility equipment! Plenty of time left for snacks and naps, too!

Pet care experience

As a professional dog groomer with over 25 years of experience, my love for dogs runs deep. My new grooming salon, Punky’s Pawlor, opened in June 2024 in Annandale, NJ! I have a profound understanding of dog’s behavior and personalities, which allows me to provide personalized care to every dog that comes my way. In addition to dogs, I have cared for a variety of other animals including horses, cats, birds, and other small pets for over 40 years. I take great pride in my work as a dog groomer, and have become an expert in making dogs look and feel their best. I understand that each dog is unique, and requires different techniques and approaches to achieve the desired result. With my knowledge of dog behavior, body language and personalities, I am able to tailor my approach to ensure that every dog is comfortable and happy. I'm also an experienced photographer and artist so I'll love being sure that you get plenty of adorable shots of your perfect pooch. Beyond grooming, I am well-versed in all aspects of animal care, and take great concern to provide exceptional care to every animal under my responsibility. My love for animals is evident in everything I do, and I am committed to ensuring that every animal in my care is kept healthy, happy, and safe.

Meredith is wonderful with our dog. She is clearly very knowledgeable about animals and dog behavior. We feel very comfortable with her watching her dog. She is reliable, and as a bonus an EXCELLENT photographer!
