Highlights
Pet care experience
Communicative▪️gentle▪️friendly 🐾
Hello! ** NOTE: I’ve recently relocated from Avondale Estates to Ormewood Park** I am an experienced pet sitter in caring for dogs (of varying sizes and stages of life), cats, snakes, birds, and geckos overnight. As your pet sitter, I take extra care in following your instructions so that the transition for your pet(s) is as smooth, and safe, as possible. This includes being consistent with any established commands/cues and routines, particularly for dogs. I also have experience administering medicine (oral caplets and fluids, as well as subcutaneous fluids). I understand that in addition to feeding, going for walks, and meeting other basic needs, providing a furbaby lots of love and pets is an important part of the job, and I’m here to give those things! I enjoy jogging and would love to take a dog with me if they do, too! If I am staying at your house, I am happy to help with other needs you may have while away, such as watering plants, changing out bird feeders, among others. I take care in monitoring my environment while on walks with dogs. I have experience walking reactive dogs and will be particularly mindful while out with them. For any first time boarding requests, I strongly prefer to do an initial meet-and-greet to make sure our pets are a good fit.

Ratings and reviews
Meredith was the absolute best taking care of our sweet kitty girl, muffin! She followed all instructions to a T, spent time playing with her everyday, and sent the cutest photos (which were so appreciated since I missed her so much). We will go to Meredith any time we need a sitter!
She’s the best!

You're the best. Thank you for taking such good care of the gals!

Schedule
I work full-time, although largely from home, so I will be present with your pet for most of the time during the week (my current “in office days” are Tuesdays and Wednesdays). I go on walks often, so your dog will naturally fit into my routine!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is generally quiet, therefore your pet won’t experience much auditory stimulation that could be distressing (other than an occasional storm). There is active construction across the street at this time, although it has largely transitioned over to interior projects. I will be very mindful to “pet proof” each time I leave them. I will separate fur kiddos as needed, especially when I am not able to supervise them.
Pets
A typical day
I will take your dog(s) for long walks (unless shorter ones are requested) and I will offer them treats to reinforce your commands/cues with them! I have many fetch balls readily available for some backyard fun, too. All toys in the household are welcome to any guests and our dogs are good with sharing them! We also have puzzles for any pups needing a bit more activity time.
