Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Caring, Trustworthy
Hi, I'm Meredith and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! Your pets’ happiness and well-being are always my top priority. I love spending time with animals—whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have cared for many of my own, so I understand the attention and consistency pets need. After 20 years as a high school English teacher, I have recently stepped into a new season that gives me more flexibility and time to pursue my creative passions and spend more time with my kids, who are with me on the weekends. My 9-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter are bright, energetic, and compassionate animal lovers. (Objectively speaking, their teachers, grandparents, and parents of their friends consistently rave that they are wonderful kids and wonderfully behaved.) I don’t smoke, drink, vape, or do any drugs, and I take every petsitting commitment seriously. Rest assured that your home will be treated with respect and well cared for, and your pets will be treated like family. Also, I am one who loves to cozy up and stay close to your home, giving your furry loved ones TLC as much as possible when I'm there. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to connect! I’m happy to meet virtually or in person if possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pets soon!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the routines and environment your pet already knows and loves. I follow all instructions closely, whether that means administering medications, preparing special meals, sticking to walk schedules, or providing quiet companionship. I aim to create a calm, consistent atmosphere that feels safe and nurturing, so your pet can relax while you're away. Also, I treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’m clean, organized, and attentive to details, and I always communicate clearly throughout the sit to keep you informed and at ease. If my well-behaved, animal-loving children (ages 8 and 11) accompany me, it’s only with prior agreement, and they are gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. Above all, I care for each animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and a genuine commitment to their well-being.
Ratings and reviews
Very thoughtful and dependable
Meredith N. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Meredith is an excellent pet sitter! She's a superb communicator and she treats my baby with so much love and care!
Meredith went above and beyond taking care of my pup while I was on a quick out-of-state trip. She asked good questions before booking, worked out the specific timing of the visits with me up front and provided wonderful pictures to let me know Phoebe was comfortable and enjoying herself during the visits. The real surprise came on the second day when she offered to stay the night with Phoebe because her schedule had opened up. When I got home the following day, I arrived to freshly washed sheets and a very happy doggo. I highly recommend Meredith for any of your petsitting needs!
Meredith watched our dog & cat while we were away. She sent us daily video updates of them & made sure to give our high energy dog his daily exercise and love. We really appreciate all the help she gave us & it’s apparent that she loves animals and is willing to give them the care they need!
Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural, joyful part of my everyday rhythm. As a longtime teacher and mom, I’m used to creating routines that are structured yet flexible, making it easy to adapt to the unique needs of each pet and home. Whether it’s morning walks, medication schedules, mealtime routines, or play and snuggle time, I build my days around ensuring animals feel safe, loved, and cared for. Because I’m in a season of life where I have more flexibility, I’m able to be fully present with the pets I care for and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, consistency, and calm companionship throughout the day. It’s more than just a task in my routine; it’s a grounding and fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy.
