Dog lover and avid walker
Pet care experience
I have 16 years of experience caring for dogs from 30+ families plus my own! From raising a 7-week German Shepherd puppy and teaching her basic commands, to taking a neighbor’s Doodle hiking every weekend, I’ve done it all! I genuinely LOVE spending time with dogs and have been missing it since my family’s dog is far away. I’d love to befriend your pup and walk, run, hike, play, cuddle, or anything else! I understand how important training is, so I’ll be happy to reinforce your commands and respect your dog’s rules.
Reviews
Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Smart. Kind. Communicative and experienced.
Meredith did a great job watching my dog. She was very attentive and helped stick with my dog’s routine. She was very communicative and sent pictures through her stay. Would absolutely recommend
Meredith and Bella did really well. At times Bella can be anxious and warmed up to Meredith easily. I was updated with pictures throughout the stay and Meredith was very respectful of my home and maintaining Bella’s schedule including changing her diaper (luckily no accidents) from my senior dog. Absolute peace of mind!
Meredith was awesome. Took care of my senior dog and my home while I was away for work. She sent me photos and updates daily. Trustworthy and conscientious.

Safety, trust & environment
I look forward to learning your family’s dog rules and following them. I am always cautious when entering and exiting homes to avoid unexpected escapes and never let dogs off leash outside of your yard (if it is fenced). I’ll learn your dogs cues about things that can be triggering for them and avoid those situations. I have experience with dogs who pull, are prey driven, and are aggressive and will keep a firm grip on the leash at all times.
Services
Meredith can watch in your home
Availability
I have the flexibility to work from home if your pup needs someone around during the day. I’d love to find someone in need of regular walks or sitting so I can build a relationship and get to know the dog, but I’m also open to one-off walks or care.
