I love dogs & I work from home!
Pet care experience
We welcome dogs into our home who get along with children and other dogs and who are housetrained. We understand that the occasional accident can happen and that's okay. If your dog habitually goes to the bathroom inside the house or their crate, we cannot take them. I've been around dogs since age 8 and I've owned my own dogs for 12 years. I have 2 medium labradoodles that are super friendly and would love to host other dogs at our home. I have experience with puppy training and senior dog care. Your dog will be welcomed into our family during their stay and they will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise). We are crate-free unless your dog needs to be crated for any reason that you specify. Your dog will feel right at home with us while you are away. I know first-hand what it's like to worry about my dogs while I'm away from them and I'm happy to send you updates and pictures of your pet while you're gone.
Reviews
Meredith and the family were fantastic with our Bella! We will definitely revisit them. Thank you so much!!
Meredith and her family was wonderful with caring for our dog for the week we were away. She provided regular updates and photos of our dog playing which helped us see how well he was doing under her care and in her home . Our dog seemed to be very comfortable and seemed to be enjoying interacting with Merediths dogs and her family. I would highly recommend Meredith to others. Thanks for taking such good care of our dog ( Bruno) !!
Leia had a good time with Meredith and her family of 2 dogs and 2 young kids. She played a lot with her dogs and has come back happy. She kept me updated regularly and in all the pictures Leia looked happy and cared for. Leia is a bit finicky with her food right now but Meredith did what was needed to make her eat. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. Thanks Meredith.

We have an invisible fence in our yard for our two dogs. I will happily take guest dogs out on a leash and walk them for extra exercise. They will have run of the house (unless you prefer otherwise) and will be welcomed into our family during their stay. Your pet will also have the companionship of our two dogs that have passed temperament tests at multiple dog daycares in the area. We have 2 children: ages 4 and 8. Your dog must be comfortable with young children.

Information Meredith S. would like to know about your pet
Is there is anything you'd like for me to know about your pet before we meet? Do they require medication? Do they have specific fears or behaviors I should be aware of?
A typical day
We will go on walks around the neighborhood and through walking paths. We will play with our two dogs. We will play games with treats and training. We will have lots of cuddle time too!

I am a stay-at-home parent who works part-time from home. I will be here with your pet the entire time with only short errands away from the home.
