I prefer and am happy to commute to the client’s home to care for dogs there. :) Whether it be a quick potty break or a walk and feeding time, 30 min- hour visit, please let me know!

Information Meredith S. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have anxiety or any special dietary restrictions/specific schedule? Please let me know ahead of time so I can enhance your dog’s care experience.

A typical day

The visit varies based upon the individual dogs/family needs. I enjoy walks with my own dogs or running around in the pet’s yard. Belly rubs and pets are endless haha.

I'm a social worker & animal lover

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my whole life! Golden Retrievers in particular, but I love all dogs, average size or small! When I dog sit, I take care of each dog as if it were my own. Your dog care would include walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, play-time, or anything else your dog may require. Most importantly, they would get a lot of love and attention while their owner is away. My family has a small 10 lb. 8 year old Terrier Mix rescue & a 2 year old rescue Labradoodle. I care for and dog sit for them often while my parents are out of town and commute to the house. I have a lot of experience taking care of family/friends dogs while they are away. Goldens, Labs, Doodles, Scottish Terriers, Beagles, Greyhounds! I have also taken care of a few older dogs from time to time who needed insulin shots. I am a dog enthusiast. If one's dog needs and my schedule is in-sync/allows, I would love to help! :) I am happy to do drop-in visits, throughout the day/evening as needed. If your dog requires more time, please inquire within and I am sure we can arrange a suitable schedule. I do prefer to drive to the dog's house, as my philosophy is that a dog tends to be more comfortable and their natural self in their own, familiar environment and home.

Meredith is one of those rare people that really cares and relates to your pet. With so much patience and kindness our quirky Tater Bug (with a pretty rough rescue past) was in love! Every picture was a happy tail wagging boy with Meredith playing. ball with him on beautiful days. Our sincerest thanks and praise for a dog sitter with a heart if pure gold.

Meredith was great! She had excellent communication with me, she was reliable/timely and my dog loved her! I will definitely use her again when the need arises.

Meredith was very easy to communicate with and very sweet and kind. She took our frenchies on daily walks while we were away. Our puppies like her very much. I would highly recommend Meredith

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
