Stay at home dog (and toddler) mom

Pet care experience

I recently started working very part time to be home with my toddler, so my fur baby, Bodhi, and I have plenty of time and space to take care of your doggos! We'd love to have them join us for walks around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, and games of fetch in nearby parks. I've had dogs as long as I can remember, they're my favorite people. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, and my Shih Tzu gets along with all of them! Before working from home, I used the services of dog-walkers and day care providers, so I understand how important is it to find someone who you can trust and rely on. I've been lucky to find great help, and am excited to now be able to provide the same type of attentive care for your pets!

Meredith is a wonderful pet sitter. She is sweet and loving, and has made us feel at ease about leaving our young puppy with her! She is flexible and understanding, and is happy to provide updates and photos. She also comes with the added bonus of Bodhi, who is adorable and the perfect doggy friend for my pup!

Meredith was great with my dog Coa! She took her on lots of long walks, sent lots of photos, and was really good with her when Coa got anxious. I will definitely have her watch my pup again! Thanks Meredith!

Meredith is amazing with dogs. She is the right combination of love and affection and a little discipline when needed. She is mature and dependable. I always know I can count on her to be on time and I trust her completely with my little shih tzu, Charlie and Maltese, Lucy. She’s also fit and great about exercising the dogs.

I mainly just need to know how your dog is with other dogs (mine is small, but I have big dog neighbors upstairs that we encounter in the yard). I also need to make sure they’ll be ok with my toddler.
