Information Meredith S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's any behaviors or special needs that your dog has so i can help to make our time more comfortable for him/her!

A typical day

Fun activities I will do with your pet! 1.I will have playtime with them: Dogs love to play, and it's a great way to expend their energy. Use toys like balls, tug ropes, or interactive toys. Play fetch or engage in tug-of-war. I will make sure the activities match the dog's energy level and physical condition. 2. Walks and Exercise: Regular walks are essential for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I will take the dog for walks in different environments, allowing them to explore and experience new smells. Play fetch or run around in a secure area if the dog enjoys more active exercise. 3. Tug-of-War: Many dogs enjoy a good game of tug-of-war. I will use a sturdy rope toy and let the dog engage in a friendly tugging match. I will always be mindful of the dog's size and strength to ensure a safe play experience. 4.Cuddling and Affection: Dogs also need downtime and affection. Spend some quality time petting, cuddling, or simply being in the same room with the dog. This helps build a bond and provides comfort. I will Remember, each dog is unique, so it's important to observe their preferences and energy levels. Be attentive to their cues and adjust activities accordingly. Always prioritize the dog's safety and well-being while engaging in any stimulating activities.

Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!

Meredith has been watching my dog for 15 years ! Meredith absolutely loves our dog Beni and goes above and beyond for him. I would definitely recommend her for all your fur babies needs. She also gave my dog medicine and ear drops while I was away ! Very responsible and you won’t be disappointed! Meredith also sends me daily pictures of my dog that makes it being away a little easier!

Meredith is a trustful person who loves dogs. She has two of her own that she considers as her babies. Definitely a reliable person to trust with your fur babies.
