Pet care experience
Loving Pet Care & Flexible Schedule
I have spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I truly understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. I have experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and breeds, from doodles and retrievers to German Shepherds and more independent or high-energy dogs. As a very active person, I enjoy providing dogs with plenty of exercise, walks, outdoor time, and engagement tailored to their individual needs. I am also comfortable reinforcing structure and good leash manners during walks when requested.

Meridian also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Meridian was so great! She sent me multiple photos and videos of my Tommy daily and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. Will definitely be using her again!
My dog was in great hands with Meridian, and received lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend.
I don’t usually leave reviews, so me doing so means the experience was above and beyond. From the pictures and videos I received to the communication during the stay, I was blown away and recommend Meridian to anyone who needs a pet vacation. She was tremendous and every picture or video I received my dog looked happy as could be. 5 stars all day long. You will not be disappointed one bit. Thank you Meridian!!!!

Schedule
I currently work a flexible job in downtown St. Petersburg, which allows me to have a consistent schedule for walks, check-ins, playtime, and attentive care throughout the day. I typically start my mornings early and structure my routine around providing reliable, timely care for pets. I am also conveniently located between St. Petersburg and Tampa, making travel to clients easy and flexible.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for all pets with patience, attentiveness, and a high level of empathy. I understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, so I always tailor my approach to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I strive to create a calm, clean, and positive environment while maintaining clear communication and dependable care. I also prioritize clear communication and regular photo updates so owners feel comfortable and connected while away.
A typical day
I enjoy keeping dogs active through walks, outdoor time, play, and enrichment tailored to their individual energy level and personality. If your dog enjoys running or longer walks, I am happy to provide that when weather permits. I also understand that some pets prefer a slower-paced routine, and I am always happy to accommodate their comfort and needs accordingly.
