  • “Meg was great with my dogs. I have two large dogs, one of which is reactive. She made me feel comfortable that the dogs were well cared for. Usually when I get home from a trip, the dogs have some extra energy. This time the dogs were tired and well behaved because Meg made sure to take them on good long walks while we were gone.”

  • “Meg was easy and great to work with! I received many pictures of my pup over the weekend and I could tell she was having the best time. I will for sure use Meg’s services in the future!“

  • “Meg is the best dog sitter I’ve ever met!! She is wonderful with my dog Teddy! It was my first time leaving him for a long period of time (2 weeks) and I was super nervous, especially because right before we left he got a hotspot on his face. Meg was super diligent with his medication and you can tell she really cared for him which helped me feel at ease and enjoy my vacation :) She sent daily updates and even took the time to go out and buy Teddy more dog food when he was running out. She is super accommodating and truly a dog lover! Would highly recommend her for any of your dogs needs! Just wonderful”

  • “Our boy, Benny, had a great time with Meg. We had lots of videos and photos of his adventures and he now has a new favorite toy that she gave him for Christmas! She’s super and understands dogs - he came back fit and relaxed and he can’t wait for us to take another trip so he can go back! Many thanks!”

  • Meg was incredible with our dog, Bonnie. She provided frequent updates so we knew how well Bonnie was doing and was great at communications in general. Bonnie didn’t want to leave! Would definitely use Meg again!
