Hello! My name is Megan and I am 22 years old. I have two beautiful family dogs named Harley and Bilbo. I have just finished my BSc (hons) Animal Management and Science degree and have moved back to Nottingham after living in York for the past 3 years. My other qualification if a level 3 in Animal Management where i spent 2 years learning about animal husbandry for a range of exotic and domestic pets. In addition, this allowed me to gain experience with walking and handling different sizes and breeds of dog. If you choose me to care for your pet it will be showered with love and attention or given the space it needs if it prefers a quieter environment. Your pets needs will be my top priority!
I live in gedling and have a strong preference on taking bookings around this area as I do not drive so I will be walking to your house. However, my mum does drive and has taken me to bookings further afield so those bookings will also be highly considered.
What I offer during a walk: If your dog likes to play with toys during the walk I will play and give them as much exercise as they need. The dog will be taken to temperament appropriate areas such as if the dog is social with other dogs then I will take it to a dog friendly area. If the dog is not social then I will take it to an area where there are less dogs to reduce the animals stress. Minimum of 30 minutes.
What I offer during a visit: Play time! I will play with your pet as much as it needs or give them a cuddle if they need some comfort. I will feed, let them outside to go to the toilet, provide oral medication if needed and if the owner would like I can help with command training such as sit and lay down. If there is any animal mess inside of the house then it will be cleared up promptly. If there are other pets such as reptiles, small mammals, etc. Then they will be cared for too such as feeding, general behaviour checks and cage cleaning if needed. If any special requirements are needed that I am capable to do then I will make sure it is done. Home visits are a minimum of 30 minutes.
While walking and home visits I will send the owner photographs of their adorable pets to show that they are okay and having a good time. I can offer health and behavioural checks and if I notice anything that may need to be checked by a vet then the owner will be informed straight away. Both home visits and dog walks are available on mornings and afternoons.
Experienced with:
Dogs, cats, small/medium rodents, rabbits, exotic pets (including snakes, lizards, fish, etc), large mammals (such as goats).
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
We had Megan look after our cats for a week and they seemed happy on our return. We had daily updates on how they were which was reassuring. We would have Megan look after them again.
Megan looked after our cats over the weekend and kept us informed on how they were/how the visits went. We returned to happy cats and felt happy knowing they were being well cared for.
