Booked by 1 family in Doylestown, PA
Being around animals brings me joy, and having the opportunity to take care of your dog, cat or other pet is something that I truly love. I'll take care of your fur baby as if it's my own, and I'll do everything possible to make sure that their time with me is super enjoyable! I'm experienced with both puppies, kittens and senior cats and dogs. I've given pets their insulin injection, and I'm able to give even the most stubborn pet their oral medication. In my spare time I enjoy biking, swimming and strength training.

Hi! My name is Meg and I am an artist living in the Mount Airy area. I just graduated from the University of the Arts with a concentration in Printmaking and Textiles. I am here to offer childcare, pet care, and house care services. I have a lot of experience working with and taking care of children, including toddlers and infants. I have been babysitting since I was 15, but I am also an older sister, and an older cousin to some amazing kids! I am ALSO an art teacher to kids ages 7-12 years old!
