What Pet Owners Are Saying
Thoughtful communication, detailed updates, and calm in-home care are some of the reasons many clients continue booking with Megan’s Pet Sitting.
“When our kitty Pasha got a new scary epilepsy diagnosis we were afraid to leave him for any length of time. Megan took fantastic care of Pasha during our vacation! She made sure he took his twice daily medication, and her updates allowed us to have fun and know he was in the best of hands. She was also flexible when our flight got delayed. Thank you so much!❤️”

Epileptic Cat Care“Megan is the best. I am a veterinarian and particular about how my kiddos are treated, and I have total confidence in her care. She's responsible, sends great photo updates, and my cats adore her. Zero worries when she's on duty!”

Cat Sitting Visits“I have used Megan's Pet Services since I've moved to Charlottesville. I have a senior golden, Ariel. Megan is so good with her. She sits with her, takes her for walks and when the redhead is being stubborn, even reads to her. Ariel loves Megan and I wouldn't use anyone else for Ariel or any future senior pups. You won't be disappointed if you use Megan's Pet Services.

Senior Dog Care“When your dogs greet your pet sitter like she is their favorite person after not having seen her for almost a year, you know she left an indelible impression on them! Megan is a gem and always goes above and beyond to make sure your instructions are followed to perfection. She cares for all of the living creatures at our home both domestic and wild! She shares daily updates and pictures and we have complete peace of mind knowing all is well while we are away. If there was a way to give her 10 stars we would!”

Small Dog Sitting & Backyard Chicken Care“Megan watched our 13-year-old cat, Kitteran (Kitty), this past week and we couldn't be happier! Kitty needs to get an inhaler twice a day for his asthma, so really it's important that he vibes with his sitter so that he's amicable to doing his inhaler. He took to Megan right away and was very comfortable with her! Megan sent tons of photos and videos of him during her visits, which was a really nice touch. It was so great to see him happy and playing! We'll definitely have Megan visit again during future vacations. Thanks so much!

Asthmatic Kitty Care“Megan recently took care of my senior cat for multiple days, and she did a fantastic job. She was very thorough in getting background information about him beforehand so she could make sure he was happy and comfortable while we were away. She sent regular updates, including photos, during her visits. Megan was reliable, professional and very caring with the cat. I would highly recommend Megan for pet sitting and will definitely utilize her services again.
Lisa C.
Senior Cat Sitting“What a wonderful experience with Megan’s Pet Sitting! I have a very old female cat that needs medicine twice a day. Megan put her on her schedule two times a day and sent me a note each time, and photos, telling me how they had passed the time, how the cat was eating , and how they had related to each other. I felt she was in good “hands.” I highly recommend this lovely “cat person.” 😊. Megan will come again next month for another few days of care while we are gone!”
Carrie D.
Senior Medicated Cat Sitting“Megan took wonderful care of our special needs dog. We were concerned about leaving him with a sitter, but Megan spent time with us to review our dog's care schedule ahead of time, and then sent regular updates and great pictures during her visits, all of which set us at ease. Megan is very reliable, attentive, and caring - she even did extra visits with our dog to make sure he was ok. And she saved a turtle that was walking across the road while she was out walking with our dog - she really loves animals❤️!”

Posted on Google Felise RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan is 100% the best pet sitter i have ever had. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and never had anyone as thoughtful and caring..above and beyond. She set a whole new standard from the moment we met her and our cat immediately loved her. (Our pets usually have the best judgment on the people they choose). I highly recommend Megan, and sincerely feel really lucky to finally have found someone I trust.Posted on Google Evan WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan has cared for our 2 cats on numerous occasions recently and we are grateful to have found a pet sitter as great as her. She provides photos and videos daily to update us on how they are doing and gives them lots of love and attention in our absence. Typically, our cats are skidish and reluctant to warm to strangers but took to Megan immediately. It has been an immense relief knowing our cats are well cared for when we travel now!Posted on Google Hannah FritchmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you so much! ❤️Posted on Google A. B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I apologize for writing a little novel, but I very highly recommend Megan’s Pet Sitting and I want to make clear why. This was our first time hiring a sitter for our cat and we could not be happier with how Megan looked after her this past week. First, Megan is very organized. She responded to emails promptly and helped us to work out a functional schedule for her visits. She then set up a “first meeting” so that she could meet our cat and learn more about our her routine. During that preliminary meeting, Megan made careful notes about our cat's feedings, favorite toys, litter boxes, and personality quirks, etc., and afterward she drew her notes up into a “care plan” that documented what she expected to do, when, and how. As a result, you’ll feel sure before you even leave that Megan has a solid grasp on the necessary details. Second, Megan is trustworthy and reliable. She showed up when she said she would and she stayed the amount of time that we agreed upon. Each time she stopped by, she’d “clock in” with video/pictures of our cat, as well as a brief comment on how the cat was doing. This meant that we could see her doing what she had agreed to do. Furthermore, because Megan is so communicative, you can easily ask her to do something small if it occurs to you in the middle of the week—like, say, checking the second litter box that you forgot to mention because the cat uses it maybe once a month. You can be sure that she’ll be timely, consistent, and responsive. Third, Megan is great with animals. One of the benefits of her “video updates” each day—besides seeing our cat happy and healthy—was that we could see how gentle, considerate, and kind Megan was with her. Our cat isn’t shy exactly, but she doesn’t meet new people very often and I was afraid that she wouldn’t give Megan much of a chance. Megan, however, was able to reassure her very quickly and within a day our cat was flopping on her side for pets. Megan is also good at coming up with entertainment; she got creative with combining toys to keep our cat stimulated for her hour of person-time each day. I’m sure that if anyone can befriend your pet on short notice, it’s her. In short: I can’t recommend Megan highly enough as a pet sitter. She’s organized, reliable, and great at winning a pet’s affection. We definitely plan to hire her again. Thank you for all of your help, Megan!

I was very pleased with the care that my cat received from Megan. My cat tends to be shy but curious and when Megan sent me photos of my kitty sitting on her lap, I knew she had a special touch. She asked me about my cat's preferences and routine and paid attention to the details. She put in a little extra time with her and sent photos of them playing, cuddling, and getting sips from the faucet. I felt completely comfortable having Megan take care of her twice now and intend to reach out to her in the future. Thank you, Megan!Posted on Google Megan McClintockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would recommend to anyone looking for a petsitter in the charlottesville area!Posted on Google Tracy OyugiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t be more pleased by how well my cats were taken care of while I was away during the holidays. Megan is so detail oriented and thorough; from the moment she met the cats to the daily updates she provided, I felt at peace when I was away!Posted on Google Sarah BodinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan has been so thorough in planning to care for my cats, excellent communication, and updates during the job. I have appreciated the updates and reliability so much! I’ll be using her service again! Thanks Megan!Posted on Google MelissaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Megan is the best.

I am so thankful that we were lucky enough to have Megan take care of our cat while we were away. She paid so much attention to detail and our cat fell in love with her pretty much the first time they met. I felt all the more comfortable with leaving our cat when receiving updates and pictures from Megan during each visit. I’d used pet boarding services for several pets in the past, but after experiencing the service that Megan provides, they won’t be seeing much more of our little girl anymore. We will definitely be working with Megan in the future! Could not recommend her enough.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
