About us

person Megan

If my friends were to describe me, the first thing they'd probably mention is that Ron is my fur-child. Then they'd mention that I'm a reader, runner, and a "yarn stabber" (I knit and crochet).

Review

Pax and Ron were such sweet dogs to take care of. They were pretty laid back most of the time except for when they were running about in the snow in the yard. The house and accommodations were comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. Megan's communication was clear and responsive. Things in the house were labeled and organized for efficiency. This was a great sit.
