Professional Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
I've been caring for and training dogs professionally for 4 years now. Before that, I was caring for the four-legged family members of friends and neighbors. While I don't pick and chose favorites, I love to work with fearful dogs by helping them come out of their shell and feel more relaxed. I'd love to do the same with your pet(s)!

Megan was wonderful. We were in a bind and could not find any family or friends to watch our dogs. We did a meet and greet with Megan and liked her right away. She was very professional, on time and did what she said! She sent us updates and pictures while we were gone. We will not hesitate to call on Megan again to take care of our dogs. Thank you Megan!
I have worked and trained with Megan since 2017, and have worked with dogs on and off for around 8 years. She is responsible, extremely knowledgeable on most dog-related topics, and prioritizes educating herself further consistently. Of the dozens of trainers I have worked with and/or known personally, Megan is the only one I would ever trust to take care of my dogs. I have seen firsthand how her understanding of canine body language and behavior has allowed for dogs she's worked with to live comfortable, safe, healthy lives--something they otherwise would likely never be able to do given their genetic behavioral issues. That same understanding is why, in my experience, dogs tend to gravitate towards her naturally, and feel comfortable with her. Her bond with her own personal dog, Koda, sums all of this up pretty perfectly. Watch them interact or work together and you can see what a close bond they have between them.
Megan is so good with dogs! I never have felt like I can’t trust that my dog will not be safe in her hands. You can definitely tell she cares for dogs and knows what she is doing. My dog comes back as happy as can be :)
I've known Megan for well over a year now and it's an understatement to say that she is one of the most motivated people I know. She successfully started her own business from her love for animals and smell-bow grease. Sometimes, I'm astounded at how much she can do at once! If I were to leave my pets with anyone it would be Megan.

Information Megan C. would like to know about your pet
A heads up on any special care needs and reactivity/behavioral struggles is always recommended and appreciated. Knowing about any allergies your pet may have is also very important, as I love to offer them lots of treats and fun experiences!
A typical day
My main goal when caring for someone's pets is fulfilling their mental and physical enrichment needs. I love going for hikes, playing, and working on puzzle games with pets to make sure they're not only physically, but mentally happy and fulfilled..
