Fostered 60 dogs- can book for jogs
For eight years, I volunteered with the Wake County Animal Center in Raleigh, NC, where I fostered 60 dogs—from newborn puppies to senior dogs and every age and personality in between. While I’m not a certified dog trainer, I’ve worked with pups who had anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, medical needs, and even deafness (I taught one dog 15 different signs!). I’ve handled recovery care after surgery, heartworm treatment, skin and eye issues, potty training, and medication routines that required attention multiple times a day. I feel confident and comfortable with any dog—big or small, shy or hyper, special needs or seniors. I haven’t had to give injectable medication before, but I’m completely comfortable learning and have no hesitation.

meg was so gracious to drop in on our senior pup twice in one day while we were taking a day trip. we came home to a happy pup!!!
We just LOVE Megan! You will not find someone more attentive to your pet’s needs! Her communication while we are away gives us total peace of mind so we can completely enjoy our vacation. She loves on our pets with her whole heart and she leaves our home immaculate - washed linens and vacuumed the day she left (beyond what we would expect). Thanks so much for another great experience, Megan!!
Megan was so wonderful with my pups and made them feel comfortable right away!
Meg went above and beyond caring for both our pups! From the moment she met them she was intentional and thoughtful - listening to their body language, tuning into to their silly quirks, and loving on them as if they were her own! We felt so comforted while we were away, knowing that our little ones were in her care. June and Logan can’t wait to see Meg next, and she’s easily the first person we’ll call!
Megan is such a great pet sitter! She keeps track of all of the details and is so committed and thoughtful! When she pet sat for us, she went above and beyond, spending extra time with our fur kids and she was so respectful of our space. We feel so lucky that we found her!
Megan is an absolute doll and my dog Charlie LOVES her! He has definitely made a new friend. She sent several updates with pics and videos each day and treated Charlie as if he were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and compassionate pet-sitter. Will definitely use her services in the future!

My schedule is fairly flexible and I’m often able to adjust my hours around your pet’s needs, especially for extended stays or regular drop-ins/walks. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my day—it’s a huge part of what makes me feel grounded, happy, and fulfilled. I haven’t fostered since moving to Asheville, and working with dogs again is a way I’m reconnecting with that part of myself.

Sicherheit, Vertrauen & Umgebung
I share custody of three senior dogs—now 14, 13, and 12—and they’ve been with me most of their lives. My 13-year-old tripod, a boxer-hound mix, lives with me full-time and is my best friend. Because of him, I’m especially tuned into the needs of older or special-needs pets. At home, I live in an apartment with three private dog parks on the property. They’re usually empty, which gives us a safe place to play, run, or just sniff around. For boarding, your dog will need to meet mine first to ensure everyone vibes well together. In your home, I always do a meet & greet beforehand to get to know your pet and their environment, plus give you a chance to get to know me. Through my years of volunteering at a busy municipal shelter, I’ve developed a strong ability to read dog body language—whether that means giving space to a nervous dog, redirecting rough play, or stepping in safely if a situation escalates. I also know how to interrupt and break up dog fights safely, though I do everything possible to prevent them from happening in the first place! Your pet’s comfort and safety, and mine, are my top priorities- wherever we are.

Whether your dog loves adventure or couch cuddles, I’ve got them covered! For high-energy pups, I offer walks AND even runs or hikes—I’m a marathoner (6 halfs, 8 10Ks, and one full I will never do again!) and I love hitting Asheville’s trails with a four-legged (or less) companion. For the snuggle bugs, I’m equally happy curling up on the couch for a true crime binge and some solid belly rubs and ear scratches. I’m also a hobby photographer, so you’ll get tons of great photos during your pet’s stay. I’ve been known to take 50 shots just to get that perfect portrait to send to their humans.
