Pet care experience
Your pup’s dream team
Hi, we’re Paul and Megan, a married couple passionate about dogs! With over 20 years of combined experience as dog owners and caretakers, we’re here to give your pup all the love and care they deserve. Since we don’t currently have a dog of our own, your pup will have our undivided attention during their stay. About Paul Dogs have been part of my life since 2008, and Megan lovingly calls me the “dog whisperer” for my knack for instantly connecting with dogs. I understand their quirks and behaviors, and I’ve yet to meet a pup I didn’t love! About Megan Before working in higher education, I spent the first part of my career in animal welfare and veterinary medicine. From animal sheltering to veterinary reception, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m trained in basic dog health, including triaging medical concerns, and I’m comfortable administering medications—oral, topical, ocular, and even injectables. Our Experience Since 2011, we’ve been dogsitting together, caring for a wide variety of pups, from tiny chihuahuas to majestic greyhounds. We’re experienced with geriatric dogs with medical needs and are comfortable handling behavioral challenges like leash reactivity/aggression and separation anxiety.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Paul and Megan are the absolute best. Our dear Melody loved staying with them for 4 nights. It was her first sleepover with any sitter but she adjusted so well. Paul and Megan are very punctual on providing updates and pictures during the stay. They followed all the instructions around, feeding and grooming, caring for her like their own dog. While we were away I had full peace of mind knowing Melody was enjoying her own vacation! Looking forward to many more stays with this lovely family.
This family is the best. They take care of my dog like family. I don’t worry or stress when I am away and he is with them. Lovely people - highly recommend.
Paul and Megan were absolutely wonderful with my dog Gus. As an anxious rescue dog, he can be hesitant in new situations and around new people, but they showed so much patience, kindness, and understanding that he quickly seemed to feel at ease with them. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would highly recommend them to anyone!
This family was amazing with my dog. I didn’t worry about him because I knew he was in good hands. They sent updates and my dog loves them after 1 stay.
Paul and Megan were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gus. He’s an anxious dog who can take time to warm up to new people, but they showed him so much patience, kindness, and understanding. It was clear they genuinely cared about making him feel safe and comfortable, and seeing how relaxed and happy he was with them meant so much to me. Leaving an anxious dog in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Paul and Megan made it easy to trust that he was in great hands. I’m incredibly grateful for the care they gave him and would highly recommend them.
We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Important Things to Know About Us - We have a five-year-old son, so we prioritize dogs who are good with young kids. Unfortunately, we can’t accommodate dogs with resource guarding or food aggression. And we will always want to do a meet and greet at least 24 hours before a stay so your pup can meet our child. - We live in a four-story townhouse (lots of stairs). If your pup has mobility issues and can’t be carried, our home might not be ideal. - We can’t board large dogs as our HOA has a height-at-the-shoulder limit.
A typical day
We’ll explore the quiet, woodsy grounds here in our condo complex where there are plenty of other small to midsize dogs to say hello to if they so wish. And inside our home there will be as much playtime and snuggle time as they need!
