I have lived with dogs my entire adult life. I currently share my life with a beautiful sighthound that is the love of my life. I have trained dogs at shelters to help them get furever homes so I am very dedicated to dogs living the best life possible. I love to walk and hike and no walk is complete without a happy dog by my side. I can't wait to meet your dog and start a great adventure.

“I never met a dog I didn't like!”
Hi, I'm Megan! I've loved dogs all my life and I learned about how to responsibly care for them from my aunt, who has been adopting dogs for decades which allowed me to learn about a variety of dog behaviors and breeds. I always put safety first and make sure to respect the dogs and their owners, staying focused while on walks and asking permission about anything not explicitly addressed by the owner.

Dogs who pull, Fast walker
I have experience walking friends’ high energy dogs on hikes and they absolutely love it. Their owners are pleased when their dogs are joyous after getting energy out and I make sure to ALWAYS bring water and a bowl for the pups. I love dogs of all sizes and will determine the optimal level of difficulty for the pups so they will not be too fatigued. I am experienced walking dogs nearing 100 lbs and of great strength so I should have no issue with any sizes. Thank you in advance! All the best.
