Megan – Uptown

Hi there! I’m Megan, and I just moved to New York from Los Angeles in August of 2024. I’m both a science nerd and a professional actress — I’ve been balancing the two for years, as I like to keep things interesting! I studied neuroscience at USC undergrad and have a Master’s from John Hopkins in Regulatory Science. In addition to walking precious pups, I’m helping get a digital health startup off the ground. When I’m not busy working or walking pups, you can find me rock climbing and seeing live shows at the theater!

Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was a baby – beginning with two lovely rescue dogs (a Husky mix and a Lab/Shepherd mix) in addition to a continuous train of Labradors, there has always been a dog around in my life! My family also got a little lion of a Tabby cat 8 years ago, which only added a bit of fun to the mix 🙂 I also adopted (and share custody with my former partner) of a precious Cattle Dog mix who, unfortunately, is a little too nervous for life in the Big Apple. I left him with my partner as their city was a bit more suited to his temperament, and so moving to New York has been my first time without a dog around. It feels too strange, and I miss them terribly!

That being said, being around dogs always makes my day 10000% better. I’m the person who will ogle over every dog I see that passes by me, and it makes me so sad that I don’t have one of my own out here. Needless to say, I am beyond excited to get to pamper your pups with attention in the absence of my own 🙂 I understand deeply that our animals are precious to us, and I look forward to helping make their days better while also making your lives easier!
