Megan – Uptown

My name is Megan, and I’m a recent transplant to NYC. I’m originally from California (the Sacramento area), but I moved here to the city not long ago in order to pursue “greater things” and be closer to my partner. So far it’s been a big change from the California world, but I am loving it here! And, one thing that’s always stayed the same no matter where I go is my love for dogs and all furry friends 🙂

Dogs have always been one of my favorite animals, and since I was a kid they’ve always been a large part of my family. As an adult, I’ve come to learn dogs a lot better and how to properly care for them outside of just being a kid with a family dog around to pet. Outside of my own pups, I’ve also helped out many friends/neighbors by caring for their furry family members, too 🙂

Beyond my family and friends’ pups, I also gained a good amount of professional experience in the animal field. Some of my experience includes working in an animal shelter for dogs and cats of all ages and abilities, dog walking/sitting via apps like Rover, working in an animal hospital (and even gaining some medical experience caring for dogs and other animals), and I even spent a short period working in a doggy daycare, which was beautifully chaotic! Across the board, I’ve come to really understand dogs, their behaviors, what makes them tick, and how to truly care for and nourish our furry friends — because they’re not just pets, they’re family!

I do my best in all my interactions with dogs to better my understanding of them, because every dog is unique and they deserve to be treated as such: with respect, dignity and love. Our dogs are our family, and that genuine connection you feel with your dog is truly unlike any other connection in the world. This is why I’m so excited to be a part of the RuffCity team, and I can’t wait to befriend your furry friends!
