Behind Paws & Talk
Megan has cared for and worked with animals since 2001 and began pet sitting professionally in 2018. She's a military spouse, mom of a college sophomore, and pet mom. In her early life, before traveling as a military spouse, she was an assistant veterinary technician.
Megan specializes in cat care, special needs, neonatal, and senior care. If you were wondering about the talk aspect of the business name, it's inspired entirely by her and a love for talking, reading, and even singing to pets to help ease their stress.
You may see two other faces along the way. Megan's husband, Colin, who is in the Air Force, has a gift with fearful dogs and assists with the animals and home care. He has done his fair share of storm prep and cleanup over the years.
Their daughter, Alanna, is extraordinary with shy cats and is currently attending Clemson, working toward a degree in Biology to become an animal behaviorist. While Alanna is less often seen these days, her assistance, when available, is always welcomed by the animals being cared for.
How We Got Started
Paws & Talk is a dedicated pet care business located in Trenton, South Carolina, proudly owned and operated by Megan and her family. Inspired by the encouragement of pet guardians she previously helped, Megan officially launched Paws & Talk in Maryland in 2018. As a military family, they later relocated to South Carolina, where they continue to provide loving and reliable pet care services to the community.
The Mission
The mission of Paws & Talk is to provide custom and personalized care to pets within the safety of their homes to minimize their stress, create safe spaces, and provide their humans with peace of mind when they're away.
Inspirations Along the Way
Paws & Talk was inspired by our special needs cat and senior dog, who struggled with the stress of boarding and care outside the comfort of their home. Their experiences, along with encouragement from fellow pet owners, inspired us to create a service tailored to help guardians dealing with similar challenges while traveling or working.
We understand the unique needs of pets like ours and are dedicated to ensuring their well-being and peace of mind. Along our journey, we've met many inspiring pets and guardians, each teaching us the importance of customizing our care to meet the individual needs of every pet we serve.
