Owner Meg Ryan brings a deep-rooted passion for animals to her work, having grown up in Addison with numerous pets and developed a lifelong connection to horses through riding and farm work. She began her career at North Wayne Stables at age 16, where she learned horse care and developed a love for dressage. After managing a farm and teaching riding lessons, she earned a business degree and worked for 22 years in corporate HR before returning to her roots. Her journey into pet sitting began when she cared for a neighbor’s dog, Aspen, during weekend getaways. Over time, her client list expanded to include cats, birds, rabbits, and farm animals. She now fosters kittens and has adopted a mischievous black cat named Ninja, who opens drawers and cabinets. The name “Second Chance” reflects her belief in giving animals and their families dependable, compassionate care during transitions.
