Safe, reliable, and loving!
Pet care experience
I've had dogs my entire life, including five rescues of my own now! My friends not-so-jokingly refer to me as a "dog magnet": if there's a dog in need within my immediate radius, it's sure to find me and I'm sure to save it. I'm comfortable with medication, walks, playtime, and training. I'm more than happy to send you photos of your pupperino while I'm popping in or taking them for a walk --- I want photos of mine when someone else is caring for them, too! I'm experienced with regular collars, martingale collars, harnesses, and gentle leaders, which are what we personally use with our own zoo. I believe in positive reinforcement in ALL things. Dogs are wired to please us, and so there is very little rewards of some sort (usually treats!) can't accomplish. My own dogs are all basic obedience certified at minimum, and one is AKC CGC certified. Training, play, structure, trust, and love are what dogs need from us, and I am happy to give it! My only hindrance is cats! I'm highly allergic and cannot enter households with kitties, even if the kitties are "put away."
Reviews
Morgan was great and very effective with communication! Very reliable and my dog LOVED her!!
Morgan was great! She was very good at keeping me up to date while i was away. She cleaned up all of roxy’s toys and treated her like her own.
Wonderful family and wonderful stay! Penny loved their dogs and house! We definitely feel comfortable with Penny staying there again :)
Our dog had a fantastic time with Morgan and Mark! It was my first time using Rover and first stay with them and we couldn't be happier. Morgan is home during the day and Mark was at night so Jack had constant companions as well as with their two dogs. Jack got along with them magnificently. Big shaded fenced in yard was the perfect playground for the dogs to romp and play in addition to walks in their neighborhood and runs with Mark as he rode his bicycle. We were given daily notes and pictures. to keep us updated on his visit and they were super about extending his stay a couple of days when we found we needed to. They have two great dogs themselves and their female and Jack became instant best friends and were inseparable. Our dog had a blast and was taken care of like he was one of theirs. I cannot say enough good things about his care!
About Morgan R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Patience, structure, and praise! Dogs look to us for behavioral guidance, and the best way to ensure our fur babies are behaving how we want them is through clear systems of rules and rewards. I am a total leash, escape, and safety geek and will NEVER make a decision that could jeopardize the safety of your dog. I understand the gravity of trusting a stranger with your pets, as I myself have had to do it and been horribly burned. Your dogs are safe with me on walks, in the yard, and in their home.
Information Morgan R. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any quirks? Any favorite toys? Any behavioral triggers? Dietary restrictions that may limit what treats I bring? Let me know! I want our time together to be one they look forward to.
A typical day
There's nothing that pleases a dog more than wallowing on the floor with them while they smother you with love! I'm not afraid to get a little fur (or slobber) on my clothes --- with three dogs of my own, that is my natural state. I also love playing fetch, walking on cool sidewalks, and mini training sessions with lots of treats. Brain work is work that makes a dog tired!

I just graduated with my BA after a career change, and I am totally open as I explore graduate school options for 2022 and seek remote writing jobs from home.
