About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 4 years training dogs and fostering for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, we've got you covered! I currently work full time remotely from home. My husband is home during the week and gone several weekends, but when we are in town we both love to take the pups on rides in the car (if they enjoy it). We love to get out and walk or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 4+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.
About: 👋🏼 Hi!! My name is Morgan W. 👋🏼 I want to first start out saying that animals are my life, without my fur babies I do not know how I would survive this crazy life! I recently lost my best friend, daughter and fur baby, my sweet Gracie. She was a 150 pound Great Dane and was mamas BIG baby. I have been struggling really hard with the loss of her and was scrolling on Facebook and saw an ad for Rover and thought... “ This is what I would love to do, I need this”. With all that being said, I’m so happy I found a place where I can share my love for dogs while helping out fellow pet owners! This is just a little of my story, here is a little bit more about me and few of my morals, qualities and experience⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ * I am currently working at a retail department store working about 30-36 hours a week so I am not available 24/7.. BUT I work a lot of day shifts and am available during the afternoon/night, have a few off days a week and can use my breaks to do a quick walk or “check-in”! I can work around my schedule really well! * I am 23 years old and graduated from Cullman High School. I also went to Wallace State Community College for three years. * I have two puppy dogs of my own named: Spencer and Atka🐶 ‼️ I have one year of experience as being a kennel technician at a dog lodging facility‼️During that time I: - administered medication to dogs of all ages and breeds. - Worked with dogs whom had social anxiety, separation anxiety, seizures, elder dogs, and dogs with temperament issues. * One thing I am huge on is being organized and sticking to a schedule, it just makes things way easier! * I also have over 5 years of personal dog experience ranging from the ages of 2 months old- senior age. * I love ALL dog breeds. No exceptions. * I have basic knowledge on training and can teach your fur babies basic skills! * I also can bathe and trim your fur babies nails! ‼️A few things to note‼️ - I do have dogs at my home so your fur baby will need to be okay with other dogs. - Please let me know if your fur baby likes to be alone while eating a treat or eating food so that my dogs do not disturb them while they eat. - I also prefer that dogs be up to date with vaccinations just because I do not want my dogs getting sick. Please let me know if they aren’t. - If your dog has any special needs that is perfectly fine just let me know if there are any things I need to do different to accommodate your fur baby, and I will gladly do so! ✨What I Offer ✨ * Dog sitting at your home! * Boarding at my home which includes: a fenced in area for your dogs to play, a comfy bed, healthy dog treats, tons of cuddles and daily dog walks. Add on a bath and a nail trim for just an extra $20!!

Book with me and your pets may not want to come home 🤩🤩 🛑Safety is a guarantee with me 🛑 * I will make sure I take all precautions with your fur baby while out and about! * I will only walk your dog(s) In my neighborhood, which has little traffic. * I will supply a harness for walks if needed. 🐾I cannot wait to meet your sweet fur baby🐾 I do work 30-36 hours a week but my boyfriend and I work together as a team. So between the both of us, we have pretty good availability. 🅐🅣 🅜🅨 🅗🅞🅜🅔: The dogs I care for in my home are treated just like my dogs! They will get supervised outdoor time in our little fenced in area. Fence is a temporary fence until we can get one built. It is 40 inches tall. Dogs will never be let out alone. I walk the dogs at least 3 times a day. They can do as please in my home, no dog will ever be confined to a crate or a room unless I am not at home. Your dog will never be crated longer than 3 hours without a potty break. The only time I crate them is when I and my boyfriend both are at work, which is not often. They will have their own dog bed or can sleep wherever they prefer: our couch or in our bed with us 🅘🅝 🅨🅞🅤🅡 🅗🅞🅜🅔 : In your home I will follow all of your guidelines to ensure I meet your and your dogs safety needs.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and aging senior pets, I bring patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I’ve administered medications, handled special dietary needs, and trained basic commands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment while you’re away, so your pets feel calm, happy, and well-cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring consistent routines and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or managing health needs, I’m here to help your pet thrive. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play sessions. Whether I’m working remotely or running errands, I make sure pets receive consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m flexible and can easily adjust my schedule to meet the specific needs of each pet, including early mornings, evenings, or multiple check-ins per day. I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment free from hazards. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s administering medication, monitoring food intake, or reinforcing training. I build trust through gentle, consistent interaction, always respecting each pet’s personality and boundaries. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Central. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Central after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
