Morgan took on a huge responsibility when she agreed to watch my dog and my puppy for 10 days in my house. She was awesome! My dogs were well cared for, and Morgan was very good about sending me updates and pictures. When I came home, I had two happy dogs, and I am so thankful for it!

About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.

Aria took diligent care of our pup Ellie while we were both away on work trips. When Ellie wasn't feeling well Aria kept me up to date the whole time, which made me feel comfortable in what could otherwise be a very concerning situation. She even gave Ellie a bath when she rolled around in the mud! Thanks Aria for all your help 🙏

About: I've always loved animals of every kind. Growing up we've owned everything from rats, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, ferrets, and even a fox. For years, Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, because they know I'll take care of them as if they were my own. I'm currently available for late afternoons on Friday's and available on weekends. Message me if you have any questions. My children love meeting new puppies and being able to help take care of them. We have a fully fenced in half acre of backyard for the doggies to play in. I have three friendly dogs that are open to anything. Cooper is our bluetick coonhound, Piper is our Husky mix, and Audrey Shepburn is our white German shepherd. We also have three children ages 4, 9, and 13.
