About: My husband Uriah and I have been big animal lovers our entire lives. We absolutely have a weak spot for dogs and have over 15 years combined experience caring for them. We have no pets of our own so we really love to fill our free time helping others with their pet pals, while allowing our hearts to heal and our love for animals grow even more. I do love me some kittys too!! All fur babes are welcome 🤗 ♥️ My job as a flower gardener is seasonal. I am an early riser and have a very steady daily schedule in my off-time. My husband is my partner with Rover, we are always happy to welcome all the animals in our home. My family and I are very active, love to be outsoors and would be honored to take your pups on daily walks or even a simple hike! Though, overnights are our favorite! 🐶 If you would like for me to hang out with your dog and play catch for an hour, I can do that. If you need help administering oral medications, I have experience doing so with previous dogs and cats. Or maybe you just want me to cuddle your kitty, I am SO happy to do that too!! I have had fish, snakes, a bearded dragon and a senior bird in the past. I am here to give my kindness and care to all creatures of the earth!

Whether your pet needs a midday check-in, regular walks, or some extra company hip, I'm nearby and ready when they need me most.

I will also ask you your pets specifics behaviors (you do know them best) & will always check in with you if I notice anything outside the norm. You can count on me to follow routines, respect boundaries, and treat your pet with care.

Morgan R.
“After getting to know Morgan, I can confidently say she has always been one of the most kind, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. Her love for animals has been clear since I first met her, and it shines through in the way she cares for her own dog, Wren. Morgan is patient, attentive, and genuinely devoted to the well-being of any animal in her care. I know for certain that she has and will fight for the safety of the animals in her care. She has a natural connection with pets and always makes them feel comfortable, loved, and safe. She has also cared for our four dogs while we’ve been away, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with them. She follows every instruction closely, keeps us updated, and makes sure the dogs are happy and relaxed while we’re gone. They absolutely love her! I always come home to happy pets and a sense of ease knowing they were in such responsible hands. I highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet caretaker.”

Marisa K.
“I requested Marisa to watch my dog Cyrus for 5 days in my home. She informed me she wouldn’t be able to stay the night the week of requested dates and said she was available for drop in visits. In the end we ended up still booking it as a house sitting gig since it was cheaper for me on my end. She was great! Sent pictures and cleaned my house cleaner than I left it. My dog was loved, fed, hydrated, and happy. Definitely booking again!”
