+Morgan | Welcome to Doggy Paradise

Pet care experience

I’ve been working with dogs my entire life and I plan to for the rest of my life. From friends and family to complete strangers, I’ve taken care of many, many dogs. It’s very enjoyable for me to spend time with dogs. I’ve also trained dozens of dogs throughout this time.

I would definitely hire Chris again to care for my dog. Chris kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout my dogs’s stay.

Safety, trust & environment

There’s an unfenced, grassy area and a dog park by my residence and I usually bring dogs with me to other outdoor areas like the greenbelt or Zilker. Your dog can sleep on a dog bed or in a crate, up to you. I have a large dog crate, orthopedic dog bed, and dog bowls that you’re dog is more than welcome to use. I recently moved in with my girlfriend and she has a corgi so I have another dog with me now.

Information Chris R. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog like to sleep in a crate or doggy bed? Is there anywhere I should or shouldn’t take them? It’s nice to know anything of importance or out of the norm ahead of time, but I’m never too concerned about it. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs. Sweet little gentle dogs and extremely aggressive dogs. I’ve never met a dog that I haven’t been able to become best friends with.

A typical day

My world basically revolves around the dogs I take care of. It just makes me happy. I like spending a lot of time outside with the dogs I watch. As long as it’s okay with their owner, I take them hiking, walking, and to grassy areas to play.

Update: I’m going to have to start going into the office more and I can’t bring dogs every time… I work as a web developer for a startup. I’m about to start going into the office 3-4 days a week. My girlfriend works from home full time so she’s able to watch the pups while I’m away. There’s a big field next to my office so I always spend a lot of time with them outside and we have plenty of fun throughout the day. I’m also a regular at Zilker in the evenings and weekends. You can be sure your dog will get A LOT of attention.
