Loving Pet-Sitter / Dog-Walker
Pet care experience
When I care for your dog, I want them to feel like part of my family. I would love to spoil him or her with tasty treats, good belly rubs, and frequent walks. From 2010 through 2016, I worked as a volunteer foster mom at Cat Tales Rescue. I highly value the time I spent with that rescue, as they taught me to administer medications, calm an upset animal, and really invest 100% of myself to my foster babies. I also have experience as a volunteer vet tech through Whiskers Tails and Ferals. I'm currently studying Early Childhood Education in college, and am also an artist and musician as well! When watching your fur baby, I will be sure to send daily check-ins to mom or dad and attach a few cute pictures while I'm at it! If any questions or complications arise, I'll be sure to get a hold of you promptly. My goal is to provide owners with a stress-free experience and a happy pup to return home to. When I am caring for your animals, I would love to have mom or dad introduce me first to establish comfort. Please let me know if there are any special needs, medications, command words, or naughty habits to look out for! I will always do my best to maintain a regular routine even when his or her parents are away. I do not have any preferences or restrictions on breed or size. I currently service in Alameda only, but may travel to Oakland, Berkeley, or San Leandro for longer bookings with multiple dogs.

Morgan did a great job. Pics of the dogs daily. She was also very gracious and easy going when what I thought was going to be a small project turned into a big one while we were gone. She handled it graciously. When I returned and realized the magnitude of the job our handyman had undertaken I was surprised (and apologized to her profusely), but Morgan took it in stride. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
We loved having Morgan take care of our pups! She was responsive and attentive to our dogs and sent us several updates and pictures while we were gone. Our pups were happy upon our return. We will be booking with Morgan again!
There are not enough kind words I can say about Morgan. She kept in touch several times a day with pictures of my dogs and status on what they were doing (going on walks, eating their meals, etc). I appreciated seeing and hearing that they were doing well. While Morgan was dog/house sitting for me, one of my two dogs (a 12 year old Puggle) became very ill. Morgan immediately reached out to me to tell me what was happening and to work out a plan for the dog’s care. I was 4 hours away and did not pick up the message for about 40 minutes. In the meantime Morgan did all those things I would have done if I was at home. She called the dogs vet for advise and was told the dog should be seen. Ultimately she had to drive to an emergency vet, 30 minutes from my home, with both of my dogs in tow. The vet checked out both of my fur babies and Morgan kept me advised every step of the way. The ill dog needed a special diet as prescribed by the vet, as well as meds and Morgan volunteered to cook the dog’s meals and had no problem ensuring the dog got her meds. She is the best! I am so thankful Morgan was with “my girls” when one became ill. Her total focus was the care of my pet and keeping me informed. I could never ask for better or more! Don’t hesitate for a moment to hire this wonderful woman.
Morgan was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Fiona. Morgan regularly checked in with adorable photos and always kept me updated. Most importantly, she cared for Fiona like I would, including cooking her home cooked meals every night when Fiona’s ongoing stomach issues acted up while I was gone. I got regular updates about Fiona and Morgan was conscientious about checking in when she wasn’t sure what Fiona wanted (including one time when we couldn’t figure out why Fiona was pawing Morgan ... and it turned out it was because Fiona wanted to be cuddled, which she *never* does with strangers). I absolutely would use Morgan again. In fact, I was almost offended how little extra excitement I got from Fiona when I got home after being gone a week ... That’s a sign of a good dog sitter!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?
A typical day
My absolute favorite places to go for a walk would be beginners' mountain trails, the beautiful beach, or a wide open park space. Please let me know if there are any particular routes or locations your fur baby would love to see for a walk.
