“Victoria has been great with Clifford. He's loving the extra exercise and human interaction. She is always on time and sends pictures of his outings.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and currently care for two 4-month-old pups and an 8-year-old cat. I provide dependable, loving care that pets feel comfortable with from day one. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I have three of my own—a cat and two 4-month-old puppies. I keep them on a consistent schedule and am actively teaching the puppies basic commands like potty training and sitting. While I work a full-time job during the year, in the summers I take on two part-time jobs, which gives me even more flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets. When caring for pets, I treat them as if they were my own and make sure they feel truly loved and cared for. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust to their needs and routines. My goal is always to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible—for both pets and their owners.


“Morgan is amazing! So sweet and caring with my pups! Very experienced given her previous work at a an animal clinic. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire or recommend her”


“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”


“Absolute excellent care!!”


About: I have always loved animals. Since a young age I would always run outside with my dog to get her enter out and my own. I love going on long and short walks, as long as it’s with a furry friend! I am currently working part time, but still have plenty of time to walk or play with your sweet pups! I have always love animals and what a better way to spend summer than to play with them! I have a large front yard and a dog of my own so no need to worry about your sweet pups being all alone. I can also keep them from easily getting too far away.

About: Hello there! As a proud mom to four dogs, 12 goats, 15 chickens, and too many ducks and cats to count- I would be thrilled to get to know your furry friend and help with any pet responsibilities. I personally have a St. Bernard, English bulldog, and 2 Great Pyrenees. Large breeds are my specialty but I, of course, am a complete sucker for all the adorable tiny pups of the world too! I’m an active person who enjoys a good jog and am happy to walk in any weather. I also have plenty of farm experience with pigs, goats, and chickens for anyone in a rural environment. Best of all, I am well settled into my 30s and will always supply the reliability, responsibility, and peace of mind that you as owners deserve. We make most of our “pooch-a-roo stew” dog food from scratch from healthy, home grown foods on our farm. Our pups have completed obedience classes. We spoil them daily but have a good foundation of rules to keep everyone in our pack happy and healthy! I found my wonderful dog sitters on rover.com and have been so thrilled with the help they have given me. I can’t wait to pass along my love of animals to your family. Cheers to all the tail wags, drool spots, and happy panting to come!

About: Ever since I was five, I have taken care of dogs. I am capable of taking care of pets big and small. I have had several dogs, a few even with health issues of various severity, and have learned how to treat and care for them. I am experienced in administering oral medications and caring for geriatric pets. My family recently adopted another golden retriever puppy, so I am also familiar with training puppies and their needs. I just finished college and I am looking for a summer job. I am available most days of the week during the summer until the end of August. I'm dedicated to caring for your pets like they're my own! I think the most important thing to remember when meeting a new animal is to show them you aren't there to hurt them and display a positive attitude!

About: I have a soft spot for animals of any kinds, and dogs are no exception. My love of animals later lead me to get trainer certified at Petco, and later trained my first service dog for a veteran. From puppy's to older ones, dog for me are no problem. Iv trained everything for few week old pups to old ones. You can generally teach dogs new tricks at any age. I also have perfected a (almost) treatless method that iv used on big to small. If one is patient, it is effective. These are beings in our care and they deserve to be treated well in a way they understand, which is typically pets and praise and a treat every now and then their way This is my job, my hobbies as a droneir fits around it. The needs of your furry family is what takes priority as you lead on with the adventure of life. I'll make sure they stay well taken care of From full time to as needed, sitting required consistant messages and sometimes that extra training. Our furry family members are very important. They need that special care that a calm demeanor like I have can give
