About: I’ve had a puppy since he was a few months old and he is now 10 and i help my family take care of two other puppies. I love long walks or runs and will be available around the clock because I work from home. I work from home so will be available around the clock. I am also into fitness so I love runs and walks. I make sure to make food for them weekly but I do also follow meal plans as needed. I have 3 dogs total however I don’t have a yard so I walk them constantly with the help of my family. I am strict on dietary needs for them because I love a healthy dog. So any scheduled feeding is good. Also available throughout the day.

About: Hello! I’ve been around dogs since kindergarten. I am extremely patient and love dogs more than humans sometimes, I haven’t met a dog that didn’t love me :) I also have owned two senior dogs and a new puppy, so I am well versed on handling different energy levels in dogs. I live in an apartment that has gated yards and a park that is 5 minutes away. I also have a crate if the dog needs one along with a one year old yorkie that is very friendly and energetic. If the dog is reactive and not great around other dogs, I have a family member that I can stay with while your dog is in my possession that is dog free and has a gated front yard the dog can play in. I am currently working part time during the late evenings. The best time for drop offs/pick ups would be in the early morning and afternoon 6am-3pm on Mondays and Thursdays. I am typically off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, so pick ups/drop offs work for whenever those days. Fridays and Saturday’s I work in the night time, so pick up/drop offs are ideal anytime before 7pm :) Any other time discrepancies can worked out to accommodate your plans. I take pet care extremely seriously. Each day consists of multiple walks along with play time either in my own home or the dog park and with dog enrichment. Enrichment is crucial because it stimulates a dogs brain and provides entertainment for a while. Dog parks are also essential because it helps the dog interact and play with other dogs

About: Hi! My name is Hayward, and caring for dogs has been a part of my everyday life for years. I currently own multiple dogs, including American Pit Bull Terriers and French Bulldogs, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply needs someone patient and dependable to check in while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention to give you peace of mind. I’m experienced with energetic dogs, strong pullers, and multi-dog households. My goal is to make every walk and every visit safe, fun, and stress-free while giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and am available for dog walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. I can accommodate morning, midday, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, food if requested, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow each owner’s routine and instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll provide photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Since birth, dogs have been an important part of my life. My family dogs have included labs, pointer/beagle mix, Pyrenees/Wheaten Terrier mix, and a Sheepadoodle. Some high energy (the doodle of course) and some lower (Pyrenees in his later years). I am an avid walker and hiker and am always attentive to my dog’s wants and needs on our adventures, no matter the age of the dog. Even at a young age I was very involved in the care of our family dogs, as well as interactions with the other pets. I also accompanied two of our dogs to doggy kindergarten and learned about different training techniques. I am used to roadtrips and camping with dogs as company in new and unfamiliar places. I am a recently graduated Masters student and freelance musician (trombone player), with a relatively fluid schedule week to week due to freelance commitments, which include musical theatre and orchestra work. I am most often free Monday-Friday mornings to midday 7:00am-2:00pm, as I am least likely to have playing obligations at those times and am looking to fill that time during which I already go for walks with dog bonding time! On walks, I provide ample time for sniffing as well as faster paced walks depending on the dog’s age and agility/energy levels. Additionally, play-time at home or at the dog park can be incorporated. I am attentive to changes in energy levels and body language throughout all walks.

About: Growing up. I had five dogs. Four of them lived up to 14 and 15 years of age. One of them still lives with my sister and it’s currently nine years old. All my life I’ve had experience with dogs and even cared for them up until their senior stage. Even though my dogs are no longer with me, my love for pets still lives on. I recently just finished College, and work less days in my job. So I’m free a lot of the time now, which will help me provide an organized routine for pets. Whether that’s is feeding them, walking them, and spending time with them. When I had my dogs, I would take them outside to my backyard and stay with them until they were finished, and then they were able to walk up the stairs and go back inside. When caring for a pet in your home, I will be sure to do the same and take precautionary measures that are needed to ensure that your fur baby is safe. As well as follow any rules instructed.

“Morgan has been absolutely wonderful with my baby girl Chichi! She’s not only incredibly kind and caring, but also super reliable and responsive—especially when I’ve had a few last-minute changes. She always adjusts without hesitation and makes sure everything runs smoothly. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, which brings me so much peace of mind. Knowing that Chichi is in such good hands on days I’m in the office makes all the difference. Highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver!”
