Reviews
THE BEST!! We absolutely love Free Paws! Morgan is so incredibly sweet and wonderful to work with and clearly absolutely loves all animals! We always know our doggies are in the best hands with her! We are so glad they get to be free range in her facility instead of being locked up in a cage. When there are other dogs there, they all get along so well and have so much fun running around and playing, it’s been great for our high anxiety dog, as we know she’s in a safe environment with other dogs that she learn more socialization off leash. Morgan is always doing fun things with them..this last week they got to play in a pool and splash around and she even sends pictures or updates. And unlike other facilities, and because she is a vet tech, she was able to administer allergy meds for our lab. We love that Morgan has vet experience and even gave us a recommendation of a med to try for our lab- and after calling our vet, they agreed it was the best treatment for her seasonal allergies and is now 100x less itchy! She’s been very accommodating and flexible for weird pickup times, especially on our last trip where our flight times changed. I will literally never send my dogs anywhere else but to her, ever!!
Morgan does an excellent job with the dogs! We left Josh, our GSP, with Morgan for two weeks when we went on vacation. I think Josh really enjoyed himself and we appreciated that Morgan sent us a photo or video of him every day while we were gone. Josh will definitely return to Free Paws. We looked at other places but they had too many dogs! At Free Paws, the dogs have room to run and aren’t caged up like prisoners. Great small business worth supporting.
If I could give Morgan more than five stars, I would. She has been there for me and my five babies and my chickens (😁) multiple times when I’ve needed her last minute. My dogs absolutely adore her and she is so good with them. We have two young shepherds, a mini dachshund, a senior lab and one cat.
Each one of them have a different personality and Morgan is great with everyone of them! If you’re looking for a caring, loving and trustworthy Pet Sitter, Morgan is top notch!!
I can’t recommend Morgan and her services enough! My two Aussies boarded with Morgan for 4 days while visiting family out of state and she did a great job keeping me updated about how they settled in. My dogs didn’t want to come back home! They had a BLAST getting to run around with other puppers and chase squirrels all day long. Both came back sleepy and cuddly (which NEVER happens with Aussies). Will definitely be going back for daycare and boarding!
We boarded our Aussie doodle Chewy with Free Paws this past weekend after Morgan was recommended to us by a friend. I was very anxious about leaving him for the first time but Morgan was so kind and really set my mind at ease. She listened intently to my concerns, was so calm with Chewy and was extremely knowledgeable on dog behaviors. She kept in touch daily with updates and photos while we were away, and treated chewy like her own. He was exhausted from the fun and I know was treated with love by his mood when we got him back home ❤️ Highly recommend!!!!
