Non-shedding dogs only please :)!
Pet care experience
Our rescue dog Hugo is a friendly 3 y/o poodle mix who loves to play with other dogs. We have a dog door and fenced yard. Since he is a non-shedding dog, we understand the maintenance required for these breeds and are comfortable with bathing if necessary during longer stays, or whatever you may need. We walk around the neighborhood as well as Greenlake, and have a private dog park in our neighborhood! Since we have friends/neighbors with allergies in our home frequently, we prefer to only dog-sit for other non-shedding breeds. Dogs with short hair who don't shed much are fine. Thanks! We dog sat a lot last summer via Rover and it was fun for the whole family! As a teacher, I don't work during the summer so the schedule is great for other people's vacations! Housebroken dogs who get along well with other dogs only please :) Please include any information about your pet that you would like us to know and please stop by for a meet and greet if you'd like to evaluate compatibility. Look forward to hosting your pet! About this sitter: History teacher, mother, dog friend, small business owner, travel aficionado. Why I love dog sitting I grew up with a dog in the family and just recently have been able to commit to having one! We adopted Hugo in January and he's become an instant part of the family. We walk daily and go to a private neighborhood dog park a few times a week to socialize with the rest of the local pack. Meet my pets A 3 year old poodle mix named Hugo.

Reviews
Merissa was so wonderful with our dog, and she sent me photos every day so we could see how he was doing. It definitely helped our children to see photos, it made us all feel assured he was well cared for while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Merissa!
Merissa is a kind person, that tries hard. In our case, my 85 year old mother who was 1,500 miles from home was asked to have someone pickup her dog in the middle of a 25 day stay for soiling a carpet and dog bed. Our family loves dogs, we foster strays and adopt whenever we can. As you can imagine, this turn of events was unexpected. The care Merissa provides is fine, just make sure you have plan B.
Merissa is great! Clover had a great time!!
Wyatt had a wonderful time! Merissa was perfect and I could tell that Wyatt gots lots of love!

Information Merissa R. would like to know about your pet
Very tiny dogs are not a good fit, as my dog seems to think they are not dogs but prey? They also seem afraid of his playful nature (perhaps may change as he gets older...). With a child in the house, I also need to know that your dog is good with children and has no history of biting.
