“Linda and Michael were so kind to agree to watch our rather rambunctious rescue puppy Archie for us last minute when we needed to travel for a funeral. He was also only a week post op from neutering so was there still wearing his protective cone. Linda and Michael sent us pics while we were away and had nothing but good praise for this growing puppy when I picked him up. Thanks for all you do!”
“John and Rachael take great care if my dog. He gets lots of cuddles and play time when I have to go out of town! Highly recommend their services.”
“We love having Paula watch Drax for us when we are away. I know he’s getting the exercise, love, and attention he needs. She’s the best & I recommend her to anyone.”
“Cassie, Ben, and the entire family were nothing but wonderful for my dog. We can’t say enough great things about the stay. I had a trip planned during the holiday season, and they were incredibly flexible with pick up and drop off. Cassie was wonderful with sending me updates and pictures while I was gone. If you are looking for a trustworthy family who treats your dog like their own, this is the family!”
“He adores Naji and I'm pretty sure it's mutual. Our retirement years wouldn't be what they are with out her. We never worry about our geriatric Boxer.”
“Bridget is a first rate "doggie mom!" :-) She is nurturing and engaged with the pets, and almost always has other repeat customers there when Sparky stays with her. He has a fun time and is safe and comfortable. She is always my first choice!”

“I would give 10 Stars if I could...!! Alan was phenomenal watching Lucy for two days....especially on short notice for a family emergency out-of-state! Lucy made two new friends with June and Jax, too. (Lovely dogs!) Lots of exercise, play time, photos, videos, and updates on how she was doing. He also helped gently alleviate her anxiety with the thunderstorms and fireworks. His professional attention to detail with respect to understanding Lucy's unique needs was totally spot-on. Alan is definitely a "dog guy" ...which is *exactly* what I was looking for. I have full confidence in Alan, and 100% recommend him to everyone looking for puppy sitter. We will absolutely use his services again for Lucy! Thank you, Alan. We are beyond grateful for your help.”
“Merley is amazing, cannot give a high enough rating. She catered to my active dog’s needs with no problem and even helped with her previous food aggression. My dog was very happy after her time at Merely’s while I was out of town on a long trip. Would 100% recommend!”
“Ross was so easy to work with and our dog loved him! He sent tons of pictures and videos showing Koda just relaxing. We will definitely be using Ross again!”

“Jacey & Garrett were amazing! They took my little girl in at the last moment when my other sitter canceled. There was also a situation that they jumped right in and fixed the situation. They sent many pictures and stayed in touch the entire time. I will definitely use them again! Thank you both so much for your love and care of Sophie!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager because I love it so much. I have also trained more dogs than I can count. I will keep your pups safe and make sure they feel well loved in your absence! We will make them part of our family! We have recently lost our dog and would be grateful for the opportunity to love on yours. Please message me if you have any questions and have a great day! My current schedule is very fluid so I have time to work around your dog schedule & any needs they may have. My whole family will be so happy to have your dog with us or just visit or take walks & play. Finding someone not just reliable but who I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with was a huge struggle for me and now I’m happy to be that person for other people!! I have been a dog person my whole life & they are such special members of our families. Thanks for checking out my profile & I hope to meet you soon! Being reliable is important -knowing your pets are not just safe but well loved while you travel brings another level of peace of mind. I found that very hard to find for ours so just know I will care for them like they’re my own! I’d love for them to come be part of our family during your travels or stop in & take care of them in their own environment if that is what’s best for them-I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I can also stop in to play & potty while you’re at work to make sure they’re taken care of. Thanks!
About: I’ve owned 3 dogs over the years. My oldest dog is 14 years old and has some health issues so I am very familiar with all the healthcare requirements. We recently got a puppy as well so I’m very familiar with young pups as well! I currently work from home so I’m very flexible in being able to do daily walks, overnight stays, and daily check ins. I regularly go for walks with my dog and would love to add to my routine! My oldest dog is a grumpy old man so he’s pretty easy to work with. I love to spoil my dogs with treats but enjoy taking them out for walks and making sure they get their daily exercise too. I’m a huge animal lover!

Amy D.
“I was referred to Amy from a friend. She was awesome. Asked about any allergies, was conscientious about times and dosages of any medication or vitamins and was most generous with giving my old girl lots of love and attention ❤️. She also asked about what we allow/don't allow at home to make sure there was no derailing of training, which I love. I gave her our daily routine and she was great about it. I will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommend”
