“This is my second time with her and my dog likes her and the walk. I think this time I'm going to set up recurring walks with her. Great job! I definitely recommend Merlette!”
“Cody & I did a meet & greet with Victoria. He was happy to meet her. He has a lot of puppy energy but she understood that. Hope we can have a few regular walks in the future.”
“Michael has been a lifesaver when life is life-ing. He really built a rapport with my pups especially my rescue german who is weary of strangers. The boys look forward to their walks and are always ready for a nap when they come home. Thank you so much!”
“Val is by far the best sitter on Rover! I have used her multiple times for both dog walking and dog sitting, and she goes above and beyond to make my dogs experience enjoyable, and to make my experience easy and without any worries. I would highly recommend her for everything!”
“We have a newborn, so it's a huge relief to have Deborah walk our dog every morning. Our dog Lucie waits for her by the window and is always so excited to see her. That tells me she treats the doggies well and develops a good bond with them! Deborah is communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Cyndi was wonderful with my dog during the three weeks she walked him. He was always excited and happy to go with her, and I felt confident knowing he was in good hands. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Irina walked our reactive dog in our neighborhood and I definitely recommend her! She was communicative throughout the process, provided pictures and gave a detailed summary of their walk together. We’ve already booked her for a week long stay in our home!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and have always taken care of a dog and/or cat. Friends, family and neighbors have often relied on me to walk their dog or pet sit. I'm also a teacher and am responsible and reliable. I'm currently a graduate student, so I have time on Wednesdays and weekends for pet sitting/walking. I currently have 2 goats and 2 cats at home, so I am comfortable with pet routines. I don't have space in my home to care for your pet, but I can do drop in visits and dog walks in your home/neighborhood.
“What a wonderful person! I was very worried because my son's dog is unruly and wants to eat other dogs. Kyla had the dog walking along as peaceful as can be. She was truely a blessing.”
About: I truly love cats and have two of my own. One, Tiga, was rescued from my yard, and the other, Truffle, was adopted from a shelter. I also have plenty of experience caring for cats of different ages and personalities. I’ve cared for cats that need medication as well. I’m patient and responsible, and I always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My schedule is fairly flexible, so I can usually fit cat visits into my daily routine. I mainly offer drop-in visits and boarding for cats. I can help with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving medication if needed, and providing attention and playtime based on each cat’s personality and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect for their space. I carefully follow all instructions, ensure pets are well fed and comfortable, and keep the home tidy. I understand that many cats can be shy, so I take a gentle, patient approach and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I also provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.

Caring for dogs has always been a true passion of mine, and I take pride in creating a safe, structured, and enriching experience for every dog in my care. As a fitness professional and part-time personal trainer who works primarily from home, I’m able to dedicate consistent time, supervision, and personalized attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. My active lifestyle allows me to provide dogs with the exercise, engagement, and companionship they need to feel balanced, relaxed, and happy. I focus on creating a calm and positive environment while reinforcing good habits such as loose-leash walking, recall, and attentiveness during walks and daily routines. Every dog receives patient care tailored to their personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I understand how important communication and trust are when someone else is caring for your pet. That’s why I provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident, informed, and at ease while your dog is with me.

While staying with us, your pet will be treated like family and welcomed as part of our pack with plenty of affection, attention, structure, and care. Please feel free to share any routines, preferences, special instructions, or favorite activities your dog enjoys so I can provide the most comfortable and personalized experience possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a level of care you can truly feel confident in. I work from home most of the time with most days full-time at home. , which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Pets staying with me enjoy multiple daily walks and outdoor exercise sessions tailored to their energy level and needs. They will also have the companionship of my two friendly dogs, Lumi and Sago, providing both social interaction and play opportunities in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your pet enjoys active play or simply relaxing with company, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment during their stay. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a beautiful, quiet, and safe neighborhood with a fully fenced yard where your pet can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, play sessions, and relaxing in the sunshine whenever they choose. We are also fortunate to have scenic paved hiking trails and a park just a few minutes away, which I regularly use for walks and exercise with my own dogs. Whether your pet enjoys leisurely strolls or more active outings, I can tailor their activities to their individual needs and energy level. To help your pet feel completely at home, I encourage you to share any special preferences, routines, favorite activities, or unique needs they may have. Maintaining consistency with their daily schedule helps create a comfortable, stress-free experience and allows them to settle in as if they were in their own home.
“Alexandra is great! Very responsive to messages and great with our dogs. She also pays attention to details and points out anything of concern, including noticing a tick on one of our dogs that we were than able to take care of. She has been super helpful and we utilize her services anytime we can!”
“Lauri has really helped me out last minute when I needed someone to walk one of my two high-energy dogs. Maggie absolutely loved walking with her and was thrilled every time she saw Lauri. In addition to having a highly reliable, punctual dog walker, we also got to take advantage of Lauri's training background and made some great progress on Maggie's overall leash manners!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we had 12 Dobermans on our property. Most of my childhood involves caring for them.

I am a stay at home mom, I am very flexible with your and your pets needs. I am open to any time you need me. I am very careful when dogs are in my home.

I try my best to relieve their anxiety and give them that extra attention or space.

I booked Victor for Dog Walking with less than 24hrs notice. Not only was he available and responded quickly - He still took the time and care to ask about Rick and make sure Rick and I were comfortable. Even better, after the walk he took the time to discuss with me any unusal things he noted (Rick peed less than his normal amount on his walk) as well as the positive/general behavioral feedback of my pup. Really excellent experience overall. Thank you!
Xiao is legit. Professional, reliable, prompt, and very easy to communicate with. What stood out to me is that she does much more than just walk your dog. She understands dog behavior, energy, recall, leash handling, safety around other dogs, and how to read the environment while she’s out with them. She pays attention to the little things too—where they’re walking, other dogs approaching, cleanup, respecting public spaces, and just being responsible overall. She took Anikah to Point Isabel already twice and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with someone who actually understood her and wasn’t just going through the motions of a walk. She also went above and beyond by helping me think through Anikah’s needs long term, organize some of my priorities, and even referred me to another person she trusts when it made sense for timing and convenience. That told me a lot about her character and professionalism. I would highly recommend her without hesitation.
