2. Merlette T.
“Merlette is great with pets in general, she has a great love for animals and is very responsible when tending to their every need. She had cared for my yorkie before and I always had a hard time trusting my Maui with anybody but with Merlette I felt comfortable right awash especially how Maui just would get excited when being in her presence! I’d recommend Merlette over and over again to anybody looking for a dog sitter or a pet sitter. You will not be disappointed and your pet will be loved and taken care of as if they were her own.”

16. Patti M.

“We had been looking for a dog walker for a while but after meeting Patti we found exactly what we wanted. She is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. Patti was thorough on making sure our dogs were cared for in case of an emergency by asking for vet information and emergency vet contacts. On our first trial session with Patti one of our dogs was sprayed by a skunk the nite before and we did our best to remove the skunk smell but it still had a strong oder that lingered. Patti was understanding of the situation and managed to still help us out and walked and feed our pups! We are so grateful and appreciative of her help. She even was kind enough to bring in our packages left at our door. She was on time and was able to manage walking both our Alaskan Huskies! Patti has all the attributes you would want in someone to take care of your fur family members. We highly recommended Patti!”

“I booked Faith last minute and she was so accommodating! Would book again!”

About: I love dogs! I would be honored to take care of your pup. I can take them on walks, let them out to go potty or play with them for a couple hours while you are at work. I have three chihuahuas ages 15 and 2 1/2. I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies and in between. My senior dog Punky is blind so I know how to take care of dogs with special needs. I am also skilled in giving medications. I love to play with dogs and watch them live their best life. It makes me happy to see them happy. I will treat your doggies as I treat mine, with lots of love, care and attention. I’m available at any time during the day possibly night times depending on the situation. As of right now I’m available 7 days a week. I am willing to do what your pet needs. I am happy to take them on walks or just come and play with them.

I am always attentive to their needs.
