“Amazing experience with Merve! Our dog can be very timid around new people and Merve was willing to work with Kona until she felt comfortable. Now they are buds for life! We will 100% be using Merve in the future.”
2. Kelly A.
“Kelly went above and beyond when she took care of your potty Ruger. Kelly was always on time and made sure to feed, water, and play with ruger outside. Kelly sent us pictures and updates of every visit. While we were out of town it was super hot and Kelly even took the time to water our flowers. We will definitely have Kelly taking care of Ruger or any other dogs we may have in the future and you should do the same. Thanks for everything Kelly. Tony and Lisa”

About: Having spent 27 years surrounded by pets, from dogs and fish to guinea pigs, my love for animals is deeply ingrained. My own dog, who turns four soon, has taught me so much about the joys and challenges of pet care. Whether it’s training a lively puppy or offering gentle support to a senior pet, I approach each task with dedication and warmth. Growing up in a family where animals are cherished, I’ve learned the importance of personalized care. I’m excited to offer the same level of love and attention to your beloved pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished in my care. As a recent college graduate finding my ideal career, I’ve turned to pet care because it aligns with my passion for animals. It’s a fulfilling way to spend my time and brings me immense joy. Integrating pet care into my daily routine allows me to provide loving attention to your pets while I continue to explore my professional path. In both my home and yours, I focus on maintaining your pet’s routine and providing personalized care. Whether pet sitting or walking, I ensure your pet’s needs are met, offering affection and attention to build trust and comfort.

About: I have owned my own cats for 15 years now. They are constantly cuddled and pampered. My husband and I adopted our two dogs 10 years ago. They go on car rides with us, and long walks. They love chew toys, and bones. When I lived at home I took care of all of our senior pets. I was raised in a household where pets are family. I would take care of your animals like they were one of my own. I am a teacher full time, but I am available full time during the summers. I am around in the evenings during the school year. I can walk your dogs, let them out in a fenced yard, play with them, and give lots of cuddles. I also love cats and can scoop litter boxes, play with them, and give them cuddles.
