Critter care is my life. They have open access to the acreage, loads of toys (yep I do a lot of throwing!). The land is fun with great forested running and jumping opportunities. When we aren't outside playing or it is a rainy day then we nap or play inside. I'm flexible to the needs of the group. My boy is very active so I come well trained!

Information Haden S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that aren't constant barkers (I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of walkers, bicyclists, horses and want to respect them. Also aggression is a deal breaker, I want an environment that feels safe for all of the pups. Some days I may have only one dog and others I have 5 so it is important that everyone is well socialized and sweet.

A typical day

I'm here. We can do whatever whenever. Nice days we are mostly out running, socializing, playing with toys, walking, meeting the sheep. Rainy days we spend more time inside napping, playing, cuddling, baking puppy cookies (Merlin's favorite is peanut butter). I have regulars who come daily and regular overnighters so there is a community feel that is so sweet, friendships built and fostered.

Pet care experience

I have been rescuing dogs and cats since I was a kid. Adulthood has brought goats, alpaca, sheep and a host of other fun critters. I have a regular group of pups that I care for and I am now opening my home up to yours.

Ludo clearly had the time of her life while in Haden’s capable and dog loving care. Would recommend Merlin’s pack to anyone. Thank you!

Buddy loved his weekend with Haden. He had a great time with lots of friends and lots of room to play. Haden sent so many pictures and messages. I joked that I have a new Buddy album. We travel around the country so he doesn’t get much time with other dogs except in the winter months.

Great large wooded acreage where Willie could run and play with other dogs. He came home tired and happy! Thanks so much for taking care of my boy.

Haden was wonderful for my dog for a one-time visit while I was in town on a vacation. Her large acreage and the other friendly dogs meant mine had lots of play time all day. And the photos sent proved it!
