Hello, I’m Mercedes, I work from home and can be there with your pet all day. My dog is very friendly and loves having buddies to run around and play with! I’m looking to help out anyone who needs their dogs watched! Super flexible with times and scheduling if need be, also! I have watched many different dogs & my dog loves other pups. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pups or cats and being able to watch them!

Our pup Ollie had a great time with Mercedes! She was very attentive to his needs, sent plenty of updates, and even cooked him some food when his tummy was upset. Will definitely be using her again! :)

Mercedes was a great sitter for our 8 yo "bully" breed mix. She's a big baby and gets sad when I leave her, so hanging with Mercedes's dog Odin, and playing with toys and snuggling was great. Mercedes was very flexible with pickup/drop off and sent photos of our sweet old lady :)

Thank you Mercedes for taking care of Gordie. We were super happy he could play with Odin and felt like he was in great hands the whole time!

Mercedes was a doll! She came to my house and met us before spending the weekend with my pups. She was great with communicating and sending pictures. I will definitely reach out to her next time!

Schedule

I go on morning walks after noon and evening!! Long hikes on the weekend and let me know if their good brewery dogs! My little guy loves going to the brewery’s and would love a little weekend partner in crime!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

A typical day

First, I would check with the owners and see where they take their dog, ensure their dog isn't reactive, and that wherever I bring their dogs will fit them. If the dog is great to go out with, head to local breweries and parks will be some of the first spots we head to!

I will need to know if they are good with walks. If they are reactive in and outside the house, this can give me a better idea of handling them and ensuring everyone's safety.
