I work full time on second shift, with a varied schedule. However I'm usually able to pop in somewhere before work and take care of your pets. I wouldn't be ideal as a house sitter, or a boarder, but I'll happily check in on your babies and take then on walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make sure animals have plenty of time to sniff me out and get used to me. If you're cool with me giving them a treat, I may use one to bribe them. Otherwise I let the animal come to me. I'll feed your dogs exactly the right amount of food, let them out for the right amount of time, and exercise them at however long you want. Dogs and cats deserve respect and understanding. I'm not going to change their routine in addition to being a strange person.

Caring for Your Furry Friend

Pet care experience

I've had dogs almost my whole life. I've taken care of puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs. I love to go on walks, so if your furry family member needs a long walk I'm your gal. I can help with training, and if your baby doesnt have good leash manners? Don't worry.

Mercedes watched our Maggie, and she did a good job, I know that Maggie had a good time because she wasn’t anxious back at our home :) In addition, Mercedes is a very understanding, flexible, kind and good petsitter.

Mercedes is a solid pet caregiver. She does very well with my dog, Charlie Brown and I would highly recommend her to anyone asking. Solid!
