Safety, trust & environment

I take them out for a walk as often as needed . If they take medicine I don’t mind administering it to your fur baby. I will stimulate their mind with different thinking games and treats. They will learn different commands if they don't know them already. I even take them to vet visit if needed throughout the duration of time I’m watching them.

Information Mercedes B. would like to know about your pet

How they get a long with other fur babies. Medication and feeding sheldue if any. Favorite type of toys, activities, and treats. Any triggers for them and behaviors they dislike. If they are potty trained or not. Just basically the dos and don't for your fur baby.

A typical day

If allowed we will go to dog park for some exercise and finish the day with a pup cup or treat. We will keep their mind active as well by doing some training and playing games that are fun and grab their attention. We can walk through out the neighborhood and sight see.

Pet care experience

I'm very patient and experienced with fur babies of all sizes and kinds. I can handle watching dogs twice my size. I'm understanding that every fur baby is different and you have to treat them accordingly so they can become comfortable around you. I understand it can be difficult trusting people to care for them and will ensure they are safe and receive best care and time with me. I will treat your fur baby as I would want someone to treat mine.

Timeliness, love, compassion and all around dog lover is what I received from Mercedes. I’ve never used a dog walking service and I can say - I’m sold! I had to add another two weeks as she’s a true blessing and my dog loves her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
