Pet care experience
Hello! I recently just moved from Sacramento to here Lancaster for school and volleyball. I have two dogs back home, an Miniature Pinscher and a Chihuahua Terrier of my own whom I love and adore as if they were my own children. The Chihuahua Terrier was a puppy when I found her and only weighed one pound with a awful case of tics, fleas, and worms. With the help of my mother I nursed her into the beautiful four-year dog she is today! When I was home I walk, feed, bathe, take them on runs, cuddle, dress, and even take them on car rides to the nearest McDonald's to give them treats! Unfortunately, being out here I don't have any dogs and not only do I miss my girls, but just the joy of having a dog companion in general. I would LOVE to care for your dog as if they were one of my own. Since I have been here, I found about two dogs roaming the streets and brought them in my home until I could find their owners. When i see stray animals I like to give them a safe place to stay until I can find their homes, and fortunately I did find their homes! I am no stranger or fearful of ANY type of dog no matter how big or small. I have been raised around dogs my whole life and have developed a STRONG-love for them. I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart! When i graduate from school, I plan on becoming an animal abuse investigator as I am majoring in Criminal Justice. Not only will your dogs be treated with love and respect, but what is most important is that I would never put your dog in harm's way nor make them uncomfortable. I understand all dogs have different personalities and therefore it is my job to understand what they may/may not like and need to be treated accordingly.
Reviews
Mercedes was the BEST! Sorry we didn't post our review sooner. We moved away, but she was the best in caring for our dog. Oscar just loved her....
Bent’Lee’s first stay away from home was fantastic with Mercedes! Would highly recommend her!!!!
Mercedes was so kind and kept me updated on my dog. She went out of her way to take her to the park and let her sleep with her. She was the mom away from mom. Thank you so much and u are highly recommended and appreciated
Five stars ? for Mercedes. This was my first time taking MiMi and Jada to stay with Mercedes. They loved her immediately and kissed her upon meeting her. I was pleased to see her active with them as much as she could with the heat and all. She walked them, took them for a ride (which they love). They cuddled with her in blankets and looked sooo happy. They ate well, which doesn’t always happen when they are away from home and we’re well rested and happy when returning home. She was very loving and affectionate with my cuddle babies and I feel comfortable using her in the near future! She was professional, and I could tell she loves animals! 5 star for sure!!!??

Information Mercedes D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dislikes/likes of a dog before sitting him or her. As in does he/she like other dogs? Are they dominant? Are they allergic to anything? Are they nervous and scared? Like I mentioned before, every dog has different personalities and need to be treated accordingly.
A typical day
I walk my dogs at Elk Grove park, William Land park, and a park which is located directly behind my house. Your dogs can also enjoy this! I also tend to run at Edward Harris middle school where I am usually the only one on the running track, depending on the time so it gives your dog an opportunity to run with me and I am able to keep a keen eye on him/her. If you have a social dog, I would also love to take him to Jacinto Creek Off Leash Dog Park
