Lifelong dog lover and caregiver!
Pet care experience
Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 5 years old and picked my first puppy, a German Shepherd I named “Baby”, up from the pound. Since then I’ve lived with an array of family/roommate’s dogs and dog sat many breeds (puppies and elderly dogs) like, Labs, Beagles, Pomeranians, Pit bulls, Terriers, a Great Dane once and even my mom’s Boerboel that I sometimes help take to the vet. My first very own dog was a stray Chihuahua who found me on the street and was never claimed. I named him Oscar and he was my best friend and whole life for 8 years until he passed. I know what it means to grieve for a pet and understand how very important they are in our lives. My current dog, Hazel, is a very friendly and energetic 2 year old Australian Shepherd. She’s super smart and just an all around great dog. I have great experience and would love to look after your furry friend while you are away!

Information Mercedes E. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any specific breed preferences but I would need to know about a dog's temperament with other dogs as well as humans before sitting them. Also I would need to know about if your dog has separation anxiety, or any other condition that would cause them to be nervous around me and the best way to make them comfortable. My dog gets pretty nervous when I'm not around, so I know how that can be. Health issues should also be fully disclosed so I am properly prepared to care for your pet.
A typical day
I love taking my dog Hazel out on trails and walking along the river. She is a high energy breed so I’m used to long walks and seemingly endless games of fetch! I also know how to play nose work games with dogs that stimulate and tire them out mentally.
