Pet care experience

Love caring for all the furbabies!

I’ve had pets my whole life. I had a pit bull and lab growing up, along with my three cats. I always spent time walking the neighbors dogs, or feeding the neighborhood stray cats. If anyone was out of town, I was the one to call to make sure the babies were in good hands.

Great experience with Mercedes. She watched my puppy while I was at work and took excellent care of her. Reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely be using her again—highly recommend!

Mercedes is so attentive and detail oriented when it comes to taking care of your pet. She always sends lots of photos and lots of messages with real time updates. I just started a new job and I’ve been working a lot and Mercedes has made the process so much less stressful because I know my dog is in great hands. Highly suggest! I plan to work with her for the future :)

Mercedes always does a great job taking care of my kitties! She’s extremely attentive and noticed an issue while I was away. I have peace of mind when I’m away! Thank you!!

I had Mercedes watch my Savannah cat for 3 days. She dropped in twice a day as requested and was very courteous and updated me everyday while I was away at a conference. I was very apprehensive about getting someone off this app because of security and safety reasons but she did an amazing job. Its hard to find someone trust worthy with the keys to your house and your pet. I will regularly book her from now when I need someone to watch my cat.

I always want to give your pet the best care possible, so it’s helpful to know a few things ahead of time: • Do they have any health conditions, allergies, or medications? • How do they usually react to new people or other animals? • What’s their daily routine like—feeding times, potty schedule, playtime preferences? • Are there any behaviors I should watch for (chewing, scratching, nervous habits, etc.)? • And of course, do they have any favorite toys or treats? The more I know, the more I can make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
