Paw-some Dog Walker Extraordinaire
Pet care experience
I have a true passion for caring for our furry friends. Having grown up surrounded by animals, including my two beloved dogs, I've always had a special bond with dogs. From a young age, I found joy in caring for and spending time with them. Now, I've turned that passion into a profession. With several years of experience, I understand the importance of exercise, socialization, and individualized attention for each dog I walk. It's a privilege to help keep our four-legged companions happy and healthy.
Reviews
My dog Gus had a great time with Mercedes! She had great communication & sent some cute photos from their walk. He was super happy & calm when I got home!
Mercedes is incredibly professional and communicative and took excellent care of our pup! We would highly recommend her as a dog walker ☺️
Mercedes was amazing! Will definitely book again in the future! :)
Mercedes checked every block on the list of what Kodak (shepherd mix) needed. Our biggest issue in finding reliable walkers has been his size and energy; a lot of people are intimidated by his appearance (His smile is glowing...and toothy), strength, and dog-aggressive personality. Mercedes didn't hesitate when we did a meet/greet and she was able to handle his harness and tugging. Her move to Seattle is definitely our loss, but if you've got a strong dog who needs a stronger lead to walk them, she's got it down.

Safety, trust & environment
With dogs of my own of a variety of breeds I understand it's important to meet each dog with the intent to get to know their specific quirks and needs. Each walk atnd visit is tailored to what you and your pupper need. A longer walk, faster run, pavement preferred, or a natural wander is up to you and your baby.
Information Mercedes H. would like to know about your pet
What medications, if any, they require and the times attached to those. If they are triggered by anything in particular like cats, loud trains, etc. I'd like to tailor the walk away from any of your pupper's triggers.
A typical day
To enjoy as much greenery as possible I like to find a nature trail or park nearest to y'all. I carry with me a bottle of water and a pop up dish so in the midst of the walk there will always be refreshment. Depending on the doggo's needs I come prepared to run.
