I'll love your pup like you do!

Pet care experience

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOOKING ME: Please contact me more than 48 hours before the requested sitting job. (In fact, the further in advance, the better!) This is to ensure that me, you, and the pups have time to meet each other and go over their needs and their living space. Rover shouldn't be treated as Uber, your pup deserves a vetted sitter that they've met before. If I do not feel comfortable with you, your dog, your home, or your needs for the job, I will not accept the job. I extend this same courtesy to you, if you do not feel comfortable with me, we do not have to book the job. It's important to me that we ALL are comfortable with the situation, and that we have good communication about the details of the job. A meet and greet is not a commitment to the job, and either of us can cancel the requested booking after the meet and greet for any reason. —— I LOVE dogs and am unable to have one at this time, so I will love yours as if it were my own! I've been pet sitting for 15+ years, both as a job and as a hobby, and I've volunteered for Guide Dogs for the Blind for three years. I've worked with big and small dogs, and I love them all. I'm also a tidy house guest - other than how happy your dog is, it will seem like I wasn't even there! And if your dog stays with me, they'll have a fenced in area and 17 acre property to explore! I will take the time needed to give your dog the special, personalized care that it needs while you're away. I can provide references upon request. I'm looking forward to having a great time with your special pup!

Our pets loved hanging out with Mercedes. She’s incredibly conscientious and caring, and kept us well informed throughout her stay - even when the cat brought a feathered friend into the house. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who will take great care of your home and pets.

Mercedes was great and took care of our two large dogs by loving, feeding and walking them while we were in LA. She stayed at our house and was super dog sitter that communicated well and often about the animals and how they were doing. Photos too!

Mercedes was a life saver. The sitter we found through Rover cancelled last minute while we were already on vacation. She didn't even let us know directly. We only found out when we got internet access and we checked the Rover website. I was in a panic and Mercedes came to our rescue. She came to our house as soon as she could and she took such great care of our dog. I would highly recommend her. Huge thanks to Mercedes. We don't know what we would have done without her help!!

I love taking dogs on hikes! If your dog loves the dog park, I'd love to take them! I enjoy the dog park probably as much as the dogs :)
