I've got your tail covered!

I have had pets since I was a kid. From Hamsters, to dogs, to turtles. I love their little paws and the different personalities that come with each of them. I am a volunteer for the Houston SPCA because I enjoy helping all kinds of animals and love to see them feel loved.

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! They took amazing care of our dog and treated them like family. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much for everything!

Mercedes was amazing with Theo! I know he had a great time with her and her family. She was great about sending updates and I loved knowing that Theo was in such good hands. Would use again!

From the very beginning, Mercedes assured me that Jackson would be with her 24/7. We communicated everyday and she provided pictures of how much fun and how well taken care of my Jackson would be. She is officially Jackson's new dog sitter. I felt almost jealous that he enjoyed being with her then being with me. Lol she said him homemade food for dogs she made her self. Jackson ate like a king. My time away lasted longer than I expected and Mercedes had no problem whatsoever in providing a loving, caring and fun environment for my baby. I love him like he's my only child. Actually he is my only child. Lol I would most definitely use her again. I highly recommend Mercedes as the best pet sitter ever! Thank you so much Mercedes!!
