Information Mercedes M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs, I just wanna make sure that I am well equipped and prepared to deal with it and to assist the fullest of my capabilities

A typical day

Typically, my day starts off with hanging out with my pets in the morning and having a nice cuppa tea, then I’ll take my corgi dog out side to let her go pee. I’ll set down food for the pets, And minister any medication required. Then my kiddo and I will take our dog or any of her friends dogs out for a walk in the morning before we head to school. Once I get home from school, I’ll take my dog for another nice long walk around town and play some games with her in the park. We enjoy going to the dog park and throwing her ball or playing with the leaves. My pets get lots of cuddles as my son and I are both huge animal people.

Life long animal lover and cuddler

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover, my entire life, having pets for every single year that I’ve been around, and do not think I will ever not have a pet within my life lifetime. While I have pets of my own, I have had many of my friends and family asked me to watch over their pets while they need help, I have fostered my friends pets and help them find the forever home and do not mind being a cuddle puddle of fur

Mercedes took great care of my pup. She left detailed messages and Cleo was happy on our return.

Mercedes was great with Milou, she was super friendly and her little pup also was kind enough to share the space with my dog :)

Cooper had his first overnight visits with Mercedes this weekend. She was fantastic! I was a little nervous as it was his first time there but Mercedes eased my mind early on with a picture and told me Cooper was settling in well and all was going well. Mercedes was top notch professional and I loved the pick up and drop off services! I am soo glad I've found Mercedes. Looking forward to having more great experiences with her moving forward.

Mercedes is a total animal whisperer! My 3 year old cat, Bowie is very shy and runs away from most people but he absolutely loves Mercedes and comes right up to her for cuddles and totally trusts her. Mercedes is always reliable and on time. She truly treats others pets with the same care and attention to detail as she would her own. She also has great knowledge on cat and dog care from her own personal experience and research. -Cassidy D
