I usually work only four hours a day Monday-Friday which gives me plenty of flexibility to help you with any doggy needs like walks, daycare, etc. I don’t usually go out of town for holidays so I am available during those times.

Pets

Loves animals and love play dates

Pet care experience

I have cared for dogs for many years and have been a dog lover all of my life. I have three animals ( 2 cats and a dog) who are very loving and caring. If this so happens to be a problem for an owner I have the ability to move my animals in order to care for the owner's dog/dogs. I would walk them everyday because I understand the importance of having daily exercise. Along with this, dog owners will see how happy their dog will be after spending hours with me. There will be plenty of opportunities to have fun with toys and special treats would be in store for those who are well-behaved. I hope that dog owner's will allow me to love their pets just as much as they do.

Mercedes did a wonderful job caring for our sweet girl over the holidays! She sent us multiple pictures a day and Sissy was in great spirits when we picked her up. We will definitely board with her again next time we're out of town!

Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!
