Pets are part of the family

Pet care experience

I work from home which gives me a flexible schedule to walk and take care of your furry loved ones! At this time I am available for drop-ins and dog walking only (no overnight stays). Dogs have always been an integral part of my family since I got my first pup back in kindergarten and in recent years I've fallen in love with cats as well. I've had two incredible Bichons, one Poodle mix, a Bengal cat, and am currently raising a 5-year-old Papillon. Since starting out with Rover I have had the incredible opportunity to petsit for over 50 wonderful cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of a variety of energetic puppies, kittens, and cuddly seniors. I have experience with sizes ranging from Miniature Schnauzers and French Bulldogs to Goldendoodles and German Shepards. I know how stressful it can be to leave your loved ones while you are away, so I always ensure to take lots of photos, give status reports if I notice any odd behavior, and let you know when they've received their meals! I love all dogs and cats, whether they're rambunctious puppies, shy kittens, or grumpy senior citizens, and I'd love the opportunity to help take care of your furry companion! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to walk and take care of your furry loved ones. I'm available on weekdays and weekends as long as it is after 9am. I start each drop-in visit with the essentials, making sure your pet has been fed according to instructions and that they have fresh water and clean litter. In the case of a dog, I will take them out for a potty break and play with them outside if the weather is permitting, or else bring them in for a game of fetch or tug-o-war. In the case of a cat, I like to provide enrichment with puzzle toys and string toys or offer a lap for cuddles.

Mercedes did an amazing job visiting with my puppy Maxwell. Had a possible delay getting home and knowing we were in a problem she was willing to help out in order to have Maxwell looked after. Thankfully our delay was averted but so appreciated Mercedes carrying and willingness to accommodate us.

Our pup, Pekoe loves Mercedes! She does a great job on taking him on adventures and often goes over and above! Thank you Mercedes for giving our little guy the best dog walking experience ever!

Information Mercedes M. would like to know about your pet

I love any dog no matter the size but if they’re over 40 pounds and haven’t been leash trained we might not be a good match. However, if they’re small and fussy, I’ve got plenty of experience! I'm good with cats of varying temperament but it's always nice to have a warning if they're overly skittish or aggressive.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks to the park or playing a game of fetch in the backyard. I also think it's important for them to get in a good cuddle or belly rub! For cats, I like to play with string toys, puzzle toys, and provide lots of cuddles and attention. I always ensure to take lots of photos so you know what they've been up to!
