Information Mercedes R. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including special feeding, medication, or extra care needs. Please let me know anything that helps your pet feel extra comfortable and safe!

A typical day

Your pet can expect walks, playtime, cuddles, and a calm, loving environment. I’ll stick to their routine, keep them safe and make sure they have fun too! We are 5 minutes from green mountain, a great park for walking is around the corner and we even have a small dog park across the street to play fetch or run around and get some exercise! 🎾

It’s a relief to be able to leave our dachshund with someone we trust! Mercedes was attentive to the directions we sent him with, and sent plenty of photos/updated. Our boy looked so comfortable with her!

Daisy had a great time staying with Mercedes! Easy to communicate with and sent sweet pics. Daisy will definitely be staying with her again.🙂

Mercedes was fantastic! She was communicative, flexible on short notice, and took wonderful care of our puppy. Rory came home happy and we loved the thoughtful report card she sent with her. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
