The Dog Nanny

I was an offsite lead for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona for several years finding dogs & other animals their furever homes while taking care of their daily needs. I was also a foster dog Mama. I volunteered at the Brigham City Animal Shelter for 3 years until I rescued 2 special needs 8 week old puppies from the shelter. I have helped out friends & neighbors with pop in visits & walks for their dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

With many years of personal and animal rescue experience I can take your dogs out to potty as well as play fetch, ball or just give pets & attention. I can take your dog out for short strolls to stretch their legs and enjoy the weather (I will be sure to pick up any poo). I can refill water & food bowls if needed too.

Mercedes was amazing! This was our first time leaving our girls and she made me feel so comfortable and safe and confident leaving them in her care. They loved her from the beginning. Mercedes was also very prompt with her reply, which was vital since it was pretty last minute booking. She was able to come meet with us almost immediately and everything was easy as can be from there. We got updates and pictures which helped us not worry for a minute and we were able to enjoy our trip. I would definitely recommend her over and over again!

Mercedes comes with my highest recommendation! My dogs adore her. She spent valuable time with my dogs playing with them and giving them love. She went above and beyond by thoroughly cleaning a glass bird feeder that blew down leaving broken glass where my dog play. She possesses a high level of knowledge and is extremely safety conscious. I feel completely safe leaving my dogs with her! It is so nice to have such a wonderful person that I trust with my babies. She will always be my top choice for my dog sitting needs. Thanks so much for all you did Mercedes, we appreciate you more than you know!

Mercedes took SUCH great care of my puppies. She sent a lot of cute pictures which I really appreciated. I could tell she loves dogs and genuinely wanted to spend time with mine. She was very cooperative when I had to modify a couple days. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker.

Mercedes is responsible, reliable, and great at communicating. She takes time to play and pet, giving Yager lots of attention. We are grateful to find someone who cares and is patient with our dog as much as we are. She is our go to sitter, and have used her multiple times per week, for several months. Yager loves her and is more well balanced with her checking in on him. We love Mercedes and will continue using her services!
