Highlights
Pet care experience
Knowledgable Pet Caretaker
Welcome and thank you for your consideration! I encourage any questions you may have about the type of care I provide or my experience. I strive to be a dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgable caretaker. I believe in providing the level of care, respect, and attention to detail that I would personally insist upon for my own pets. Why I may be a good fit for you: ✨ Previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, including administering oral, topical, and injected medications. ✨ Experienced with "difficult" cases such as fearful, nervous, or spicy personalities, senior /disabled pet care, or homes with multiple animal species. ✨ I take on limited numbers of clients at a time to ensure that I'm able to commit undivided attention instead of rushing to beat the clock. ✨ 100% supportive of indoor and outdoor cameras -- the more the merrier!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a questionnaire that I ask all current and future clients to fill out. It asks about feeding, schedule, behavior, quirks, exercise, hiding places, trash bins, etc. to ensure that I can be prepared to handle anything that comes up. For example, I follow your instructions to the T with regards to feeding, whether it's wet, dry, raw, mixed, home cooked, or something in between.
Ratings and reviews
Mercedes is awesome! She took the time to understand my girl and was patient with her quirks and anxiety. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend her services!
Mercedes was awesome - she showed up as promised, played with my kitties, and even cleaned up a bit. I highly recommend her for other pet owners. I will readily use her again in the future.
Mercedes is so thoughtful and caring! The dogs look forward and thoroughly enjoy every visit!
Mercedes is fantastic with my boxer. She always sends me pictures with great updates on her time with him.
Mercedes is a very caring, thorough, and thoughtful caretaker, in addition to being a phenomenal photographer! I highly recommend and would happily use Mercedes again.
I was reluctant about using Rover to care for Cassie, our Coker Spaniel, but immediately got a response from dog sitter, Mercedes. After several e-mails to address some concerns about Cassie's little escape artist maneuvers, Mercedes assured us that she would pay extra attention to this. All of Mercedes' reviews had been favorable and I could see why; she sent us several reports with pictures addressing how Cassie was getting along in her new environment. Mercedes not only had some treats for Cassie to take home but also included 'Human" treats with a report of Cassie's week long stay. I would highly recommend her services and appreciated all that she did for Cassie and will not hesitate to use her services again. Thank You

Schedule
I work my primary job from home so my schedule is able to adjust pretty well to accommodate all of my client's schedules and needs. I do not over book myself to avoid issues with emergencies, other visits running over time, etc. I do start a timer at the beginning of the visits, but I do not intently stare at it or scramble to leave as soon as the time is up.
