Pet care experience

Your pet's home away from home!!❤️

I'm BACK! Took a little time off of pet sitting to help my daughter with the grandbabies but I'm back and ready to help with YOUR furbaby! 😍🥰.......A little about me....I recently lost my doggie of 15 years due to a heart condition. I needed some time to grieve but now I am ready to help others with their fur babies!! I am a new grandmother so I need a little more freedom to help babysit etc..but I figured this would be a great way to have Kitties and doggies in my life and get to snuggle and love them even if it's just from time to time! I live alone in a GREAT pet friendly building and neighborhood! Lots of doggies and kitties all around! I am the official cat and dog sitter for all my friends and family because I just LOVE it! I've had dogs and or cats my whole life...NOTE:. My overnight boarding rate for cats is $40! If it quotes you more on here I will adjust it!

It was a pleasure working with Mercedes! She took such good care of my anxious cat, send me lots of pictures, made my cat super comfortable (he even accepted her petting him which is rare), and helped me in my time of need. Thank you, Mercedes! I hope to work with you again 😊

Mercedes took such great care of my dog. Was great about giving him his medication and working with his anxiety. Will definitely be going to her again!!

Mercedes is an exceptional dog sitter who provided our dog with a delightful stay on short notice. Her genuine affection for dogs and the beautiful surroundings make her an excellent choice for dog boarding. I highly recommend her services.

Safety, trust & environment

I love snuggling and playing with pets so they can hop on the couch or bed with me or I can easily crate your dog if needed! I have waterproof protective pet covers on my furniture so that's all covered! Additionally, My dog had health issues so I got pretty good at giving him his pills with pill pockets etc! I also have my own large dog crate (42 inches). So no need to bring a crate if your dog requires a crate! I also have a large kitty litter tray.

A typical day

I live in a great neighborhood and building to go for walks and to nearby parks. I have friends that live in the building that have pets so we can do play dates if you are comfortable with that!!
