Sunshine and good times

Pet care experience

I'm prior military of 8 years so I keep a clean home. I will make sure that your little or big one is always safe and having fun as well as getting the care he/she needs. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have been working in a veterinary hospital since Nov 2021 here in NC. Should a basic emergency arise I will be able to keep a calm head and take the necessary measures needed to care for your baby. I am experienced from puppy/kitten age babies to elderly. You will be updated as much as you would like me to and I will be sure to keep the schedule you lay out for me. I appreciate the opportunity to work for you and if you have any questions just ask, thanks!

Mercedes was incredible! We were scrambling last minute and she responded to our request for next-day care immediately! She sent pictures and other updates when she would drop in to visit and play and left us feeling totally safe and secure, not just with caring for our best buddy, but with our home as well. I will 100% be using Mercedes again and cannot thank her enough for loving on my good boy!

Very kind and communicates well. I can tell my babies were comfortable with her and it feels good to know I can leave home and know they’re good.

What an amazing experience! We were so nervous to be traveling and trying something new! Mercedes was especially professional and followed through with everything she promised! We were over the moon that this worked out so well! Definitely recommend.

Mercedes is an absolute great dog sitter! She helped us out twice now on a short notice. My dogs love her. She went above and beyond by not only feeding them, she also spent some time playing with them. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

Every morning my pets are fed and taken out. As long as I am home or on an off day we try to get outside and enjoy the park. Then in the evening they have their second meal and another walk. I follow whatever the owner likes for their pet as well. If they get fed at 6am and taken for a walk then I will be there at 6am for feeding and walks. I try to accommodate the owners schedule for their pet as much as I can.

Information Mercedes Y. would like to know about your pet

If your animal has any medication they have to take I will always need the amount, time and days they take the medication. If you would like a nail trim I can offer that as well and I am trained on injecting medication as well.

A typical day

Playing fetch. Chasing kids. Going for walks/runs. If they are allowed to go on car rides then we will go to nice trails and walk to enjoy getting outside for a while.

I am currently looking to just enjoy more time with my kids when they are not in school. taking care of animals is a passion of mine. Unfortunately working in an animal hospital is very time consuming and it would be great to use the skill I have to still work with animals as well as be there more for my family.
