I work full-time during the week but I am available to provide pet care services in the evenings and on my days off. If given a month’s notice I can arrange my work schedule to accommodate you and your furry friends. This flexibility allows me to assist busy pet parents who need reliable, loving care outside of typical work hours. Whether it’s evening dog walks, overnight sitting, or visits, I’m committed to being there for your pets when you need me most. You can count on me to offer consistent, attentive care tailored to your pet’s schedule and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a loving and safe environment where my pets feel comfortable and secure. I prioritize their well-being by offering regular meals, plenty of cuddles, and engaging enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. Creating a peaceful, nurturing space is my top priority and your animals would be treated as if they were my own.

Information Mercedez H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to gather as much helpful information as possible to ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable in my care. Please let me know about any allergies, medical conditions, behavioral quirks, or aggressive precursors your pet may have. I also love learning about their favorite toys, treats, routines, and comfort items—anything that helps them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Every detail matters for personalized, stress-free care!

A typical day

While you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet stays happy, active, and mentally engaged. I love spending quality time playing with their favorite toys and introducing stimulating games that match their energy and personality. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or simply running around together, I aim to keep your pet physically active and mentally enriched. For dogs who enjoy walks, we’ll explore the outdoors. For cuddlers, we’ll share quiet time and affection. Your pet’s happiness is always my priority.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have over five years of full-time experience working with animals of all kinds, and a lifetime of caring for my own pets. My background includes hands-on work at horse barns and caring for a wide variety of species—including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small animals, and even exotic pets. I’m deeply passionate about animal care and committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriched environment for every animal I work with. I understand that each pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual needs, personalities, and routines. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family—with patience, compassion, and expert attention. I’m also the proud pet parent of Athena, my 3-year-old Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix. She’s my loyal adventure buddy and comes with me everywhere I can take her—whether we’re camping, hiking, shopping, or discovering new places. She’s friendly, active, and well-socialized, and she brings so much joy to our daily routines. Athena helps keep life exciting, and she reminds me every day just how special the bond between human and animal can be.

Mercedez was able to walk Ita and Nio on short notice. Super punctual and professional. The dogs were happy to see her and I got great photos. Highly recommend!

I feel so lucky to have found Mercedez on Rover! She went above and beyond in every way while looking after my cat. Not only did she handle all the basics perfectly, but she truly took the time to love, play, and bond with my cat as if he were her own. The frequent updates (with pictures and notes) gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear from the very beginning that she’s a natural with animals. My usually shy cat warmed up to her so quickly, which says it all! Mercedez is responsible, trustworthy, and most importantly, a genuine animal lover. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless home. I can’t imagine a better sitter, and I will definitely be booking her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Mercedez is the one!

Mercedez is very easygoing and incredibly sweet. She took care of my senior jack russel terrier, Fred for me while visiting family. She followed my instructions to a T! When I arrived home, it seemed Fred had preferred her over me now! All jokes aside, Mercedez is very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for animals and the treatment of my boy reflects that. I recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!
