Pet care experience

Furry Fun, Trusted Care

As someone who was in the veterinary field for 8 years, I bring professional-level care and peace of mind to every visit. I also had worked at a boarding facility for 3 years! Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing a gentle touch, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. My calm, patient approach helps pets feel safe and comfortable—even the shy or nervous ones. I’m also confident with administering medications, caring for seniors etc. Overall I understand how to help them feel safe and loved while you're away. I take my time, build trust, and treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re not just cared for, but genuinely comforted.

Safety, trust & environment

I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and the family’s preferences, so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting. I adapt to each home’s setup and follow your instructions closely—whether that means sticking to feeding routines, respecting boundaries, or keeping energy calm and consistent. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels secure, understood, and well cared for

Mercedez has once again managed to win over our big Manny cat full of neurosis as well as Samantha, the crotchety old lady, and remain friends with Moe-I-Love-Everyone. She handled the magical disappearing cat with patience. She's wonderful with updates and pictures. I'd recommend Mercedez and will definitely book again.

Mercedez was communicative, attentive, responsive, and respectful. I’m very pleased and will definitely ask her to dogsit again in the future.

Mercedez was excellent! Treated our fur-babies like they were her own. Our cat Cheddar and dog Gracie will be excited to see her next time. Love her!!

Mercedez once again did a great job watching our cats. She's responsive and very good at communication. She dealt ably with the regular meds for Samantha, our senior cat, and for Moe after his dental surgery. I'd recommend Mercedez without reservations.

Mercedez is such a gem! Her communication is fantastic and she took the best care of our dog. We are so lucky to have met her and can’t wait to use her again in the future.

To give your pet the best care possible, I appreciate knowing about any specific behaviors, preferences, or routines ahead of time. Whether it’s how they react to new people, other animals, certain noises, or being alone—I want to understand what makes them feel safe and what to avoid. Let me know what they love, what they don’t, and any daily habits or rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know, the more I can make their time with me feel just like home.
