Prefers Pets Over People! 🐱🐶

Pet care experience

I would love to be your baby’s best friend while you’re away! My first and only sibling was a cockapoo named Mischief that I treated like my brother from the time I was born (peep my pics to see him in my Barbie car), so you can rest assured that your family will be treated like my family! I have experience with outdoor pets that come and go as they please to spoiled indoor babies that need all of the attention. I have volunteered with the GBHS and have pet sat for so many friends and relatives that it’s hard to keep count! My mom’s dog is a senior with special needs and I have a special place in my heart for sweet babies like her. I have one cat who is very independent and would prefer to be left alone and another cat that is a queen who wants to be cuddled all of the time…so lots of experience with various personalities and temperaments. Whether your pet loves to play all day or nap 24/7, I promise to make sure they are comfortable! 😎

Merelee was amazing!! She took such good care of my pup, Bama, and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was away. She is sweet, responsive, and spoiled my little guy. Highly recommend!!

Merelee can be trusted with my bunnies! And they don’t like everyone ( including me sometimes)! She is mindful and takes care of my fur babies and proactively lets me know stuff. Couldnt thank her enough.

Information Merelee R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything special your pet needs or should avoid. Your pup may come into contact with other dogs while being walked but if you/they would feel more comfortable with them being kept at a safe distance, I can make that happen. We are a treat friendly household, so if you prefer your baby have their own kind of treat or no treats at all, please let me know! If your baby has a certain temperament I should be mindful of or any unique quirks…please let me know as those are my favorite things! ❤️

A typical day

There are LOTS of different kinds of toys in my apartment. From stuffies to chewies to Kongs to puzzles. We also have a lot of different types of beds and even a window seat your baby can watch out! Pups go on daily walks and have playtime scheduled just for them. Cuddles are welcome at all times and treats are available 24/7!

I currently work from home full time and have a very pet friendly home. If you prefer your baby to be in a crate, I have a small carrier as well as a medium sized crate they can use. My pets are all socialized with both cats and dogs and there are plenty of dog and cat toys to keep your pet entertained! Since I work from home, your pet will not be unsupervised and will have eyes on them at all times. They will have access to food and water as much as they could ever want and I can provide potty breaks as often as they need. I have a large walking area and open space around my apartment complex for pups as well as a separate litter box for kitties if your king/queen prefers their own. All of my pets drink from a water fountain that filters but I have plenty of bowls to go around if that is more your pet’s style!
