I'll be your dog's best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved all animals for as long as I can remember. I started volunteering at an animal shelter when I was 9 years old, and shortly thereafter got my first dog. As I got older I continued to work at the animal shelter, but also got experience working with other animals. I volunteered at the Alaska Sealife Center, worked alongside vets during sled dog races, and have worked as a vet assistant for multiple years. I am currently going to school at UAF, majoring in Biology and completing pre-vet requirements. I previously attended Bowdoin College in Maine, where I volunteered at the local Humane Society and was captain of the equestrian team. Working with animals is my passion, and every moment spent with a dog is precious. I've had a lot of experience with animals, and will keep your dog safe and happy!

Meret took great care of my dog Max. She was really good at communicating with me to figure out logistics of dropping of and picking up my dog. I had to leave town last minute and gave Meret relatively little notice, but she was really awesome at accommodating me and helped me out a lot. Max needs to be given multiple medications a day, which Meret was skilled at giving to him and was responsible at remembering. Meret was really good at taking Max and her own dogs out to play and run on the trails. Meret and my whole rover experience was wonderful and I will definitely keep using this whenever I need a dog sitter when I leave town. I was comfortable and felt at ease leaving Max in Meret's care. Thanks Meret!

Meret was absolutely wonderful! She is extremely knowledgeable of pet health and care (she has worked in vet clinics and with mushing dogs for quite a few years). Meret also took great care of my house and all the errands I needed done while I was gone. She stayed at my house overnight and cooked in my kitchen, leaving everything spotless. She is very trustworthy and responsible and I would definitely have her take care of JJ again anytime. Meret has her own dogs, Lili and Loki, who were both playful and well behaved. Her two dogs got along great with JJ. Thanks Meret!!

Meret is THE dog person! She has a lot of experience with sled dogs and when she watched our energetic, young malamute-husky mix for ten days, she let me know how everything was going periodically and whenever I checked in. Our dog is a handful, but she handled her well and took her on fun hikes with her own sweet retired sled dog. She was careful and loving with our pup and I'm sure she will be with anyone else's dog! She's a great dog sitter!

Meret was a wonderful pet sitter! She took great care of my dog and was clearly very knowledgeable of dog behavior and medical needs. She was very clean and respectful while staying at my home. I would ask her to watch my dog again anytime and absolutely recommend her to others. Thank you for the help, Meret!
