Safety, trust & environment

I take care of pets as if they are the center of the universe! They have my undivided attention and get all the lovins and rubbins from me while they are in my care.

Information Meri "Jay" D. would like to know about your pet

Do they have any known reactivity? (cars, people, dogs, squirrels, food) How have they been expressing their anxiety? What are their usual habits? Do they have any known allergies? Do they take medications? How and When are they administered? What’s their usual schedule? Are they crated? What are their sleeping arrangements?

A typical day

I love to let the pets set the pace of the day! I am constantly checking their body language to understand what they need! And then I provide all that they need, whether thats pets, exercise, treats, or more!

Jay did house sitting for me for 4 night. Money well spent. I got regular pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. When I got home my house was even better than I left it. Definitely going to be booking Jay again.

Jay is amazing! She sends so many photos and gives great updates. She’s always been on time and we always come home to happy pets and a clean house! I know when Jay is here our pets are getting plenty of love and playtime and attention. It’s a huge relief being able to leave my pets with someone I trust.

Meri “Jay” did a great job looking after our dog and cat! We came home to happy pets and a clean house. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos! She even did enrichment games with my dog which he loves. Would definitely use her again!
