**PLEASE READ! I have notes about dog walking and house sitting to see if I’m a good fit for your needs** 🐾 DOG WALKING: I’m Meri of “Pawsitively Meri” and I would love to have your pup join mine and Shiva’s pack! We are servicing the NE corner of Seattle neighborhoods (Maple Leaf, Pine Hurst, Olympic Hills, and Meadow Brook mostly). We aim to be out rain or shine Monday-Friday between 10:30-2pm for an hour. Listed below are COST, EXPECTATIONS, and REQUIREMENTS to see if I’m the right fit for you and your pup(s). 🐾 _____COST:_____ As needed (not scheduled): 50$/day (and dependent on availability). 1-2 Days each week: 45$/day 3-4 Days each week: 40$/day 5 Days each week: 35$/day Additional dog: +10$/each All walks need to be paid for beforehand. Day of drop ins are subject to availability and must be requested/confirmed before 10am. I will adjust the price of the drop in accordingly to what is scheduled (as the default for 1 hour is 50$). 🐾 __EXPECTATIONS:__ - Park play at Magnuson, Ridge Crest, North Acres, or Green Lake when the weather isn’t too muddy. - Walks around Paramount Park, Burke Gilman, or Maple Leaf when it’s wet. - Light training/reinforcement of basic commands (sit, down, and come). Liver and heart treats are my preferred choice of treat to help with this. - Pictures - EXTREME WEATHER: 80’s and higher, we will aim to be near water or limit our time outside to 20-30 minutes. 32 and lower: shorter time outside to make sure no one gets too cold Heavy rain/storms: we’ll limit our walk to 20-30 minutes. - Snow: Expect the walk to be canceled and payment for that day will go towards the next walk. - I will have some towels to help dry off your pup. Please have your own in your home for an additional wipe down if you would like to avoid wet dog or dirt in other areas of your house. 🐾 __REQUIREMENTS:__ - At least a year old - 60lbs or less, no breed restrictions. - Well socialized, otherwise it’ll be a case by case decision if I can take on socializing your pup with the pack. - A copy of their recent vaccine history, emergency numbers that I can keep. Updates yearly. - Must be altered (spayed/neutered) - Able to walk a mile minimum. - MUST HAVE BACK UP CARE! One of my biggest worries is not being able to make it to work. And while I want to move mountains to make sure your pet is taken care of, it is not feasible for me to guarantee that. Life happens and I never want your fur baby to be left without care, so please have a game plan in case I cannot make it in. 🐾 If all that works, schedule me today! I look forward to doing a meet and greet with you and your pup! 🐾 HOUSE SITTING: I am a duo with my Dober Collie mix. Shiva is my ESA and I work hard with her to have her well mannered. Overnight stays will require her to be with me. My rates currently are 100$/night in which I can leave for 6 hours periods of time. Pets that need more attentive care (can’t be alone more than 3 hours at a time), I have to charge an additional 50$/night as that limits my ability to more flexibly tend to other jobs I have. 🐾 NAIL TRIMS: 20$ nail trims are things I offer. I use clippers and a dremel. Willing to work with any temperament and strive to make it a non stressful experience. This may mean multiple trims to help the pup/cat build confidence and a relationship with me. The goal is to not punish the dog or cat for their valid feelings. All the treats. All the pets. Restraints, muzzles, and medicine as needed, but not the go to.
