Highlights
Pet care experience
Love dogs of all kind!
I've been taking care of my neighbors' dogs since they were puppies. Helping with training, baths, grooming and walking for the last 5 years. When on long vacations, owners will ask me first before anyone else and I make sure I take care of each of their dogs' needs. If there's anything that seems alarming, I will call owners or if they have a vet listed. I have experiences with small to large dogs and can take care of more than 1 dog at a time. I will be available as much as I can and if something comes up, I will notify the owners in advance. The first thing on my list of responsibilities for dog care is what is best for the dog.

Merica was great! Super responsive, friendly and reliable, and Moose was very happy during his time with her. Will be happy to book her again!

Thank you, Merica, for taking such great care of Dante! He looked so happy and well taken care of. I really appreciate your kindness and attention.
I can’t say enough good things about Merica. she’s truly amazing with my dogs. She sends thoughtful updates and photos daily, which always puts my mind at ease. My dogs absolutely love her!


Merica is truly the best! She takes such great care of my dogs every time — I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her hands. She sends the sweetest photo updates, and it’s clear my pups absolutely adore her. Reliable, loving, and communicative — I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a happy tail-wagging crew!


Merica is wonderful! She looked after our senior pup with such care. Now she looks after the newest member of our family - our 5 month old puppy. We don’t trust our dogs with just anyone but we trust them with Merica and are so grateful to have her care for them.

Very caring and responsive!

A typical day
Chelsea Pier is close by as well as a Dog park. That will be where I take the more active dogs. Older and or smaller dogs that tire faster will be walked around a few blocks. The amount of walking will depend on the owner's preference. At home, I like to play fetch with dogs and repeat tricks with them. Otherwise, will have them relax and take naps.
