Love dogs of all kind!

Pet care experience

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.

River seemed to have had a great time with Merica. She even taught her to respond to “paw”

Merica was fantastic! She took great care of both my pugs and kept me updated throughout their stay with photos and updates. Thank you! Ozzie and Iggy had a great time!

Information Merica R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer Hypoallergenic dogs. Some breeds already have personally traits that are genetic but would still like to know how each dog is. Anything I need to watch out for, such as if the dog does not like other dogs, strangers and such. How often and how much to feed and walk them.

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.
