Safety, trust & environment

I take safety and trust very seriously. I live alone in a bright, clean, quiet studio apartment in the Financial District, which provides a calm and secure environment for dogs. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors secured, use leashes at all times outside, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

Information Merin C. would like to know about your pet

I love learning each dog’s routine and personality ahead of time. Please let me know about feeding schedules, walking preferences, energy levels, medical needs, or any behaviors I should be aware of. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and at home.

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation. We’ll explore the neighborhood, enjoy sniff breaks, and get fresh air, balanced with downtime so your dog can relax. I love engaging dogs both physically and mentally, whether that’s games, running around, or cozy rest time.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life and have cared for both large and small breeds, including Black Labs and Malteses. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their dogs. I’m very responsible, attentive to routines, and always prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness and tend to spoil them :)

Merin took such amazing care of Luna while we were away. She was incredibly detail oriented, thoughtful, and attentive throughout the entire stay. We got regular updates that gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear she was really observing Luna closely and making sure she was acting like herself, comfortable, and happy the whole time. You can tell Merin genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and treats them with so much patience and love. Luna came home relaxed and well cared for, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend 🤍

Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!
