Pet care experience

Dog sitter

New mom of a 4 month year old. I’ll take care of your fur baby like they are my own. Ever since my 20s either my roommates or myself had dogs. Waiting until the little one to be older until we get our own so until then I’ll care for yours. Friends and neighbors have leaned on me to take out their dogs or cats when they were away on trips or at work during the day. I follow details very well as to how to care for your pet and ensure you get an update and a photo each time. Any questions feel free to reach out.

Safety, trust & environment

I would ensure that the pet is care. That there is nothing that they can get into. If I see something I would ensure the owner knows and resolve whatever it was to ensure the pet was safe.

I’ve had Merissa watch my cats several times now, and I can’t recommend them enough! I have two cats who don’t get along, which can make things a bit tricky, but she handled the situation perfectly, keeping them separated, rotating their time out, and making sure each one got attention and playtime. She was also great about keeping the house tidy despite the usual chaos of toys and litter, and I always came home to a clean, calm space. I also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She’s reliable and thoughtful and I would definitely recommend her!

Merissa is wonderful with my dog Indie; she is trustworthy, responsible and loves animals! Indie can be a bit feisty at times and Merissa is so patient with her. I have hired her over 10 times to walk Indie and will continue to use her.

Let me know if there is anything special your pet needs or likes that I can support or help with. I know some dogs don’t like bikes or some cats need to be in a certain room.
