Experienced vegan animal caregiver
Pet care experience
Extremely experienced animal caregiver with years of tending to horses, dogs, turtles, birds, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, cats, and monitors! I was a member of the Future Farmers of America, United States Pony Club, and United States Eventing Association (competitive horseback riding). I own my own home with an open yard for the dogs to play. I am fully equipped to give dogs the happiest experience possible while their owners are out of town. I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and all tempers. As someone who spent the majority of their life caring for horses, dogs are easy for me to tend to. I can text you pics and videos and ensure a happy stay full of fun and comfort leaving your dog calm and happy. Please note that I have a drop off/pick up time frame: between 9 AM and 9 PM. This means if you have an 8 AM flight then your pup will need to be dropped off the night before. And if you have a flight that lands at 10 PM you will need to pick up the next morning. These extra days need to be added into the reservation. Thank you for understanding :) *If your dog destroys anything while they are booked with me the owner is liable and agrees to cover all replacement/repair costs* I am currently working from home so I am able to be home most of the time - the max I’ll leave for is about 3 hours I have a fenced in yard shared and am able to have my door open to allow access whenever I’m home - the yard is filled with fun things to smell and tons of toys!
Reviews
Merissa is awesome! Our dogs LOVE her. Highly recommend.
I feel grateful to have found Merissa for our dog’s 4 night stay. After meeting her and seeing her place, I felt confident that he was in good hands and in a safe place. She sent photos daily which was very nice. A perfect stay.
Merissa was extremely sweet and took great care of our puppy! They even went hiking during our baby’s one week stay. Great experience overall!!
Merissa is kind, accommodating, and has a great rapport with dogs. We had a last minute addition of a medication for one of our dogs and she graciously handled the change and took wonderful care of her. We’re so grateful Merissa was able to watch our pups and made our trip away much less stressful. Would definitely recommend her!
