Merium was great for our two dogs! One of our dogs had just had a tooth extraction and needed a little extra care while she recovered. Merium was on top of it and made sure she was as comfortable as possible.

You'd be mistaken if you thought you could find a better, more qualified dog boarder than Merium! She is absolutely amazing. My dog occasionally might have seizures but that didn't phase here at all. She was familiar with and knew how to handle. She is great at communicating and wants to provide your dog with an enjoyable experience away from home. Mine sure did! Highly recommend and will use her again, without a doubt!

Our 13 year old Great Pyrenees had a wonderful weeklong visit with Merium. Thank you! Will be requesting your services again soon.

Would 100% recommend her!! Our original dog sitter couldn't do watch them so we found her and she was so amazing. Very responsive and organized since day 1. She gave us daily updates, pictures, and videos. They were super happy when we brought them back and even gave tips on brushing our 7month sheepadoodle and types of joint supplements for our 12yr old. She is a certified trainer and knows how to take care of the dogs so we would trust her to watch them for a long vacation and not worry about their stress or safety.

We had a fairly short notice trip and needed to leave our two dogs for a week. We took them for a daycare first the week before, and they were super excited to go back when we dropped them off for trip.

Safety, trust & environment

The dogs have over a quarter acre fenced in yard to enjoy. I do regular activities, enrichment, and occasional field trips to ensure your pup has a vacation as great as your's while you're gone. All my time is dedicated to caring for, playing with, and hanging out with the dogs. I utilize gates and different rooms to separate dogs out to ensure that they are paired up not just as dogs who tolerates one another, but as dogs who truly enjoy one another's company and thrive together. I require all dogs be crate trained for safety at night, meals, and when I have private training clients at the house.

A typical day

From pool parties, doggy board games, couch snuggles, fetch in the yard, puzzle feeders, play groups, enrichment chews, and novel experiences there's always something fun for your pup here.

Merium can host up to 10 pets per night
I can accommodate dogs that have behavioral issues including but not limited to: anxiety, human aggression, and dog aggression so long as they are disclosed. Disclosure ensures I can build the best possible and safest experience for your dogs. I have dog cpr and first aid experience (though I am due for recertification), and am comfortable administering various medications and handling different medical needs. All dogs are required to be up to date on vaccines, and I send a list of things required to bring, optional bring, and recommended to bring with all boarding confirmations for ease of packing. Everything I do, I do for the dogs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
