Ratings and reviews
Merium took excellent care of our pup. I would book again and I would recommend her to anyone who needs their pup looked after for a few days. She was very accommodating to Bella’s routines and sent updates/pictues/videos.
Merium was so great with my dogs!
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!
She is very patient. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. She gave updates each day with pics and texts. Dakota was a bit sick while there,but Merium took great care with her. They haven’t boarded in about eight years. My babies my heart. They were extremely hungry when they got home. Other than that, l guess they are unscathed. I would definitely recommend Merium to any loving and concerned pet parent.
Our 13 year old Great Pyrenees had a wonderful weeklong visit with Merium. Thank you! Will be requesting your services again soon.

Schedule
I am home most days full time, however some days I leave for 2-3 hours for private training clients, in that time all dogs are kenneled or otherwise contained for safety.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.

- 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.
