Merium stayed with our dog for a couple of days during the new year holiday and we felt like our dog was very cared for. Our dog get anxious with fireworks and Merium went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely rebook and recommend Merium!

Merium is above and beyond a great pet setter. Everything was clean when we got home and received daily updates and pictures. I cannot recommend Merium enough. We’ll use again for sure.

Merium was awesome with our 2 dogs. Our GSD is pretty dog reactive and human reactive if she’s never met you and you start off too strong. She did a great job finding ways to bond with our GSD and give her the comfort and security that breed requires. Very pleased

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.
