Pet care experience

Ready to care for your fur babies!

I’ve been around dogs all my life. I have the biggest and softest heart towards all kinds and sizes of dogs! I’ve dog sat for multiple family members and friends. After taking a few vet classes and shadowing at some vet clinics, I’m fairly familiar with a dogs different behaviors and needs. I love every one like my own!

Safety, trust & environment

I recently adopted my baby boy Max and we’re working on socializing. Bringing him along on walks, long stays and car rides would help tremendously with that.

Meriya watched our Boxer, Scarlet, for a week while we were on vacation and we were so thankful for her! Because she spent a lot of time in our home, she asked ahead of time if she could bring her dog, Max, and we gladly said yes because our dog loves pup friends. They did so well together and it was nice to know our girl had so much time with others while we were away. We’d definitely request Meriya again in the future!!

Meriya has a way with dogs unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. My dog is a notorious people-hater…he barks his head off at anyone who comes near him unless they live in our house. He’s a ferocious guard dog. And yet, after just a few visits, he was eating out of her hand like she was his best friend. Meriya loves dogs more than just about anything. She cares for them and loves on them like a mother tends to her children. When she got a puppy last November, a toy maltipoo named Max, she was completely in love from the moment she saw him. All the way home, she was cuddling him and getting him used to her…in the months since, she’s trained him and raised him as well as a puppy could ever ask for. Any dog that gets to go on a walk with Meriya is in for a treat! She’s the best a dog could ever ask for.

Schedule

I typically work 6am-noon every weekday as a barista. This can be super flexible. I’m available to care for pets in the late afternoons, evenings and during the weekends. I cannot get enough of being around them! So caring for dogs is the perfect way for me to make some money to help pay off student debt!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Meriya can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about any specific needs your dog has. If they are in a specific feeding schedule and/ eat a specific measurement of food. If they require any special care or attention to anything please make that known ahead of time! I want to make sure they are cared for to the best of my ability.
