About Merle & Michael M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m really good at following instructions, so I’m happy to go about it the way you prefer. Without instructions, I would feed them twice a day and take them for regular walks (every few hours) of which at least one is long (let’s say an hour). When at home, I like getting cozy with them, playing with them and maybe even working on new tricks together.

Information Merle & Michael M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special preferences or what the perfect day looks like for them! I’m excited to make that dream come true.
A typical day
I absolutely love taking dogs for long walks in the park and playing some fetch if they’re into that. However, if the dog prefers more low energy activities I’m also great at belly rubs and indoor play.

Pet care experience
My name is Merle and I’m the main sitter. Michael (Misha) is my husband who helps take care of any pets that we board at our place. I grew up with dogs and have been looking after my friends’ and family’s dogs for as long as I can remember! My favorite thing to do is taking the pup for a long walk in nature or city parks and perhaps playing some fetch. We also have a little dog of our own. Her name is Rosie and she is the sweetest old soul: a chihuahua and rat terrier mix who spends her days chilling, cuddling and joining us for our many walks. She is friendly with other dogs.

Reviews

Benny had a great time snuggling and going to the park. Thank you again Merle, Misha, & Rosie for taking care of Benny!

Will rebook for sure!

Merle is so nice and reliable! From the first meet and greet to the actual walk, everything was smooth and stress-free. Great communication and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog in Merle’s care. (P.s., Rosie is also super cute)
Merle was fantastic! She stepped in last minute to cat sit for Kibby, which was such a lifesaver. She sent regular updates and photos. Kibby looked happy and content in every one, she also kept the litter clean and made sure Kibby was always fed. Would absolutely book again!
