Pet care experience

Tell your dog I said hi!

I grew up with dogs and just love spending time with them. I have 5 years of occasional dog boarding and pet sitting experience. I also have volunteered for a dog rescue in Germany/Greece as well as here in Canada and have been a foster for puppies from Labrador and rescues from Texas since 2023. Me and my dog Murphy spend all day together as I work remotely and we usually always have time and space to welcome other dogs into our home!

She took great care of our pup and sent plenty of updates and photos. Our dog was spoiled with cuddles and made a doggie friend too.

Merle is such a caring and loving pet parent! I would have absolutely no hesitation leaving my cat with her, she’d give him the best care I could hope for. With her own pup, she treats him like the prince he is! He’s given constant cuddles, love, walkies, and experiences in our beautiful province! She’ll make an excellent pet sitter/walker on rover!!

Safety, trust & environment

Just give me some instructions and tell me your dog's quirks and needs and I will work around that. I also love teaching dogs new tricks! I have been a foster for rescue dogs for quite some time now and have worked with highly traumatized dogs, so me and my dog Murphy are used to special needs and behavior in other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the vibe I'm happy to give your dog all the snuggles and cuddles or tire them out on long walks around the neighborhood. I love teaching dogs new tricks and basic obedience. My dog Murphy is very spoiled and has an extensive selection of dog toys in the house that he's willing to share with any other dog in the house.

16 to 40 lbs
Merle can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know your pet's quirks and needs I'm sure I can accommodate it. If you feel more comfortable we can have a meet and greet on neutral ground with my dog, he is a little grump but ignores any other dog most of the time.
