Merley is so great with animals. My dogs loved it so much, he didn’t want to leave. Thank you!

My 21 month old golden doodle, Cali, recently stayed with Merley for almost a week and had a great stay. Merley treated Cali like she was one of the family-taking her to the dog park, providing special treats, playing and even taking her to get a pup cup at Starbucks!! She has a very well mannered 4 year old Australian Shepard named Bruno, who Cali got along well with, as I received a picture of them playing tug-a-war something she had never done with another dog before! Merley sent lots of photos throughout the week, so I knew Cali was fine. I highly recommend Merley and would 100% rebook with her!
