Dogs and Cats bring me so much joy!

Pet care experience

In addition to taking care of my dog, Merlín also took great care of my my cats. I would also recommend her as a cat sitter.

Merlin is a very caring and responsible cat and dog petsitter. She cared for my dog, Maximilian, numerous times in my home and always did great job. Maximilian adored her.

Merlín was very meticulous in the care of my dog. She made sure my dog was comfortable and happy. Merlín is a responsible dog sitter and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Merlin (M.P.) has been our go-to cat sitter for the last 10 years. She is trustworthy, dependable and our cats love her! She updates us every day with videos of our cats so that we feel secure and know everything is going well. My husband and I highly recommend Merlin to anyone needing a sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I would rather take care of pets in their home...because they tend to be more comfortable there. Also, I appreciate when pet owners let me know how they would like me to care for their pets--aside from giving them love and snuggles.

Information Merlin D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any behaviors your dog may have-- especially if they require special care that is related to them being sick or requires them to take medicine.This way, I'm aware of those needs and can determine if it is a good fit for me to pet-sit for you.

A typical day

Take them out for walks, play and cuddle with them. Have cute back-and-forth verbal exchanges to interact and bond with them. If distance and time allows, take them to the 606 trail so they can experience something new.
