Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already care for multiple cats of my own every day. I’m currently available Wednesday evenings, Thursdays, and Fridays for drop-in visits and pet sitting. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets are fed, comfortable, and given attention while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet I care for. I understand how important routines are for animals, especially cats, and I carefully follow feeding instructions, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and focus on making pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Information Merlyn L. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pets, I like to know about their routines, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, favorite toys, and any behaviors or special needs I should be aware of. I understand every animal is different, and I always try to make the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for both pets and owners.

A typical day

A typical visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I enjoy giving animals attention based on their personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, or more independent. I also like sending owners updates and pictures so they can feel reassured while away from home.

Pet care experience

I’ve always been very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I previously worked as a pet sitter caring for a home with 7 cats and understand how important routine, cleanliness, patience, and attention are for pets while their owners are away. I also volunteer with Catsbury Park cat rescue and currently care for 6 cats of my own, so I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs.

Merlyn is a cat whisperer. She is trustworthy and loving. She took care of my cats for several years whenever I went anywhere, and she treated them like her own. I wish she lived closer, I miss her help and all around great energy. Five paws!

I can’t praise Merlyn enough. She was my personal cat sitter for years, and I always felt at ease leaving my pets in her care. She treats animals as if they were her own, and it's clear from the moment you meet her that she genuinely cares for them. Animals respond positively to her. I would highly recommend her time and time again. 10/10
