Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for dogs at home. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with no access to anything harmful. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, needs, and routines to ensure they feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or rest, I always provide a peaceful and caring space where dogs can relax and feel at home. Their well-being always comes first.

A typical day
I offer engaging, fun-filled activities for high-energy dogs, ensuring they stay active, mentally stimulated, and well-exercised. Your dog will enjoy safe, structured play while receiving loving care.

Pet care experience
Ever since I started having my own dogs, I’ve learned so much through personal experience and doing my own research. I’m not a professional, but I know how to truly care for dogs with love and dedication.
Reviews
Merlyn made an hour visit to Andy and all went well...sent pictures of Andy outside...he really likes going on walks, too. Would use her services again.


We have two excitable dogs, but, even at the meet and greet, I knew they were in good and calming hands. Merlyn's check-ins with photos of her visits were phenomenal in letting us know how the dogs were doing while we were away.

EXCELLENT! And Trooper LOVES her! 💙

Merlyn was so attentive to Trooper and that was evidenced by the continuous text messages, pictures, and videos!! Trooper looked so happy, engaged, and was getting plenty of love and cuddles!! WONDERFUL!! She took him on car rides, out to different places to go for walks, and pup cups too!!♥️
