Merrell was FANTASTIC! I had never used someone outside of family to watch my dog and I will definitely be rebooking with her! She’s so sweet, kind, and reassuring. I would receive daily updates with photos and videos and she kept me informed of everything. When I had a flight delay and got home way later than expected she did not charge me for an extra day and let me pick her up the next day instead. My dog is so well taken care of and happy! Thank you so much Merrell and I will be rebooking soon!

Merrell took great care of our 8 month old puppy while we were away from her for the first time. Our puppy loved Merrell and seemed eager to stay with her after their first meeting. Seeing our puppy’s excitement in going to Merrell helped us thoroughly enjoy our vacation. Thank you Merrell!

Merrell was absolutely amazing, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving Brutus in her care. Her communication was outstanding throughout his stay, and she kept us updated with so many pictures, which meant the world to us while we were away. She is incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and you can tell she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. Brutus was so well taken care of, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We will absolutely be using Merrell again, and Brutus will definitely be back to see her soon! 😊 Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our big guy!

Merrell took excellent care of Maggie and provided plenty of pictures throughout the time we were on vacation.

Monti and Winston enjoyed their stay! They stayed for 4 nights and we got lots of pictures! I felt very comfortable leaving them and they seemed very tired and played out afterwards!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is extremely important to me - I care for all animals as if they were my own. I'm the type of person to triple-check that collars/harnesses/leashes are correctly secured and that all gates/doors are shut.
