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!

Merrell was great. She sent pictures and was very responsive. Very easy drop off and pick up, and I knew Millie was in great hands! Would definitely use Merrell again!

Merrell is our top choice when we need a dog sitter. Kora always had a good time there

We very much enjoyed having Dahlia stay with Merrell. She was very good at communicating. We will definitely use her services in the future.

This is the second time we’ve used Merrell for our English Cocker while we were visiting family in Columbia. Our dog loves her and ran right up to her when we dropped him off. We got plenty of pictures and updates for his stay. Highly recommend Merrell.

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.
