Pet care experience

Active guy who loves pets!

I am a huge animal person (grew up on a farm) and am very tolerant of every type of dog and animal. I am always looking for an excuse to be more active, and am comfortable with pets of every size, shape, and age. I am more than happy to cater to any specific instructions you have for me, as I am quite meticulous and detail-oriented. Reliable transportation, so I am able to accommodate most services in the Cape Cod area (and others per request). I can't wait to meet your dogs and make some new furry friends!

House Sitting • Jan 19, 2026

Merrick watched our dog Cooper at our house over a weekend. He did everything we asked of him in taking care of Cooper. Merrjck was easy to communicate with in advance and kept us informed over the weekend about Cooper's activities. I would definitely use Merrick for any future dog sitting and walking needs.

Merrick has a very caring demeanor and dogs tend to gravitate toward his welcoming disposition. He is detail oriented and meticulous when it comes to tasks at hand. He has cared for our German Shepherd and they took to each other seamlessly. I would highly recommend Merrick and fully trust his ability to provide the same “attention” to anyone’s dog that they would desire and expect from a canine sitter.
