Your pups home away from home!

Pet care experience

Going somewhere and can't take your best friend with you? Come visit me! I live in Springfield, VT; close to the nature trails, I walk my dogs there every day, or we go for a hike up Ascutney mountain. Animals are my passion. I'll do everything I can to make your pup comfortable and have a great experience. I've had dogs in my home for as long as I can remember. I worked in a doggy daycare for 4 years and loved every minute of it. I handled around 60 dogs almost every day at work; so I know that every dog is different. I take the time to get to know each and every one of them, so I am prepared for anything. I strive to make my house feel like your dog's home away from home. I have a fully fenced in yard, but I do not leave the dogs outside or together unattended. I make sure all of the dogs get plenty of time outside to play, I have a small pool for them to play in the yard as well. I have cameras in the kitchen, living room, playroom, porch, and backyard so I’m able to see the dogs at all times. I feed everyone separately and have extra crates, blankets and toys that they can use at my house. I take pictures and/or videos of the dogs to send daily, because who doesn’t want that daily dose of cuteness?! I am a registered child care provider and I work from my home so I my schedule is pretty flexible for drop offs and pick-ups and I am home with the dogs all day. I have a fully fenced-in yard with a security system to keep eyes on at all times. I have my own dogs that are very friendly and love to play.

Merridith always does a great job watching our dog and cat. They are getting older and needier, but she always goes the extra mile to make sure they are cared for when we’re out of town.

Merridith was great! I went to VT for a retreat and needed last minute pet sitting for my pup. She did a great job helping Mirko feel at home with her animals and giving him the nurturing he needed. She sent me pictures and was very communicative. I will be having her watch Mirko the next time I'm up in Vermont! Fantastic petsitting for my pup! Thanks!!

Information Merridith H. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs big and small. I would like to know about your dogs behavior. If they have any special needs or routines? What their play styles are? Are they crate trained? Are they good with other animals, people, children?

A typical day

Your pooch will get to go for multiple walks a day, go hiking, play ball in the backyard, go swimming (if weather permits and you're okay with it) and recieve extra snuggles and love!
