Highlights
Pet care experience
I just adore all dogs!
Current update! I am able to board IN my home now. Management has approved this! This only requires paperwork on your dog that I will fill out and keep on file at the office where I live. Regardless I can do an in home stays for you (I charge just a little more for that) or I can board for you at my home. Just let me know the situation that works BEST for you! Regarding away stays at your home: I will take care of your dog, feed and do daily walks and will also bring in all of your mail and packages. I prefer that you're not too far. Home stays from Windsor to Petaluma will be fine. I do cat care as well. I am the former owner of a Russian Blue Manx and am familiar with cats and cat breeds. I had a beloved Pug for 14 years who I miss dearly! About this sitter: I LOVE dogs! I am a dog person and walking them keeps me fit and kind of "centers" me on a daily basis! Why I love dog sitting Forever! I have been pet sitting since 1995! My experience administering medication I am a pharmacy technician and am fine with that. I don't do injections though.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
My dog loved her time with Merrill! She settled in quickly and seemed well rested and happy after a couple nights. I would definitely recommend booking with Merrill for your trip!
Merrill was extremely respectful and trustful from the beginning. She cared so well for my dog and left my home very clean when I returned. I will definitely be asking Merrill for care in the future!🙏
Merrill was great as usual. She made sure to send photos and give little updates. Brewster came home tired and happy.
We are repeat customers and just as happy as last time. Our dog came home healthy and happy—thank you!
Merrill was amazing! She took excellent care of my puppy Tyson! She provided frequent updates with photos so we knew he was in great hands. She even went above and beyond and bought some allergy meds for my pup when his ear was bothering him
Merrill was such a caring and wonderful sitter for our dog! She constantly kept us updated and we felt assured our dog was in the best hands and got the best care. She came back home happy and looking very healthy!

Schedule
We do lots of walks because I like to walk as much as possible. When I'm out running errands, your pet will be crated if that's your preference. I'll be giving your pet lots of love and hugs!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will have as much play time with your pet as possible. They will get their walks in and their treats after their potty breaks. I feed them per feeding schedule and gives treats and medications when needed.
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in his/her own bed that you provide for his/her crate. While I am home your pet is out of the crate. It depends on what's best for your dog in your home. Time I'll spend with your dog Several hours!
