Safety, trust & environment

The care I offer is unique to your pet and their needs! If they’ll be joining me at my home, whether for a few days or regularly, they’ll be in a cozy 1200 sq ft home with a large fenced in yard in Broadmoor. My preference whenever possible is to get your pet setup for care here, so I can spend as much quality time as I can with them. But, I am always happy to be flexible for pets who need to be in their own space when their families are invested in their care and comfort.

Information Merritt R. would like to know about your pet

Please share all your dogs needs and preferences with me in your initial message, including any dietary needs, medications, activity requirements, specific times or time windows you would want me to be with your pet, and general location of care (your neighborhood/ zip code or if you’re open to them hanging with me). This helps to ensure I’m available to meet any level of care you want to invest in for your pet.

A typical day

I’m here for whatever care you and your pet want while you’re gone. If a simple quick stroll or wander in the yard is all they need, that works for me. But if you want them to have hour long or more adventures, I love taking long walks, extended fetch sessions, and outings to pet-friendly parks and businesses.

Merritt is a reliable and responsible pet sitter. It is easy to communicate with her and she is doesn’t mind sending updates about our pets while we are away. Since our pups are always excited to see Merritt, we know she is super sweet to them in our absence.

Recommend Merritt 100%! There is no one I would trust more to care for my dogs. Merritt has many years experience with fostering dogs of all sizes, health levels, and temperaments. Merritt has never given up on a dog and is passionate about providing all dogs in her care- no matter how short a time- with love, enrichment, and care. Merritt has taken care of my dogs (two lab/pit mixes) many times and I never had to worry about them. 10/10
