Premium Attentive Pet Care

Hi, we’re Mersal and Cora! We’re a family built on trust, respect, and fun, and we extend that same warmth to our guests. We make sure to keep you updated at least 3 times per day (morning, afternoon, evening) with pictures and videos, so you can feel connected. I also offer local pickup and drop-off for your convenience. Our favorite activity is going for neighborhood walks—long or short, depending on your dog’s energy and ability. It’s a great way for us to bond and explore together. Cora is super friendly and loves having a play buddy for some fun in the yard. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, so your pup will be in good hands. I’d be happy to set up a meet-and-greet with our dogs. The most important thing is that everyone gets along, so they can have a fun and comfortable stay.

Toby had a great time with Merzal and Cora. Unfortunately, Toby, who I rescued 6 months ago, at times barked excessively. Merzal was extremely professional about it! I received timely photos that were amazing!

Mersal was terrific. The day I was scheduled to drop off Ramona, we had a minor issue that required a vet visit. This not only delayed our drop-off time but also involved Ramona needing medication while she stayed with Mersal. Mersal took it all in stride, provided ongoing updates along with some very sweet pictures, and Ramona made a new friend with Cora, Mersal's dog. This was the first time that Ramona spent any extended time with another dog and it was clear that she and Cora bonded. I definitely recommend Mersal and I plan to use her again in the future.

It was our first time boarding our dogs, one of which has separation anxiety. Mersal was amazing— very involved with the pups, taking them on walks and playing fetch. We received frequent updates/photos, allowing us to feel at ease throughout their stay. She will definitely be our go-to sitter in the future!

Mersal is a lovely human and a gem of a Rover. Mersal sent tons of photos and videos. I could tell my Reggie was happy and relaxed with her and Cora.

Mersal is the best! My dog is so at home there, he makes friends so easily under her guidance, and I never have to worry that he’s in the best hands. Thank you Mersal!
