Availability
I am very responsive and try to maintain clear, consistent communication. My availability is kept up to date on my calendar, and I am flexible throughout the day depending on bookings. I can come over for a quick feeding or to spend several hours with your pets, depending on what will benefit them the most. I work remotely, which allows me a lot of flexibility to provide care and attention throughout the day. On rare occasions, I may travel out of town, but I update my calendar well in advance to reflect any changes. I’m always open to coordinating schedules and finding arrangements that work well for both the pet owner and the pets. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to help and provide reliable care!

Safety, trust & environment
I follow a consistent routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. In my own home, my dogs are let out in the morning, midday, and evening, along with daily walks to keep them active and engaged. They are seniors, so I’m experienced with slower paced care and administering medication on a strict schedule, including daily medication for heart disease. I’ve also cared for high energy dogs and puppies! I enjoy keeping them active through walks and play, while always adjusting to their individual needs and energy levels. With cats, I focus on creating a calm, lower stress environments so they can feel safe and build trust at their own pace. I stay on top of litter box cleanliness and make sure they get regular playtime and attention based on their personality. I aim to provide consistent and attentive care for all the animals I take care of!
Information Meryk P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any medicine schedule or any specific preferences you want me to account for when I provide care. I’d love to know favorite types of play, and walking routes as well as comfort-level with other humans or animals while on walks.
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for is active, structured, and tailored to their individual needs. For dogs, I start with a walk where they can explore, get exercise, and enjoy fresh air. I pay close attention to their pace and energy level, allowing time for breaks and making sure they stay comfortable. After walks, I focus on helping them burn off any remaining energy through play or enrichment. If a dog is more relaxed or already tired, I’m happy to shift to a calmer environment and let them rest. With cats, I use toys (string toys work the best) and play/ allow them to hunt and keep them active/ stimulated. I understand that cats have different personalities, so I adjust based on their comfort level. whether they’re playful or prefer a quieter approach. I only take cats outside if they are harness trained, prioritizing their safety at all times. I also make it a priority to create a calm, welcoming environment so pets feel secure and comfortable while building trust at their own pace.

Reviews
Rocky and Daisy loved spending time with Meryk! He was responsible and caring and we are all looking forward to hiring him again.
Meryk did a great job making sure Big Boy was happy and cared for while I was at work. He even stayed a few extra minutes extra to play with the cat wand and sent pictures! 10/10 will hire again.
