Pet care experience

Kind, patient and keen on details

A lifelong dog person with 2+ years of professional pet care experience and 15 years of life with my own four-legged best friend, Simba ♥️ I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new, and I bring the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with a range of dogs — from gentle seniors to energetic rescues — including those who are anxious, reactive, or just need a little extra patience. My focus is always on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

Meryl is the best! She has been walking Molly for 2 months, and she is always communicative and very responsible. She also gives Molly her medication whenever she needs it. I highly recommend her!

5 out of 5 will hire again. Senior dog with complex medical needs was well cared for, the plants were watered and the house was clean when we came home. On top of that she handled some maintenance issues while we were away which we are extremely grateful for. We felt we could truly relax while on vacation.

Meryl is great. She took great care of Milo on his walks and always kept me in the loop of her arrival to pick him up and how Milo did on his walks.

I would like to know if they have any special needs, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, food and exercise routines. I would also love to talk about their favourite spots - indoor and outdoor.
