Kind, patient and keen on details

Pet care experience

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 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.

Meryl did an excellent job looking after our dog Luna and taking care of our house while we were away. She was very caring with Luna and left our house spotless. I would highly recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
