Doggy Day Care • jan. 11, 2026

Couldn't say good enough things but knew it was kosher when my dog who hates every second away from me saw Meryl night 2 from a city block away and pulled me all the way to her. She's a kind genuine dog lover and couldn't be happier to have receiver her help. From me and Little thanks for making our trip even more special.

Doggy Day Care • aug. 18, 2025

Tons of photos and videos of Milton relaxed and settling in. Lots of helpful communication and several options to help the dogs get used to each other.

My dog was very well taken care of under Meryl supervision. He was given immense attention and love. I was regularly updated with his behavior and activities throughout the day. Very grateful Meryl took care of him!

Meryl is a fantastic dog owner and walker. She’s walked and cared for my dog many times and has even provided medication for them which needs to be done on a very timely schedule. I trust her to both walk my dog and care for her for short and long periods of time with no worry at all. She also always checks in with me.

You will not find a more responsible pet sitter. Meryl has taken Care of all our family dogs (4 different households) with incredible integrity, thoughtfulness and responsibility. She has a way of knowing each animal’s personality and preferences and caters to each . She goes way above and beyond to provide safety and comfort to the animals. Everyone in our family competes for her to watch our beloved animals.
