Top rated Merriam dog walkers
“Griffin is such an asset! He is wonderful with Billy and you can tell that he’s very knowledgeable about dogs. He leaves great detailed messages post walk and makes sure your pup is settled and happy before he leaves. I recommend Griffin to all my friends. Billy and I truly appreciate him!”
“Michael has been a wonderful addition to our girl’s daily routine. She is so excited to see him in the morning, and comes back from her walks so relaxed and calm. I cannot thank Michael enough for his care.”
“Sarah is always so great with my dog and he loves going on walks with her! She is so quick to respond to messages and really flexible with my hectic schedule! Would definitely recommend her working with any and all dogs :)”
“Emily was a great find to walk our pup while we were out of town. She’s friendly, reliable, and sent detailed reports with plenty of pics. It was great knowing our dog enjoyed her daily walks without us. We will definitely book her again.”
“Such a kind human whom you can tell loves animals! Thankful for her prompt replies and following the plan specific for our dog. She asks great questions and wants to perform her job well! So appreciated! Would for sure use her services again! Great first experience with Rover!”
“Paul is so good with Rousseau! He always takes great care of him and you can tell just how much Rou loves him by his excitement as soon as he sees Paul or even hears his name. As Rou has gotten older Paul has adjusted his time from longer walks to slow down and take more breaks so he can keep up. We appreciate his attention to those important details for our fur baby! It’s so comforting to know he is in good hands!”
“My job keeps me away from home often, but I'm completely comfortable having Kristy take care of my dog Clifford. He's a beagle who often doesn't care to follow directions, but he does well with her. She handles him firmly but lovingly, and he obviously loves her. Kristy also has dogs of her own, and she has fostered dogs. She's smart, responsible, organized, capable, and energetic. She's also funny, interesting, and likable with humans. She'd be a great choice to care for your dogs or other pets!”
“Lori is wonderful; very sweet, friendly & prompt! She was informative about how the pups enjoyed their walk & even provided photos which was above and beyond ?”
“Sounds like you did great and I can’t thank you enough for the time you took to get her comfortable! I will definitely contact you again!”
“Amazing! Booked today because my dog is going stir crazy after my surgery. She walked same day as booking and was such a great help! Will definitely use again!”
“Lauren has been so great with our pups! She’s given them extra love and made sure they are well taken care of for their lunchtime potty break. Helps us take some stress out of our day knowing we’ve got Lauren taking care of them and we don’t have to rush home from work midday! Highly recommend!”
“Paige is great with my boys! She communicates well, which is so helpful!”
“awesome Kayla - Olezka loved her”
“Dexter loved his intro to Michelle and can’t wait for his new walk time. He comes with a lot of energy and excitement. And Michelle knew exactly how to redirect him.”
“Leslie watched over my pets for a week while I was out of the country, she was easy to contact and took great care of my dogs. She even sent daily updates with adorable photos!”
“Stacey took great care of my pups!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 8 years! I have experience with all size dogs. I recently trained my puppy Dempsey this past year! Love meeting new dogs and Dempsey is very friendly for dogs who get along well with others! I am a full time remote worker. I am willing to stay during the day in some cases. Dog walking can be done in the mornings and evenings M-F and house sitting can be done on weekends! My dogs are well taken care of at home. Our routine usually consists of a short walk in the morning and over lunch. We have a FI collar for our dog which tracks his location and activity levels! Of course we mix in several treats throughout the day. Overall I would say I tend to spoil my dogs slightly.
“Grace is so nice and my dog absolutely loved her!!”
“Caroline has been SO amazing. She is so great with our dog Lima, so kind, helpful, accommodating to anything we needed. She spends great quality time with our dog and we are INCREDIBLY thankful. 10/10 recommend her to look after your pups. 💛🫶🏻”
“Lisa LOVES animals and they know it! She has a calming, trusting aura. She puts their needs first. We have 3 rescue dogs —all with their own issues. One is particular is fearful of anyone new and any new situation. Lisa earned her trust and had her crawling up in the chair to sit with her. She’s an amazing pet & home sitter!”
