Dog Boarding Merriwood

“Koda always has a blast at Jeff & Beths’s. So grateful she gets to go to such a sweet and safe home to play and cuddle and get so well taken care of. They are the best! Thank you!”

Jodie and Robert

“Kelly took such good care of our little Buster. After initially meeting Kelly it was apparent that she was very experienced when it came to caring for dogs and that she pays attention to every detail. While we were gone she sent multiple updates a day where we could see that our little pup made himself at home very quickly (which is saying a lot because he is an anxious boy). Not only did she take good care of him but she also gave him all of the attention and affection that he’s used to ? I would be so happy to have Buster stay with her again and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of him.”

“Madeleine was great with my dog Julio! She took our very last minute request and was very responsive. She gave updates and photos each day, which put me at ease since Julio is a high anxiety dog. I would definitely book her again!”

Alice F.

“Maria and Kevan are wonderful!! They made our dog feel at home and I love all the photo updates I get from them. They’re very sweet and kind and I would definitely recommend them to any pup.”

Jennifer Z.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the start, Tierra was incredibly considerate of our dog’s routine and needs. We loved getting the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was clear our dog felt right at home at her place and was treated like family. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Kenny M.

“Eiko is always amazing! I can’t say enough about her. She treats Kai like her own which gives me peace of mind when I need someone reliable while I travel.”

Maureen S.

“Danielle is so patient with our new pup! He had an accident and she gave him a belly band with no issues at all. They took him to the beach for his one night stay this time. Chili loves Danielle and her fam!”

Diana N.

“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

Mythili S.

“Angela was awesome with Maple. She gave daily updates and made sure that my very active dog was able to get her energy out every day. Would highly recommend/rebook in the future!”

Jordan P.

“Hey and her husband were amazing hosts to Bowser. They took great care of him and he came back happy as always. Would love to have him watch Bowser again.”

Karan K.

“Chad and his family are amazing! Chad was understanding and communicative throughout the Rover process. His place is truly a property filled with trees and plenty of backyard space for your pup to run and sniff around. Chad is a true professional when it comes to dog sitting, knowing the dogs he cares for very well. He also seems to be a very down-to-earth person that goes the extra mile to be sure your questions are answered and you feel comfortable leaving your furbaby in his care. THANK YOU CHAD & FAM for TLC you showed my family on a holiday weekend. I couldn't have had a better first experience with a Rover sitter. =)”

Megan G.

“Mary did such a fantastic job watching our pup for a week and a half while we were out of the country! Our pup has some specific needs so I was nervous but Mary was so sweet and patient with our pup. The photo updates made it easy to enjoy our vacation. I’d recommend Mary for anyone obsessed with their dogs.”

Shanan P.

“Mariola does an incredible job with our baby every time!! He absolutely loves it there and she is a joy to work with! Cannot recommend enough.”

Lindsey C.

“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”

Michelle S.

“Lee was amazing!! We were really nervous about leaving our elderly pup with someone in their home but Lee definitely eased that anxiety. She kept us updated with pics and check ins as we requested, and gave Arturro lots of cuddles and lovies as we do. We love that she makes every pup feel at home! We will definitely book again!”

Ashley C.

“Thais and Marlene were great. They took great care of Harry while we were out for 10 days visiting family for the holidays. Thais was very responsive to us and sent photos regularly with updates on how Harry was doing. A great experience overall.”

Pedro & Edward G.

“Shannon was great at taking care of Roo during my trip. She was responsive, flexible with pick-up and drop-off times—which was helpful after some last-minute work meetings—sent adorable photos and videos, and made sure everything was okay. Roo had a wonderful time in her beautiful backyard during his stay.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for animals, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom of 2 (ages 3 & 6) with a very open schedule that allows me to go above and beyond for my furry friends! Our home offers a luxurious 3600sf of comfy indoor space, 3 wraparound view decks for birdwatching, sunbathing and cooling off (dogs welcome in our kiddie pool!), and a fully fenced backyard for sniffs and exploration. We're currently a pet free household and only accept one client at a time to ensure your pet has our full attention, a true vacation experience, and LOTS of love. My husband and I are both experienced caregivers of puppies, senior dogs, brachycephalic breeds, and dogs with special needs. Our kids love animals and are eager to help with feedings, walks, games and snuggles, but also know when to step back and give our furry friends space and peace. I'm an avid hiker, gardener, and nature lover, so if your dog loves to hit the trail and go on adventures, I'm always looking for a side kick! Or, if your pup just likes to chill and snack, I get that too, and I'm here for it ☺️ Looking forward to connecting! I generally don't have a schedule. This means that instead of fitting your dog's needs into my schedule, I create a schedule around your dog! Your dog will be treated like an honorable guest and loved like a member of our family. Safety is always our number one priority, and as such your pet will always be closely supervised, protected and guarded from dangers. Because we have young children, all dangerous household items are always locked away. As a gardener, I'm cognizant of what plants are toxic vs edible and will always keep an eye on your pet to ensure they're not getting into anything dangerous. If I bring your dog on adventures or errands, they will always stay right by my side and will never be left in a car, tied up, or in any other unsafe situation. And lastly, we take "gentle hands" and respecting animals VERY seriously in our household, so even our most fragile senior guests can enjoy a peaceful, relaxing stay.

“Milo had the best time with Amanda! She had everything Milo needed during his stay, and sent regular updates. She was flexible with drop off/pick up times and was very responsive. Milo is already excited for his next stay!”

“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”
