Dog Walking Mertz

About: I have experience in a wide variety of animal care including cats, dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, and sugar gliders) horses and goats. I am skilled in dispensing oral medications as well as subcutaneous fluids and medications. I also have experience volunteering in animal rescue and animal education groups. I currently work full time at a law firm downtown. If you are located in the Midtown or Downtown areas, I am able to provide services early morning, midday and evening Monday thru Friday. I can service other locations morning and afternoon Monday thru Friday. Weekends I can provide services anytime. I do not provide care in my home as I have my own pets who sometimes do not play well with strangers. I can provide inhome care at the client's home. I can stay overnite or not depending on your pet's needs. I try to stay as close to the pets normal schedule as possible for feeding, walking, and playtime to avoid putting more stress on them while you are away.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 5 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, needs, and routines. I truly love being around animals and always make sure my number one priority is that every dog I care for feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. I am more than happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, or just lots of attention and company. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule, and I make sure to set aside plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible and happy to work with each owner’s schedule and their dog’s normal routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I make sure dogs are supervised and given plenty of attention, and I’m respectful of each client’s home and any specific rules they have for their pet.

About: I have been a dog sitter before and I have a dog of my own which I have had since she was a puppy, I love all animals and love to take care of them! I’m newly married and don’t have a job, I mostly just tend to our house and would love to have something to do during the day! I have a fenced in back yard and a spacious living room in my house, both great for plenty of play time and running around!

“Kaleb has been such a huge help with our 2 labs! He is calm and confident, prompt, knowledgeable and communicates well. He has come up with several helpful suggestions as I work to keep the dogs entertained and mentally stimulated, and has no trouble reinforcing their existing training. After just a few visits, it is clear the dogs recognize he has come to take them for a walk and are happy to see him! Highly recommend Kaleb!”

About: I worked as a kennel technician, veterinary assistant, and grew up in a home with small, medium, and large animals. some furry and some had scales! I am currently not working as I recently moved to this area and I am excited for an opportunity to take care of someone’s baby! I like to be able to adjust to the pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule so being able to attend to a pets strict schedule is very important to me!

About: Pets have always been apart of my life! I grew up with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have even had a few pet birds! As a teenager & young adult, pet sitting has been a frequent side gig of mine that has brought me joy and a way to help support my growing family. I work remotely and am home for most of the day. My husband is also usually home during the day. While your pets stay with us, they will have plenty of love and attention! I have a large backyard that is fully fenced. For your pets safety, they will always be supervised and not left alone outside or be exposed to extreme heat or cold. I take daily walks with my children and your pet, always leashed for safety.  I keep a large crate with comfortable bedding for sleeping. I do have 2 toddlers who adore animals & the entertainment that often comes along with them. Because of this, I can only accept pets that are known to be good with children. We also have a Jack Russel mix named Sadie. She is good with other dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of animals as long as I can remember and I enjoy it immensely. I use to raise and show Boxers and Dobermans. After that I started fostering for a number of different rescues so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and situations. I also helped with training so the dogs were more adoptable. I have had different sizes of dogs from a Lhasa Apso to Great Danes. I have also had horses, goats, cows, pigs ( inside and outside)and chickens. Lastly I have a Veterinarian Technician certification. I am currently working only a few hours and days so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. I’m available weekends and during the week. I can adapt my schedule for you and your pet’s needs and provide the love, attention and care that your pets deserve when you are away.
