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.

“Ann was great! Very communicative and great with our chippy!”

“Couldn’t ask for anyone better for my pup! Justin & Jasmine were flexible with my last minute requests which gave me such peace of mind. I received thorough reports with plenty of photos. I know Prince was well taken care of and had an amazing time walking with Jasmine :)”

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!

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with 2 years of pet sitting experience, along with all necessary certifications working with animals. All I need is a chance to express that I can be a patient, sensitive, and reliable pet caregiver. I currently have full time availability to pet sit your pet(s)! Please reach out ahead of time for upcoming holidays. My goal is to become a full time pet sitter w my own pet sitting business. *Indoors in my home I can assure that any harmful items will not be in sight, I don't have children nor do I have pets of my own at the moment, and I'm pretty neat. Front and patio door remains closed and locked unless going out with the pet. There is central cooling, of course there's going to be playtime indoors and outdoors, and soon I can provide extra pet supplies, but do feel free to bring your own. *Indoors in your home will be the same and I will apply your preferred schedule/routine while you're away! I believe in respecting other people's home, so if I make a mess, I'm cleaning up after myself! Also security of the home is important to me, so I do prefer to be knowledgeable of your home security system if you have one. Outdoors/ In Vehicle Leashes will be used as it is required by local guidelines, I prefer to take your pet out early mornings or evenings (7:00p.m) for potty time, but if you request them to be taken out a time of day where the sun is scorching hot, I will keep the out time very short. Feeding bowls or trays will be brought in my vehicle once I purchase another one, so your pet(s) can have nutrition on the go too!

About: My mother is a veterinarian and I have worked at her clinic for most of my life. So, I know how to work with many different breeds and ages of dogs. In addition to that, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and ensuring that they are taken care of! I’m currently interning during the week but my schedule is very flexible. I am available for boarding or pet care Monday through Sunday at all times! I have a fenced in yard with one other small dog. If your dog does not like other dogs, he is crate trained and we also have available crates at my house.

“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: 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!

Recently quit my day job to pursue my passion again.. pet sitting! I love spending my days loving and spoiling your precious fur babies! My neighborhood has clean safe sidewalks with plenty of shade during those sunny summer days! I also have a partially fenced in yard where we can take leashed potty walks.

“I can’t say enough nice things about this whole experience. Alexandra you were amazing and communicated well. It was my first experience with Rover and I would use it again. You handled my bully with ease and confidence. I was able to enjoy my time away without worry. Thank you so much for caring for our Doak!”
