“I’m so grateful to Mersades for taking such wonderful care of my Leo! She has such a warm and kind personality — I felt it the instant I met her.

This was my first time hiring a pet sitter, and I was a bit nervous, but having Mersades gave me an instant sense of calm. 100% recommended by both me and Leo! 🐾”

“Jess is super reliable and took care of our cats while we were away. Her visits were prompt, she takes her time, sends photos and reassures you that your pets are in good hands. I highly recommend her if you are in need of a pet sitter.”

“I am so glad that we found Rebecca! I hadn't left my cat for longer than one night since I adopted him, and was super nervous to go away without him. Rebecca made me feel completely comfortable--when I met her I could tell right away that she truly loves animals. After hearing how nervous I was to leave my cat, she sent me lots of photo and video updates every day. I loved the updates and they really helped put me at ease! I could see in the videos how much my cat likes her and that he feels comfortable with her. She followed all the instructions I left for her and when I came home my cat was well-fed and relaxed from playing. In addition, my house was clean and everything was exactly as I had left it. Throughout the whole experience, Rebecca was easy to communicate with and very professional. I really can't say enough good things about her and will definitely book her for drop-in visits again next time I go away!”

About: Myself and a friend started BoneJour Pet Sitting and Dog Walking a long time ago. After a few years my friend moved away and I stopped dog walking and pet sitting. Now that I am live in a an area where it is full of commuters and townies with dogs, I would like to start pet sitting and dog walking again for some extra cash on the site, but more importantly because I love animals. I have my own dog and cat at home. I will handle and treat your animals as if they were my own. I am open to pet sitting in my own, as well as in yours while you are on vacation or a business trip and am also always available for daily drop in's for walks and feedings if you are running late home from work.
