Personalized care for your dog or cat - Merrimac

“Renee did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures of them playing and having fun. I think one of our dogs is actually disappointed that we came back because he was having so much fun playing with the other dogs at Renee's house.”

Mike G.

“Another great visit. Zeus loves staying there!”

Bernie K.

“Scout had a wonderful stay here! The yard and dog companion(s) was just what he needed and wanted. He came home happy and tired from all his fun times there! Don’t hesitate to send your dog this way. She even gave him a bath before sending him back home with us!”

Morgan B.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, kept both of our dogs! They were out all weekend to the lakes! Kept me updated with pics and videos and anytime I checked in on them she made sure to update me!! We will definitely be using her!”

“Dear Jenifer, Charlie and Patton here. We had to take things into our own paws to write this review for you. Our Mom has gotten so busy with the holidays - we didn't want one more day to pass without letting you know how much we appreciated your taking such good care of us over Thanksgiving break. We LOVED you - you scratched our ears in just the right places, you took care of all of our medication/supplement needs and you even took care of the CATS. (We couldn't decide if that made you a saint or just misguided. We soon realized that you have a true love for us four-legged creatures, so who are we to be greedy with your sweetness?) We know that our people were really grateful for your flexibility and your willingness to do what it takes to keep us all happy, healthy and safe! We look forward to having you over again! And, this time, can we play with your dawgs, too?? Love always, Patton and Charlie (& Hatcher & Toby...)”

I do have extra cages for safety and for them to have their own space .

About: Cats have always been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 of my own currently. From litter boxes, to medicine, to food and treats and picking out the perfect toys I have always taken the up most care of my cats and others. Not ever cat is the same and I'm able to get on their level to figure out what works best for each. I even brought grooming cats into my career with me!

About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. Currently, my wife and I have 2 of our own that we adore! We have a 2 year old labradoodle and an 8mo old mini golden doodle. They love to play with other dogs. We have a lovely fenced in yard that they can safely enjoy together. Our dogs are our babies so I know how special your pets are to you. Send me a message if you need any and all pet care. My wife is currently working a travel assignment here in Yuma. I am looking for something to keep me busy during the days, I am free any time to care for your pets! Supervised play time outside is important as there are a lot of things that could cause potential harm to our pups in the desert. Lots of water available 24/7 and short/frequent outside playtime during the hottest part of the day.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I was away for two weeks, and Allison was absolutely amazing with my cat. She sent daily updates and photos, kept me informed about how things were going, and clearly cared deeply for my fur baby. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter! She is awesome!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, adaptability, and genuine care I bring to every pet I look after. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I make it a priority to learn and respect those from day one. I have experience working with both high-energy puppies and older, more sensitive senior pets. With puppies, I focus on reinforcing basic training like housebreaking, crate comfort, leash manners, and positive behavior using consistent, reward-based methods. I’m patient and understand that young dogs need structure, repetition, and encouragement to thrive. For senior pets, I provide a calm, attentive environment and am comfortable handling special care routines, including administering medications, monitoring mobility, and adjusting activity levels to keep them comfortable. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior or health and communicate proactively with owners. Beyond that, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I keep pet parents updated with regular messages and photos, and I always aim to make both the pet and the owner feel completely at ease. My goal is not just to “watch” your pet, but to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Throughout most of my life my family has had cats. For a long time when I moved to the country, we only had one cat that was outside most of the time, his name was Henry and he was so sweet. However, after he passed, we adopted two beautiful baby kittens a few months later, Teddy and June! Me and my siblings helped raise those tiny kittens to the big beautiful fur balls they are now and they are the most loving and sweetest cats we have ever had for our family. I also help take care of cats through the humane society at my job at Petsense, I do my best to visit the local humane societies as often as I can to love on all the kitty babies. Cats are beautiful creatures and I truly love every single one I meet, I want to take care of each of them as best I am able. ❤️ I am very clean and make sure that when I am cleaning their space (litter box, play toys, etc.) I do a good job so they can be comfortable. They deserve the best care!

About: I’ve had many pets since I was very young. I’ve walked, fed,bathed, and gave medicine to a variety of animals. I love caring for them and forming a bond with them. I will be available every weekend to help out with your pets. I can care for them in your home and I can also take them for walks. I will care for your pets by watching over them in your home. I can feed them, bathe them, walk them, and more. I’ll make sure to treat your animals as my own and give them the love and attention that they need.

“Jessica was really amazing. She gave regular updates and photos of how our puppy was doing throughout the day. Would definitely use her next time I’m in Kentucky.”

“Look no further, Renee is a GEM! My husband and I were RVing in Kentucky and needed a dog sitter at the last minute. Renee not only took Beans in last minute but truly is amazing with Dogs! Beans had so much fun she was so sad to leave! Thank you so much Renee! If we are ever back in Kentucky we will be reaching out!”

Melisa Y.

“Thank you.”

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.

About: For 8 years I have been working in the animal industry. I started as a pet groomers assistant at a two vet clinics. I quickly decided caring for animals was something i would want to dedicate my life to doing and being someone pet parents could trust and rely on to take great care of their babies. I have multiple certifications in the pet stylist industry and for pet heath. I have experience with numerous amounts of breeds and temperaments. I can ready body language, introduce myself properly, take it slow and just get to bond with your baby. Aside from working in the animal field, I have never had a moment in my life where I didn't have or care for a dog or cat. I have consistently been around animals my entire life. I also have experience with fresh and salt water aquariums! We can always work something out to accommodate your schedule as needed for your babies. I keep my cell phone close so I am easy to contact! On dog walks, your baby will get to stop and sniff all the good spots! Depending on what your pet likes to do, we will do the following, run, jog, play, enjoy slow peaceful walks or play with toys! I will consistently keep an eye out for any dangers while your baby is having the time of his/her life!

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet when I do have my days off, I will start substitute teaching soon so this could potentially affect my daytime availability. I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby because he's part of my family. I love him very much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me so happy, and I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too. They deserve it!

“We love Allison! Echo and Ollie get SO excited to go on their walks! I can’t recommend her enough! Allison loves and cares for the pups and does a fantastic job! We are very happy!”
