About

Hi! My name is Mery, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for farm animals and have experience with animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, chickens, bunnies, and even monkeys! Over the years, dogs and cats have become my specialty, and providing them with loving, attentive care is something I truly enjoy.

I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide variety of needs. In addition to everyday care like walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping their space clean and comfortable, I have experience administering medications, following special diets, giving oral medications and injections, and applying ear and eye drops. I’m always happy to follow a pet’s specific routine and provide the extra attention they may need.

I love keeping dogs active and entertained while they’re with me. I regularly take walks around the park near my home and can also drive to other nearby parks for a change of scenery and plenty of exercise. Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures or would rather relax and get lots of attention at home, I’m happy to adjust their care to what makes them most comfortable.

I live with my husband, Brian, who is also an animal lover and helps me with walks, feeding, and caring for the pets who stay with us. Between the two of us, someone is home with the pets in our care around the clock, so they receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. I also work part-time, which gives me lots of flexibility and time to spend playing with and caring for your pup.

I offer boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and house sitting, and I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I can even help with bathing so your pet can come home clean and refreshed after their stay.

Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, special medical attention, or simply someone to keep them company and give them plenty of love, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Mery and her husband took great care of our dog. Chloe is nervous and slow to warm to new people and said goodbye to her and seemed very comfortable.
