About Merrill

Experience: 7 yrs

Hello! My name is Merrill and I'm a lifelong animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with dogs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog sitting, and I'm happy to help keep your pet comfortable and cared for while you're away or busy during the day. I'm reliable, attentive, and patient, and I treat every pet like they're my own. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some playtime, feeding, or just a little extra attention, I'm happy to help. I'm also comfortable with multiple dogs and can assist with basic routines like feeding, walks, giving medications, and keeping them on their normal schedule. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Merrill takes care of our children during the week but also makes sure the family dog is feed and walked every afternoon as well. She has helped our family out so much.
