About Mercedez S.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and the family’s preferences, so I can provide care that feels familiar and comforting. I adapt to each home’s setup and follow your instructions closely—whether that means sticking to feeding routines, respecting boundaries, or keeping energy calm and consistent. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where your pet feels secure, understood, and well cared for
Information Mercedez S. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, I appreciate knowing about any specific behaviors, preferences, or routines ahead of time. Whether it’s how they react to new people, other animals, certain noises, or being alone—I want to understand what makes them feel safe and what to avoid. Let me know what they love, what they don’t, and any daily habits or rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know, the more I can make their time with me feel just like home.
A typical day
I love making sure pets have fun while feeling safe and relaxed. Depending on your pet’s personality, that might mean walks full of sniffing adventures, playtime with their favorite toys, or just relaxing together for cuddles and company. I always match their energy—whether they’re playful and active or more mellow and slow-paced. I’ll keep them mentally and physically engaged in ways they enjoy most!

Calm, Caring Cat Companion
Cat care experience
My experience with cats comes from working in a veterinary clinics, where I cared for cats of all temperaments—shy, feisty, senior, and everything in between. I’m comfortable handling them with patience and care, reading their body language, and making sure they feel safe and respected. Whether it's giving meds or just keeping their routine stress-free, I understand what helps cats feel most at ease.
Reviews
Mercedez has once again managed to win over our big Manny cat full of neurosis as well as Samantha, the crotchety old lady, and remain friends with Moe-I-Love-Everyone. She handled the magical disappearing cat with patience. She's wonderful with updates and pictures. I'd recommend Mercedez and will definitely book again.
Mercedez was excellent! Treated our fur-babies like they were her own. Our cat Cheddar and dog Gracie will be excited to see her next time. Love her!!
Mercedez once again did a great job watching our cats. She's responsive and very good at communication. She dealt ably with the regular meds for Samantha, our senior cat, and for Moe after his dental surgery. I'd recommend Mercedez without reservations.
Mercedez was absolutely wonderful with our terrible trio of cats. She dealt easily with the medical needs of our senior cat, including giving fluids several times. She also managed to coax out Manny, who doesn't like change and spooks easily, and get him to not only be in the same room but actually let her pet him. Moe was his usual attention-seeking self and she kept him happy too. Mercedez was great with communication and providing pictures the entire time we were gone. I strongly recommend her as a pet sitter and will certainly ask her to watch the cats again.
