Merle Larsen Henderson, Nevada Cell: 773-343-... [email protected] 35 years of experience Verifiable Background Check Mature, Experienced, Loving Dog and House Sitter Hello!! I am a mature lady dog lover that loves to spend quality time with dogs when possible. I can't have dogs where I live, so I have been privileged to get my "dog fixes" by taking care of other's for many years. Excellent references are enclosed in this introduction. I cannot care for cats I am sorry to say...I am allergic. I can stay with birds, fish, and other small caged mammals. Additional Skills: Oral and injection medication administration, Senior Dog Experience Can provide daily exercise, some training, playtime, brushing, feeding. "When I stay with your dogs, loving care, attention, exercise and whatever else may be required in your home will be provided." “In my experienced I have discovered that the dogs' apprehension and anxiety level is lessened while being with a stranger if they are allowed to stay in their own comfortable environment knowing that I am welcome in their home by their family.” Reviews: Joanne Elliott, The Hills· August 2017 Fantastic Dog Sitting, by Merle Larsen, over the weekend of August 4th! We always board our dogs when we’re away from home, but now with a puppy we didn’t want to cause any undue stress. The other alternative was to have someone come to our home. We were very apprehensive, but decided to give it a try. We contacted Merle, who came over twice before our trip to meet our fur boys, familiarize herself with their daily routines, and reassure us that all will be well. Both of our young, very exuberant dogs warmed up to her immediately. When we returned home from our trip, both boys were happy to have us home, the house was just as we left it, and Merle even retrieved a package for safe keeping. It was confirmed that all went well when our puppy cuddled up to her before she left. She is reliable and friendly, likable woman with very affordable rates. We will be using her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. Give her a try! *David O. ~ Henderson, NV. ~ June 2017 Thank you Merle for watching our fur baby (Bella) this weekend. You did a fabulous job and went above and beyond what you said you would do. Thanks for caring for Bella so well. She loved having you stay with her. We will definitely use you again if we go out of town for anything else. For anyone contemplating using Merle, she is awesome and will do a great job for you. *Patty Revell ~North Las Vegas~4/20/201... [email protected] Merle, it was a pleasure to have you take care of our three schnauzers. You were patient, responsible and willing to handle all their medical issues. Not all sitters are able to give insulin shots, you not only provided that service, but also gave medications as needed. I realize how difficult it is to care for three elderly dogs and still provide the love and attention they require. You also stayed at my home, which was a requirement and important. I really appreciated that. I hope we are able to have you back again. Thanks again for your service. *J R Thompson ~ Las Vegas, NV 702-682-... I hired Merle to watch my home and 2 dogs. I found Merle to be very warm and friendly. My dogs are very important to me and when they met Merle for the first time I could see that they were immediately comfortable with her. It was nice coming home to no dirty dishes, she picked up the dog poop outside and she even did some straightening up around my home. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again. *Carolyn Poreda ~ Chicago, IL [email protected] I've known Merle for many years. We actually met 25 years ago when she adopted my miniature schnauzer, Casey, after I moved to Chicago and couldn't find an apartment that allowed animals. Casey was 5 when Merle gave her her forever home. Under Merle's excellent care, Casey lived to the ripe old age of 18. Daily walks, playtimes, healthy food, regular veterinary care, and lots and lots of love had everything to do with it, I'm sure. Since then, Merle has babysat my two Labrador retrievers in my home many times, and at times overnight. In fact, she was the only one I would trust babysitting them. They absolutely loved her. The male, Buck, passed away recently at the age of 12 and the female, Raida, at 14. Such good dogs. I know you won't be disappointed if you hire Merle to watch your loved ones. Merle is that special kind of person that really cares about dogs and is able to connect deeply with them. Her time with your dog will be all about the dog. She will give them lots of attention and affection in addition to meeting their basic needs for food, water, treats, medications (if needed), exercise, walks and playtime Bill Franzen. ~ Chicago, IL [email protected] I am more than happy to recommend Merle L. for dog sitting service. We have used her services for many years for our "girls". She has always been loving and dependable, especially as they got older and needed medications and special attention. She has always been trusted to stay in our home if we were gone for a day to a week or more. This is an important advantage as the girls aged and felt better staying in their own environment and not being boarded elsewhere. Nanci Launius. ~ Chicago, IL I highly recommend Merle for providing the ultimate care and love as your professional "dog sitter." Merle has many years of experience with dogs of all kinds. Her knowledge and expertise provides peace of mind, which is priceless when it comes to the care of your four legged family members. Her love for dogs is genuine. Merle is responsible, respectful, dedicated, confident and professional. She is one of a kind. Merle has been my dog sitter for many years on many occasions. My collies adore her. I know they are in the best hands with Merle. She has a special connection with her four legged clients...she respects them and loves them. I am thankful for Merle. Thank you for your consideration!
