Paws and Claws Pet Sitting 82 Valley View Manor Drive, Andrews, NC 28901

"Merrie is simply the best pet sitter. She had our Lily for 2 weeks and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. Lily is 15.5yrs and we were quite worried about leaving her - but to be honest - she couldn’t have been in better hands. Merrie gave us frequent updates, including photos. Lily can be a fussy eater - but no problem for Merrie who changed her food up to make sure she ate properly. Definitely a great experience and Lily was very content."

"Merrie’s is a great place to leave your pets with complete peace of mind. She truly loves animals and is competent and compassionate. Her home is clean and comfortable and pets have access to all of her home including the sofa and bed. She has a great fenced - in back yard for security and a large covered back porch with a dog-door into the kitchen. She took great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation and sent daily texts, photos and videos. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them again and highly recommend her."

"I had to leave town for a family emergency. Merrie came highly recommended for boarding at her home. This was the very first time we left our bella with anyone, she is 4 yrs old and always had gone with us. We did a meet and greet as Merrie has a dog of her own and they did wonderfully together. Tucker and Bella became fast friends and were just great. Merrie sent video's and pics and daily updates. Which easied our minds while we were away. We were gone for a week, if I ever want a vacation or need to leave our bella with anyone it will be with merrie and no one else. She is very attentive as well. You need a dog sitter Merri is the only one you should call.. See pics attached. Our bella and bella and tucker."

"Merrie is reliable, caring, and dependable. She is experienced with animals - knowledgeable of pet medical needs, foods, and routines beneficial to their well being. My girls immediately latched onto Merrie, and that is uncommon for German Shepherds. She is attentive to detail: washes dog bowls daily, grooms, established feeding routines similar to their everyday routine, and plays with them. I received pictures and updates daily. Merrie is quick to respond when I reach out with inquiries. I highly recommend Merrie for any pet sitting/boarding needs."

"Merrie was wonderful with my 2 dogs! Since it was our first meeting, we met the day before to make sure my dogs were a good fit to stay at her home. The next day I dropped them off in the morning ( Merrie was also super flexible with the time, which was really helpful). She sent me photos and texts throughout the day and evening giving me updates on how everything was going. And, best of all, she treated my dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend Merrie for any pet sitting needs you may have!"
