Pet care that knows Merrimac
Merrimac sits in the green middle of the Gold Coast — a settled, residential pocket between Robina and Carrara, threaded with canals and reserves and handy to the M1 and Robina Town Centre. It’s a quieter, family-and-retiree suburb where dogs get leashed canal-side strolls close to home, plus the excellent off-leash parks of neighbouring Robina and Varsity Lakes just minutes away. We hand-match your pet with a police-checked local sitter who already walks the area.
Merrimac is the Gold Coast at its quietest — canal-front homes, settled family streets and golf-course green space, with the M1 close but not intrusive. Dogs here live a leashed, local life: canal-edge strolls, waterbird-watching and quick hops to the bigger off-leash parks over the Robina and Varsity Lakes borders.
Every service, right here in Merrimac
Overnight stays
Overnight stays place your dog with a sitter in the Merrimac–Robina pocket, keeping the same canal strolls and familiar parks in the daily mix.
Dog daycare
Daycare pairs Merrimac’s calm streets with real exercise — sitters head to the fenced parks minutes away in Robina or Varsity Lakes for off-leash play.
Dog walking
Walks follow the canal edges and quiet crescents — flat, part-shaded routes that suit seniors and strong pullers alike, always leashed by the water.
Home visits
Home visits fit Merrimac’s settled households — cats, older dogs and pets who’d rather keep their own couch than travel anywhere at all.

Your sitter knows where to go in an emergency: VSS Carrara Veterinary Clinic & Hospital, just off the M1.
A Merrimac sitter’s day is built on the canal loops — a cool morning circuit past the moored boats and ibis flocks, leads firmly on near the water. The main event is usually a short drive: Robina Parkway Park’s fenced run or Frascott Park’s split sections, then home for a quiet afternoon in a suburb that specialises in quiet afternoons.
