About Merolyn

Hello, my name is Merolyn, my husband and I arrived in Amsterdam in December 2018 where we've been living since then. It's really unfortunate, but our pet couldn't come with us, and we haven't taken one since.

I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, but always dedicated myself in my free time to my pets and also animal protection in Brazil. Having rescued several cats and dogs from the street, providing them food and health care, ending up adopting 5 or them and finding home for several others.

I couldn't bring my dogs to Holland because at the time we're living in my parent's house, and they love my dogs as my dogs love them too. It would not be fair to separate them from my family and their habitat, plus the idea of ​​putting my puppies in the stress or a flight frightens me. But I always miss them and always visit them every 6 months ... as they are my beloved kids!

Working as a pet sitter here in Amsterdam is being an accomplishment for me. I've been taking care of animals by appointment since when I arrived here and I consider this function much more than just a job: It's a leisure. Rest assured that your pet will be loved and spoiled by me, and if your baby stay in my house and you give me your permission she / he can sleep in our bed with us!

All my care, affection and attention are included in the accommodation. Your dog will walk two to three times a day if it doesn't rain. When the weather is rainy, we usually take a short walk or up to 15 minutes. And don't worry if you are missing your loved one, we all do, in order to keep your heart calm, I usually send 2 or 3 videos a day. If your pet use to sleep with you, in your bed, she / he might sleep with us, as we love their warmth. And don't worry if your friend needs to take pills (medications or supplements), as I'm experienced in delivering those. Food, toilet mat, toys, bed are all to your responsibility. If you want me to buy something, just let me know, and those costs will be charged separately.

Every time I have your little friend back home, I try to stay all the time with her / him, not leaving for more than 1 hour straight. And if something happens that requires more time than that, I'll arrange with you and make sure you are aware and ok with that.

My house is about 60 square meters. It has kitchen integrated to the living room, bathroom, toilet, bedroom, guest bedroom and balcony, unfortunately I can't provide an open area for your pet, but I do not have to worry about much more healthy outdoor experiences taking her / him to one of the nearby parks.

Merolyn and her boyfriend are amazing! They are so loving and caring and they took a lot of time to communicate with us about our puppy’s care before we even made the booking. We got lots of updates through the day and we could tell Gerda had an absolutely lovely day and it really helped us relax about her first time being away from us. She might have even been more spoiled than at home if that’s even possible. We will definitely come back to Merolyn whenever our schedules allow so we can be confident our baby gets a lot of attention and doesn’t have time to miss us.

Absolutely wonderful! Merolyn (and Jean, too!) clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and obviously loves them very much and really likes to spend time with them. My two dogs had an amazing time, I don't even think they missed me much at all ;) For my dogs (and for me...) it was the very first time they were away from home and without me, so I was very nervous at the start. But Merolyn is so sweet for the dogs and she sent me regular updates (texts, photos and videos!) so I felt very at ease and it was obvious that my dogs were having a great time...they were having their own mini-vacation! It is also lovely that Merolyn wants to know exactly what your normal routine is, and she will stick to that as much as possible. I think this also puts the dogs at ease. I would definitely recommend her and I will absolutely book again in the (near) future. Now that I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with Merolyn, I can go on more trips! ;) Thanks so much, Merolyn and Jean!!!
