About Merel
Hi, we are Merel and Preben.
We are lifelong animal lovers with a history of caring for our own pets and farm animals. Merel grew up on a farm in Australia, where she learned to care for all kinds of animals from a young age, including dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and horses. Understanding the needs and behavior of animals comes naturally to us. From energetic puppies and kittens to wise seniors—we love them all.
We are both on sabbatical, taking a break from our careers as a psychologist and social worker. We have ample time and energy to spent with your fur babies. Thanks to our backgrounds, we bring a calm, responsible, and trustworthy presence to any home. These qualities help us build bonds with both animals and their owners.
As seen from the reviews, Merel has experience petsitting in the Netherlands. Both Merel and Preben are now travelling though Europe in their van awaiting time spent with your beloved pets.
We both understand pets are part of the family and treat them with the same love, care, and attention as our own. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, or taking care of your home while you're away, we'll make sure your furry friends are safe, happy, and comfortable.
Are you looking for someone reliable, caring, and experienced? Then we'd love to care for your pets as if they were our own. Can pet sit cats, dogs (of all sizes and breeds) and other furry and feathered friends. Feel free to enquire.
