About Elena Meral
Hi! I’m a student at Maastricht University and a huge animal lover. I grew up with pets, mostly cats, so taking care of animals has always been part of my daily life. Being around them from a young age taught me how to understand their different personalities, routines, and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
I’ve looked after pets for friends and family several times, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, and simply keeping them company while their owners are away. I know every pet is different, some are very energetic and love attention, while others need more patience and quiet space and I always try to learn to what makes them feel most comfortable.
If I’m taking care of your pet, I like to keep their normal routine as much as possible so they feel relaxed and secure. For dogs, that can mean regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. For cats, I understand the importance of giving them space while still making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also always pay attention to small changes in behavior or mood, because I know pets can get stressed when their owners are away.
I can offer boarding and daycare in my home as well. I live in a calm and clean environment, and because of my flexible student schedule, I’m able to spend a lot of time with the pets I look after instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I also prefer vaccinated pets, especially for boarding, just to keep everything safe and healthy.
For me, pet sitting is not just a side job, I genuinely enjoy being around animals and building trust with them. My main priority is always making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
