Pet care experience

Your pet, lovingly cared for like my own.

I grew up surrounded by pets and they were always a source of happiness — something special to come home to every day. When I left home about a year ago, I realised just how much I missed the unconditional love and comfort that animals bring into our lives. While living in Australia and knowing I couldn’t have pets of my own at the time, I began helping friends and acquaintances who had dogs or cats — taking them for walks, spending time with them and making sure they were well cared for when their owners couldn’t be there as much as they wished. That’s when I discovered how meaningful this could be: a beautiful, almost symbiotic relationship between pets, their owners and myself. Because I grew up with both a dog and cats, I understand that every pet has different needs. Puppies and senior dogs require different care, just as kittens do compared to adult cats. I’ve also had experience caring for my dog after surgery, making sure she was comfortable, changing her diaper and giving her medication gently through her food. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy playing with them, taking them on walks suited to their energy levels — short or long depending on what they need — and for more active dogs, I’m happy to go running with them. I’m mindful of their routines and diet, and I believe love can be shown in many ways: through affection, brushing, calm companionship, play and attention. If this sounds like a good fit for you and your pet, feel free to send me a message. I’m based in Copenhagen and happy to move around the city to care for pets in their own familiar environment. Unfortunately, I’m not able to host pets in my home, but I’m more than happy to adapt to your routines and needs. Having recently moved here, I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with some wonderful dogs and cats and building caring, trusting relationships with both pets and their owners.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care exclusively in the pet owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime and any special care instructions. Safety and trust are always a priority. I respect your home, keep doors and windows secure and only give food, treats, or medication approved by the owner. I’m happy to share regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Barbara has watched Tony a few times now, and it has just been wonderful! She gets that he is just a big puppy and handles him so well, even when he is quite big. Tony always seem relaxed and happy when she has been here. Big recommendation!

Dog Walking • Mar 08, 2026

I can wholeheartedly recommend Barbara as a dog sitter and walker. I was very satisfied with her help in walking my dog. The most important thing for me was that my dog was simply happy – and he can definitely have his moods. After the walks he always came back well-exercised and relaxed, and with each visit he reacted with more and more enthusiasm when he saw Barbara. I truly felt that my dog was in good, responsible, and professional hands. Even rainy weather was not a problem for them, and an additional plus was that Barbara documented the walks, so I could see how they spent their time together. I will gladly use her help again in the future – she helped me a lot and I can definitely recommend her!

Before caring for a pet, it’s important for me to understand their daily routines and specific needs. This includes feeding times and portions, walk schedules, preferred activities and any special care requirements. I also like to know about any additional requests such as brushing, bathing, administering medication or behavioural sensitivities. Having this information in advance allows me to follow your routines closely and ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
