Safety, trust & environment

I always take great care to ensure a safe and calm environment, whether I'm in your home or mine. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and energy, and adapt my approach to keep them relaxed and secure. I build trust gradually and connect both with pets and owners on a personal level, so everyone feels at ease.

Information Joakim S. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routines, energy level, any medical needs, and how they usually respond to new people or other animals. I have no particular preferences and am open to all kinds of pets and personalities – but the more I know in advance, the better care I can give.

A typical day

Depending on the pet’s energy and personality, a typical day could include walks in nature, playing fetch, exploring new smells, mental stimulation with games, or just cuddling and quiet companionship. I stay present and adjust the activities to what your pet enjoys most, making sure they feel loved and engaged throughout the day.

Pet Sitter with Heart – Reliable & Flexible

Pet care experience

I bring a calm presence, genuine curiosity, and strong intuition that help animals feel safe and seen. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust to their unique needs and personality—whether that means playful energy, training patience, or simply being present and calm. I’ve cared for up to three dogs at the same time, each with their own challenges and special needs. This experience has taught me how to stay focused, balanced, and responsive in dynamic situations. I also have experience with administering medication and handling pets who require extra attention. I’m physically active and happy to take long walks or go for runs with high-energy dogs. At the same time, I’m attentive and gentle with older pets who need a slower pace and more care. My background as a massage therapist and actor has sharpened my sensitivity to body language and emotional cues, which helps me connect deeply with animals. I’m flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Joakim was very kind to our dog. His beautiful house is spacious, with an outdoor area, and is conveniently located close to Zaanse Schans. He took great care of our dog and was very responsive. During pickup and drop-off, everything went smoothly. He was waiting for us, and the process was very efficient. He even offered us tea. We will definitely reach out to him again if we return to the area.

I am very happy with Joakim! He took great care of Bilbo and Tigro—who is usually very shy—and made them both feel very comfortable and happy. I highly recommend him and will definitely call him next time I need a buddy for my cats
