I work from home during the week, so I'm here for most of the day. Your dog isn't sitting alone waiting for someone to come back. - The day starts with a proper walk before I sit down to work. There's a shorter walk around lunch, time out in the garden through the afternoon, and a longer walk in the evening, usually down to the dog beach. One last trip outside before bed. - Weekends are slower and mean longer walks and more time by the water. I take one booking at a time, unless the pets come from the same family, so nobody is competing for attention. - If your pet needs a different rhythm, I'll follow yours instead of mine. Meals at set times, medication with food, a midday nap, or shorter and more frequent walks for an older dog. Just tell me what they're used to and that's what we'll do.

About Zuzanna J.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm on the ground floor, so we're outside in seconds, no stairs and no lift. The little garden by my door isn't fenced, so dogs go out there on a lead with me every single time, never off it. I'd rather be boring about that than take a chance. - Inside, my home is cage-free and quiet, and there are no other pets. My own dog lives with my parents now, so your pet has the whole place and my full attention. Sofa and bed are up to you, just tell me what the rules are at home and I'll keep them. - Before your pet arrives I move anything chewable out of reach, put the bins away and check the windows. With cats I'm careful about windows and the balcony door, and I always know where they are before I open anything. - I'll have your vet's details and an emergency contact saved before the stay starts, and I know where the nearest clinic is. If something seems off, you'll hear from me straight away rather than at the end of the day. - When I'm looking after a pet in your home, I treat it exactly as I found it. I stick to your instructions, I don't bring anyone with me, and I'll send you a photo each visit so you can see for yourself.

Information Zuzanna J. would like to know about your pet
Tell me the honest version, not the polite one. If your dog pulls, barks at other dogs, guards their food, hates being left alone or has ever snapped at someone, I would much rather know beforehand than find out on day one. None of it puts me off. It just means I can plan around it properly. I'd also like to know how they are with other dogs, though I only take one booking at a time unless the pets come from the same family, so there's rarely anyone else here. Please send me feeding times and portions, any medication, your vet's details and a number where I can reach you.
A typical day
Mornings are for sniffing. I let dogs take their time on the first walk instead of marching them round the block, because that's what actually tires a dog out. Ten minutes of proper sniffing does more than half an hour of walking fast. - Later we usually head down to the dog beach. Most dogs work out where we're going long before we get there. If yours likes water, they'll come home happily filthy and sleep all evening. - At home there's tug, a bit of hide-the-treat around the flat, and plenty of time on the sofa doing absolutely nothing, which is most dogs' favourite part. - With cats it's a wand toy and a warm lap, on their terms and whenever they decide to turn up.

Pet care experience
I've had a dog in my life since I was a child. First a dachshund, and these days a rescue mix who looks a lot like a corgi. He lives with my parents now, so my home is quiet and there are no other pets around. If your dog is nervous with other dogs, or you'd just rather they had someone's full attention, that suits them well. - I work from home during the week, so your dog won't be on their own all day. My place is cage-free, and they're welcome on the sofa if that's what they're used to. - A normal day here looks like this. A proper walk in the morning, then most dogs pick a spot near me and sleep while I work. A shorter walk around lunch, time outside in the afternoon, and a long walk in the evening before bed. I keep the same food and the same schedule you already use at home. Dogs settle much faster when as little as possible changes. - You'll get photos and a message from me every day. If anything comes up I'll tell you straight away, and I answer messages quickly. - Puppies are welcome, and so are senior dogs and dogs who need medication with their meals. If you have two, they can stay together. - I've been dog sitting for my neighbours here in Copenhagen for a few years now. Overnight stays, walks, feeding, and the occasional last-minute rescue when someone's plans fell through. - I live in a ground-floor flat with a small garden right outside the door. It isn't fenced, so dogs always go out there on a lead with me, never off it. What it does mean is that we can be outside in about ten seconds, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, without stairs or a lift. For older dogs and for puppies who are still learning, that makes a real difference. - We're lucky with the area too. There's a dog beach a short walk away, along with green space and a proper beach. If your dog likes water, they'll get plenty of it. And if their recall is good and you're happy for it, the dog beach is somewhere they can be off-lead and really stretch their legs. If you'd rather they stayed on the lead, that's completely fine, just tell me. - I'd really like to meet before you book. We can go for a walk together, and your dog gets to see the place first without a suitcase in the hallway. --- Jeg er ved at lære dansk, men vi kommunikerer nemmest på engelsk.

Reviews
Zuzanna has taken care of our dog a couple of times now, and we’ve always felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. He’s a very active little dog with quite a strong personality, so he’s not necessarily the easiest one to handle, but Zuzanna has been absolutely lovely with him. He was always really well taken care of, happy and relaxed when we got him back — which for us says everything. We would happily trust her with him again and definitely recommend her!
Zuzanna has taken care of our Jack Russell, Phileas, several times, for both short and longer periods. She took great care of him, gave him plenty of walks, and spent a lot of time with him. Phileas is a very energetic dog, so keeping him happy and well-exercised is not always easy, but Zuzanna did a great job. We always felt very comfortable leaving him with her and would definitely recommend her as a pet caregiver!
Zuzanna has looked after my dog a number of times over the last couple of years, usually when something came up at short notice. She's the person I ask first now. Rosa is wary of new people and went to her straight away, which honestly surprised me. She sends photos without being asked, and she tells you straight if something is off instead of saying what you want to hear. I've never worried while he's been with her.
