Do you need a babysitter?

Hello! My name is Kristina and I'm 18 year old student, having just finished my last year of high school. A little bit about me, one of my biggest passions is dance. I also love to do embroidery and read. I plan to go to university in February and get a degree in law and criminal justice.

My experience makes me good at engaging with kids and playing games with them, while also making sure everyone is being safe. I have references if you'd like them. Message me if you think I'd be a good fit for your family.

I have also volunteered at the Kind Foundation over the summer, helping counselors with kids. My role was to hangout and play with the kids, and help the counselors manage all of them. I have my full license and access to a car so I can drive kids places and can work late nights.

Reliable Animal Lover with Hands-on Experience in Pet Care and Dog Walking

My name is Anna and I really enjoy being around pets because I’ve grown up with them my whole life, and they’ve always felt like a natural part of my everyday life. I love how each animal has its own personality, and I find it rewarding to understand their different moods, needs, and ways of communicating. Being with pets is something I genuinely enjoy because it feels calm, grounding, and meaningful to me.

I currently have two cats back home in Denmark, and I’ve been around cats since I was very young. I’m very familiar with their routines and behaviour, and I’m used to taking care of all the daily responsibilities like feeding, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also have experience helping with my family’s dogs, including walking them and looking after their daily needs, as well as taking care of a neighbour’s cat.

Growing up, I also spent a lot of time on my grandparents’ farm, where I was around dogs, cats, and horses. This has helped me become very comfortable with animals in general and confident in different situations. Over time, I’ve learned that patience, calm energy, and consistency are important when working with animals, and I always try to adapt to what each pet needs in the moment.

For me, being around animals is not just something I enjoy—it’s something I naturally connect with and care deeply about.

I graduated from a Danish high school in 2024. I have experience caring for both cats and family dogs, and I currently have my own cats at home, which has given me strong hands-on experience with daily animal care and routines.

Alongside this, I have worked as an assistant at Nordic Bioscience and as a tutor, which has helped me develop responsibility, reliability, and good communication skills.

I am comfortable with animals, attentive to their needs, and used to taking on care responsibilities in a trustworthy and calm manner.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
