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.
