THE PERSON BEHIND THE SERVICE

A little about me

Frieda cuddling a white dog

I’m Frieda. I grew up with animals, and they’ve had a special place in my life since childhood. For over six years now I’ve been actively caring for other people’s animals and homes while they’re away, in Germany, France, Scotland, England, Spain, Portugal and Austria.

Dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, donkeys, chickens and rabbits. Every animal has its own mind, and every home its own rhythm.

People often tell me I have a way with animals, and that they trust me quickly. I think it’s because I bring a lot of calm and an honest interest in how each one works. Shy animals, or ones everyone has written off as difficult, tend to come around with me, and I hear that back again and again.

Six years of hands-on practice, not a certificate, and a genuine interest in each animal.

Familiar routines. An attentive presence.

Calm

Unhurried, patient care, shy animals included.

Routines kept

Their food, walks and habits stay just as you know them.

Peace of mind

Your home looked after, with updates while you’re away.

WHAT I OFFER

Every home has its own rhythm.

From dog sitting and cat sitting to house sitting, from holiday cover to regular visits: we put together the right mix for your animals, your home and your routines.

Common questions

What pet owners often ask

Do you have experience with anxious dogs?

Yes, a lot. Beforehand I talk things through with you: what your dog has been through, what triggers the fear and what makes them feel safe. Every dog is different, so I take my time and adjust to them. I’ve looked after many different breeds, including lots of rescue dogs and hunting dogs such as the Galgos and Podencos you meet so often in Spain.

What happens in an emergency or if there’s an injury?

I can take care of minor, superficial injuries or heat-related problems. I don’t have medical training. Every stay has an emergency plan with emergency contacts and a vet, so we can act quickly if needed. We go through medication and special needs in detail beforehand.

Will I get photos and updates?

Of course. Daily or as often as you like, just as we agree. What matters most is that you don’t have to worry.

Do you look after other animals at the same time?

No, unless you explicitly ask for it. Your animals get my full attention.

“An excellent sitter, a real gem. Communication was super easy and reliable, and she sent us regular photo updates. We felt that our animals and the house were in the best hands at all times, and she even took excellent care of the garden. We would highly recommend her.”

“Frieda cared for my two cats for the third time now and the boys and I couldn't be happier. She took the best care of my cats and left the house in a perfect condition.”

Verified review · Germany, 2025 · 3 days

“This is the third time we have used Frieda, which speaks for itself. Having 4 dogs where 2 are old and 2 young comes with its challenges. Indie is quite scared of people but warmed up a lot quicker than normal. There were some medical needs for the dogs and Frieda took care of all that was needed and kept us updated.”
