Caring, reliable pet/house lover

34, Student/Professional

Hi,

I'm a 34-year young professional, people and animal lover from Sweden who’s in Sydney, Australia to study, work and do online coaching. I've been doing house sitting full time since beginning of 2023 and I love it!

I've taken care of a variety of pets, ranging from dogs, cats, horses and one little baby goat. They’ve all been different individuals with different needs depending on breed, age, health status and personality. Apart from the pleasure of having animals around, my passion about people and interior design makes house sitting a wonderful lifestyle, as I get to explore the culture by connecting with locals and experience their home environments.

I grew up in an old town house in Malmö, Sweden and my family has always been home birds with an interest in pets, renovation projects and gardening. In my early years, we had a Rotweiler, then a cat and now my family has a 10 year old black Labrador who's my best friend. I've also done horse riding for around 12 years. To me, animals are a blessing to humanity, being unconditionally loving and genuine. In my 20’s before and between working professionally and completing my university degree, I’ve been living abroad many times, worked as a nanny and did Wwoofing for a bit, taking care of farm animals.

House owners, employers, colleagues and friends describe me as responsible, open, communicative and genuinely caring about all living creatures as well as highly dedicated about doing a good job. I have a patient, intuitive personality and understand the anxiety that might arise with animals while owners are away. Luckily most pets seem to attach to me and ease into the new situation quite quickly. I'm a non-smoker who cares for my own health as well as the health of animals. Since I’m not a party person, I enjoy meeting friends for outdoor activities or dinners at home.

I appreciate the trust to allow someone unknown into your home, I’m currently renting out mine in Sweden myself. I ensure I would look after your place as I would with my own. Being outgoing, solutions oriented and experienced with house sitting, I’m also confident I’d be able to manage any ad hoc situation that might arise. My online studies, coaching and part time work in retail offer flexibility to walk and cuddle with your pets also during daytime. It’s not a deal breaker, but if there’s an opportunity to use your car, that’s a huge plus for me and I’m happy to bring your fur babies to nature or beach excursions on days off.

I’d be happy to get in touch to learn more about you and your needs. Don't hesitate to reach out regarding references or any further information.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Kindest greetings,
Elin

Oh my goodness! Elin is a dream house sitter!!! Communication was incredible - prior, during and after!! She went above and beyond for our four furry ones…. Our two rescue dogs usually take a good couple of days to warm up to new sitters. Elin came for a visit prior for a meet and greet… Chester was SITTING ON HER in 10 minutes!! Don’t think that has ever happened! Both dogs adored her and loved the time with her. One cat became a permanent fixture with her… the other snob cat even deigned to ... MORE

Elin is a wonderful caring lady, she went above and beyond with caring for my dogs. I would highly recommend her.
 
JULIE (Mascot NSW, Mar 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
Elin was responsive and trustworthy during the 3 weeks of housesitting at our place. She took good care of our pets (1 dog and 2 cats) and was extremely easy to communicate with. We were provided with videos and photos constantly and returned to a well looked after home after our holiday. I can highly recommend Elin to any host who is looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter
 
EVELYN (Forest Lodge NSW, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
Elin did a Housesit for us for three weeks in November 2023. We have an old querky house and she coped brilliantly with it. She kept in regular contact with us and was a pleasure to communicate with. On our return, the house was extremely clean and well-cared for. We would be happy to recommend her and we would certainly recommend her house-sitting services. Barbara and Ian
 
BARBARA (Sydney NSW, Nov 2023 - 3 weeks)
Elin did a good job of taking care of our house & cats while we were away. She sent us a few photos of the cats while we were away. The cats seemed very content with jere and were clearly well looked after. The house was neat & tidy when returned home. We had a good experience with Elin.
 
IAN (Summer Hill NSW, Jun 2023 - 3 weeks)
Elin was amazing, we were so lucky to find her and have her look after our home and our Labrador, Jack. Elin was so caring and kind and took Jack on lots of adventures. It was so comforting to find someone so genuine and who treats animals like their own. Jack was not even bothered when we returned because he had been so spoilt. Communication was frequent and appreciated. Our House was left immaculate and so well looked after. We also lent the car to Elin and she took good care of that ... MORE
 
NATALIE (Illawong NSW, May 2023 - 4 weeks)
Elin was such a pleasure to meet! How nice it was to get to know her and for her to want to really understand our place and more importantly how Laila likes her food etc. Elin really took the time to get to know us and our cat and we really appreciated how she kept us updated while we were away. Elin left the house tidy and clean, even stripped the bed of linen etc and made sure Laila had plenty of food. We would happily recommend Elin to anyone looking for a sitter and would welcome her ...

MONICA (Monterey NSW, May 2023 - 2 days)
I had the pleasure of having Elin as my petsitter. From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a deep love and understanding of animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in her care. Elin was incredibly professional, organized, and communicative throughout the entire process. She made sure to maintain my pet's schedule and keep my home clean, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Additionally, her regular updates, complete with photos and videos, made me feel ...

LUKE (Petersham NSW, Apr 2023 - 1 week 6 days)
Elin was a delight to have stay at our home and look after our older cat for 2.5 weeks. She took great care of our furry feline family member with regular checkins and updates which gave us great peace of mind. And also our home, leaving it sparkling clean and the cupboards even tidier than when we left! Our experience with Elin demonstrated her to be thoughtful and great to communicate with. Would highly recommend Elin for future house & pet-sits.
 
KATHERINE (McMahons Point NSW, Mar 2023 - 2 weeks)
Elin is a really kind a organised, we were so happy to leave our babies with her. She was constantly in communication with us and sending us updates. We actually went overseas for 3 weeks and it was a huge weight off our shoulders not having to stress about them. Would highly recommend her for a future house sit.
 
DAVID (Sutherland NSW, Feb 2023 - 3 weeks)
I would recommend Elin to anyone looking for someone to mind their home and animals while they are away. She was completely reliable and did everything, and more, that was asked of her. My house was looked after perfectly and my animals loved her. I would completely trust her with every aspect of looking after my home and animals. If Elin applies to mind your home, I strongly advise anyone to put her in charge. My rating would be 11/10 stars!
