Vacant job

I am a woman aged 40+, living with my two four-legged friends (dogs, that is – they are the bosses here at home).

About you (and a bit about the job):
I am fully capable of making my own decisions, talking, thinking, and planning my life – unless I specifically ask you for help. So, if you see personal assistance as something caregiving where you have to 'take care of' me… then we might not be a match made in heaven.
I see this as a service job. No fancy qualifications required – the important thing is that you are comfortable 'sitting in the back seat', able to take it easy without being slow, and willing to learn. You will, of course, receive proper training so that both you and I feel secure.

You will fit in perfectly if you:
Have a driver's license and are used to driving (GPS-friendly, but not a GPS slave).
Are confident, flexible, and have a nice sense of privacy. You understand when it's time to step back and when it's time to step on the gas.
Are genuinely dog-friendly – for instance: can read dogs' body language, not just thrown sticks to the neighbor's lab. You will help with both care and long walks. Do you have your own pets? Then you need a network that can take care of them during your shifts – my pets get all the attention here.
Are comfortable with all types of household chores – from scrubbing floors to helping me with more personal matters.
Speak and understand fluent Swedish – both written and spoken. I communicate best this way.
Are a non-smoker. Smokers need not apply (even though the world is not always smoke-free).
Have good physical health – back, neck, knees, and shoulders should be able to handle long walks and some physical tasks.
Are scent-discreet – I get migraines from strong perfumes, so leave that vanilla splash at home.

And yes – there will be a bit of adventure! Trips may come up – both shorter outings, weekend trips, and sometimes longer journeys abroad.

Does that sound fun?
Then I want to know more about you! Write a personal letter telling me about yourself – preferably with a twinkle in your eye – based on what you've read here. I care more about who you are than what you've done before.

Working hours: The schedule runs on a four-week rotation, mostly day shifts – both weekdays, weekends (every other), and holidays. Employment rate 75% + on-call. Start in January 2026 with training beforehand.

Ready to become an important part of my (and the dogs') life? We look forward to hearing from you – with wagging tails!
