Description
Hello! I’m Sandra, a medical doctor living in peaceful Sammatti with my 11-year-old chihuahua, Beannie. We’ll soon be moving to Helsinki, and during this transition I’m hoping to find a kind, dog-loving woman to keep Beannie company and help us settle into our new home.
I love nature, healthy lifestyle, good food and warm, respectful communication. Sammatti is surrounded by lakes and forests, with an active village community. Later, you’ll also get to experience city life in Helsinki — a great mix of both worlds!
If you enjoy spending time with animals, value a cozy, friendly atmosphere and like helping in everyday life, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will experience everyday life in Finland, from peaceful countryside living to city life in Helsinki. They can learn about Finnish culture, sauna traditions, home-cooked meals, and enjoying nature.
They will also gain experience caring for a small, gentle dog and see how Finns balance work, home life, and wellbeing. It’s a chance to connect with a warm, respectful home and share stories across cultures.
Help
I’m looking for a kind and trustworthy woman who loves dogs and would enjoy helping Beannie, as well as assisting with light daily tasks.
Mainly, I need help with:
-Keeping Beannie company while I’m at work (about 4 hours per day)
-Feeding her and taking her out for short walks
-Some light household help (around 1 hours a day)
-Support during our move to Helsinki and helping Beannie settle into the new home
You’ll have plenty of free time for remote work, studying, or hobbies. Taking care of Beannie is very light — she mostly enjoys company, gentle care, and friendly everyday attention. I work outside the home for 4 -5 days a week.

Accommodation
You'll have a private room in my home with shared living area, kitchen, sauna, and bathroom. You’re also welcome to use my car when I’m not at work to explore the area, enjoy hobbies, and I can introduce you to people in my circle.
I'm usually at work from 9-15, so we can enjoy breakfast and dinner together at home. For lunch, I’ll provide ingredients so you can prepare something for yourself during the day.
I like cooking healthy, home-style meals and it would be lovely to share them with you. If you have any dietary preferences, I’m happy to adjust or make sure there are suitable options available.
What else ...
You have plenty of free time, you can study or do remote work. Also you can enjoy walks in the nearby forests and around the lakes, explore the peaceful countryside, or relax at home in a cozy and quiet environment. You’re welcome to use my car when I’m not at work to discover nearby towns, nature spots, or take part in local hobbies and events.
Later, when we move to Helsinki, you can explore the city, visit museums, parks, cafés, and experience Finnish urban life. Public transport in the city is convenient, and I can introduce you to my circle of friends.
There is also time to relax, read, or work remotely if you wish, while enjoying a warm and respectful home atmosphere.
