About Barbara Penninga:


I grew up on a dairy farm in The Netherlands, where animals were part of everyday life. From a young age I helped care for cows, horses, sheep, chickens, goats, dogs and cats, so being around animals feels completely natural to me. Those early years taught me responsibility, practical skills and a deep love for animals and nature.

These days I live in Australia and work in a professional role supporting communities and working with people. Outside of work, I enjoy a calm and healthy lifestyle, walking in nature, yoga, gardening and cooking nourishing meals.

But I also have a fun, playful side! I am naturally adventurous and love being active and engaged, whether that’s long walks, beach time, exploring new places, or simply playing, cuddling and even having a little dance around the house with your pets. I genuinely enjoy their personalities and make sure they feel loved, entertained and relaxed while you're away.

I’m a dual citizen of The Netherlands and Australia and have travelled extensively, which has given me a deep respect for people’s homes and the trust involved in caring for them.

House sitting is something I truly enjoy because it combines two things I value most, caring for animals and creating a peaceful, well-looked-after home. My goal is always for you to return to happy pets and a calm, welcoming space.


While you're away I am happy to help with:
• Daily pet care, feeding and companionship
• Dog walking, playtime and exercise
• Medication if required
• Garden watering and plant care
• Collecting mail and keeping the home tidy
• Opening windows for fresh air and general home care
• Regular updates, photos (and a few fun moments!) for peace of mind
