Owner
My name is Zsuzsi (Susy), I am the owner and manager of Tassevärld. I am from Hungary and have been living in Sweden since 2013. I always loved animals, had a lot growing up: from hamster through cats and horses to – of course – dogs. For years I was also helping to a shelter back in Hungary by temporarily giving home to stray dogs, help socializing them, so they could have a chance of finding a new home.
When I came to Sweden, it was not possible for me to have my own dog, so when I got a job as a dogwalker I was the happiest person alive. That was a couple of years ago and since then I have been working with dogs for different companies and from March, 2017 I started walking dogs on my own. It has been a dream come true and I hope to have as many happy clients as possible in the future.
Manager
Tjena! My name is Erica and I am a huge animal lover and have always had pets at home, from dogs to cats and even birds. I even surrounded myself with animals at work, becoming a zookeeper and a wildlife rehabilitator back in the US. Here in Sweden I have a small flock of ducks, which I love dearly, but I miss having a dog of my own. This is why being a dog walker is the best job for me! I get to spend my days out in the city parks with many wonderful dogs, and then come home to my sweet ducks out in the country. This is the perfect life!
Hi, my name is Nils! I was born and raised in Sweden. As a child I only had cats but always hoped we would get a dog. That dream came true in 2020 when I got my first dog Luna. She was quickly followed by Maja just 6 months later. They sparked a love for dogs I didn’t know was there before and decided to look for jobs involving dogs! That dream also came true in 2022 when I got to start here at Tassevärld! It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to meet so many incredibly nice dogs!
My name is Brad and I’m from New Zealand. I grew up in the countryside and had dogs beside me for most of my life. Before coming to Sweden, I have spent many years traveling Europe where I have done several jobs with dogs including some volunteer work at a dog hotel in the Swiss mountains. I came to Sweden to build a career working with dogs and become a professional dog trainer. I also spend a lot of my spare time dog sitting.
My name is Magdalena, and I’m originally from Prague.
Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs because my dad is a kynologist and also trained rescue dogs to search for people missing in the wilderness or after disasters. Watching him train inspired my passion for working with dogs—it felt completely natural to me.
I also have a 6-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Apache) who fills my life with fun and adventures. My aim is to bring that same energy and care to every dog I walk and make their walks enjoyable.
Hi! I’m Mark, I am from Ireland and moved to Sweden in 2021. I have a huge passion for animals. I have had animals all my life, from dogs, fish, birds and many different species of reptile, amphibian and invertebrate. I have studied veterinary assistant in Ireland and worked in pet stores as an adviser, I have also done educational shows with exotics. I really miss having as dog of my own since I left Ireland, so working here at Tassevärld lets me interact with many dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities which I love!
Hello, my name is Kristin and I was born and raised in Sweden. I lived a few years up in the northern part of Sweden but am raised mostly in Stockholm and I am a horse girl all the way through me. So nature and me is truly a combination of the heart.
I have almost all of my work life worked with either horses or dogs or combined.
I have had animals all my life cats, dogs, bunnies and all small creatures you can think of.
I am a photographer on the side and I have no dog of my own but maybe one day.
To get this opportunity to work for Tassevärld is really an important time to get work with dogs again. But also, to get to learn their personalities and those fantastic individuals that all dogs are.
My name is Carlos and I was born in Peru but I have lived in Spain since I was 4 years old. There I was studying electronic Engineering and then I decided to come Sweden. I loved dogs since I was a kid and walking and taking care of them is a great experience to me. I have also worked as a photographer, basketball coach and I am working at Tassevärld since the beginning of 2018.
My name is Chris, and I am from the United States. I have always loved all animals and have lived with dogs, cats, rabbits, and domestic rats. One of the jobs I had back in the states was at a pet hotel for both dogs and cats, and I also volunteered for a wildlife rehabilitation organization and worked with opossums and raccoons. I have two sweet, lovable cats at home who require all of my attention and object to the addition of any new pets, including dogs, so it is a pleasure to walk and play with dogs at work. I love how intelligent and playful my dogs are and how each of them have their own very unique personalities. I am so lucky to be with them every weekday.
Hi, my name is Pontus and I was born in 2002, I grew up here in Stockholm. I have always loved animals, so I looked for a profession that allowed me to work with animals. I studied nature management with a specialization in veterinary care at Spånga Gymnasium and got to practice at some dog daycare. Have had a cat and dog all my life so I am very used to dogs.
Hi, I’m Tracey Flaherty! I moved to Sweden from Chicago, Illinois, but I grew up in a small town in eastern Ohio, USA. Animals, especially dogs, have always held a special place in my heart—I’ve never been without a pet in my life.
My passion for animals has shaped both my personal and professional journey. I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family since I was 12, and I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped organize events to support their missions. These experiences have deepened my commitment to providing compassionate and reliable care for animals.
I love spending time with my husband and our dog, whether it be biking, kayaking, hiking, or camping. I also enjoy immersing myself in creative projects like painting. I really believe in the importance of accountability, care, respect, and finding solutions—these principles are what guide me in both my personal life and my work.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue learning. I’m currently focused on becoming fluent in Swedish and completing my business lessons to expand my skills and future opportunities.
Hello! My name is Even, I was born Stockholm with a love for animals. Throughout my life I have taken care of everything from rabbits, cats, dogs, horses to sheep, ducks and chickens. But I find the greatest attraction to dogs. Being out in the sunlight, walking and hanging out with all kinds of dogs – big and small, happy and calm, old and young – at Tassevärld brings joy to both me and to my wonderful walking companions.
My name is Micah, and I’m from the USA. I’ve always loved animals and have been lucky to always have dogs in my life. When I was a child, my grandmother had a farm where I got to help take care of many different animals. I have a degree in biology and geoscience and have previously worked at an animal hospital for several years. As a dog walker, I look forward to meeting new dogs and building a close relationship with them!
Hi! My name is Oliver and I am born and raised in Sweden. I’ve always loved animals and my first word was “doggie”. Personally I have only owned cats and fancy rats, but I am very close to my grandmother who’s had dogs my entire life.

It makes me very happy to spend my days with so many sweet dogs here at Tassevärld!
Hej, my name is Richard, from China. I have loved dogs since I was a child. I can always gain the trust of dogs quickly and make them happy. I am not only a dog walker, but also an excellent trainer and photographer.

Every moment I have with dogs is something I will never forget.
