About Sophia

I am an active and fit lady who loves to walk and needs a furry companion! I used to have a male Miniature Schnauzer until he passed away from old age in 2022. Now I have a cat. I walk for exercise every day and would love to take your dog with me! 

I have a "Responsible dog owner" licence from Auckland Council and know the rules, plus I work for the council myself. I can handle small and medium sized dogs well, however I would be uncomfortable with larger dogs.

Areas include North Shore, Hobsonville and Auckland Central - depending on the day and time in question, as sometimes I work from home in Albany, other days I'm in the office in CBD. During weekdays I am available at lunchtime or after work, and on the weekends I'm pretty flexible. 

I am also happy to make home visits to check on your pets while you're away or busy. I used to do that for a colleague of mine who had two cats and 4 chickens. I also love fish, amphibians and reptiles and have experience with all of them.

I cannot take pets into my own home, as I live in an apartment and have a cat.

I am usually available during public holidays, so reach out if you need help during those busy times.

Sophia has been a life saver for me. I sometimes have to be away for longer hours and shes happy to come over and look after my dog. She is flexible with her days and always tries to accomodate my needs. She gives me feedback each time how the puppy was. I will definitely continue to use her service. Thank you again.

Sophia looked after our two cats so well. When we returned home they both looked so relaxed and happy. Thank you so much.
