About Sophie

My name is Sophie, I'm 31 years old and originally from the UK. I've been in New Zealand now for just over 6 years and am now a resident. I work full time but would love to squeeze in a bit of extra work cuddling cats or walking dogs.

I am an experienced animal person having grown up with 2 cats from a young age and then having German shepherd's from the age of 16. I now have a 14 year old Burmese cat, Tonkinese cat, and a 1.5 year old coltriever (collie x retriever).

I have lots of experience with both cats and dogs and absolutely love animals. When I lived in Melbourne I used Pawshake and walked a beautiful boxer called Harry Monday - Friday for about a year. When his parents went away I would house sit and also look after his brother crookshanks (cat).

I'm currently available for house visits 1 - 2 a day and dog walking.

Unfortunately due to my job I cannot do full time Monday - Friday walks but maybe be able to do the odd walk during the week when I work from home.

I am very reliable and will give your pets lots of cuddles and attention if that's what they like and also keep you updated with pictures and information.

We absolutely loved Sophie and would have her look after our 5 month old puppy, and 2 cats again and again! Sophie was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, kind and friendly; making us feel very confident and at ease for our first booking with a pet sitter. Sophie communicated frequently, was extremely efficient in her work and provided updates for us! We appreciated how much time she took to care for our pets while we were away for the evening. No doubt she will be our regular sitter from now! Thanks again Sophie, you were brilliant!

Familiar with dog training techniques
I have had cats my entire life and currently have a 13 year old Burmese. I’ve had to administer oral medication to him several times so do have experience with this. I have had 2 German shepherds, 1 was a puppy so did a lot of training with her. I now have a puppy coltriever and have done a lot of training with her. I am able to teach basic commands and leash walking. I used to walk a boxer when I lived In Melbourne, this was through Pawshake. I also house sat when his family went away and looked after their cat as well.
