About Sofia

Hello everyone! My name is Sofia, I'm 27 years old and I've recently moved to Townsville for a new experience. I am eager to pursue my dream of working with animals. With five years of experience as a dog sitter, I have cared for dogs of various sizes and ages, as well as cats. I honed and expanded my skills during a year of work at a feline shelter.Currently residing in an apartment just ten minutes from the sea, surrounded by green parks, it's an ideal setting for leisurely walks with your dog. My dedication to the well-being of animals is reflected in the care and affection I provide.

I understand how challenging it is to leave one's dog or cat with others, and I'm aware of the responsibility and unpredictability that comes with caring for other animals. I am available for an interview to introduce myself and, most importantly, to inquire about the needs and requirements of the animal I'll be looking after. On the days I offer my availability, I'll be ready to dedicate myself 100% to all tasks at hand: walking, playing, resting, feeding, and cleaning.

I will adapt to their routines based on age, habits, and the owner's requests. I am a responsible person, always striving to perform my duties to the best of my ability. Additionally, I'd like to mention that having animals or having had them in the past is crucial for being able to care for other animals in the present. Dealing with specific issues with one's own pets enables effective management of diverse needs.

Volunteering at a facility like a cattery has been invaluable. Dealing with various animals, some frightened and distrustful, has equipped me with the skills to handle unforeseen circumstances, control situations, understand behavioral psychology, comprehend their language, and manage stress.

If you are seeking a reliable and passionate individual to care for your pet, feel free to reach out. I am ready to contribute to the happiness and well-being of your four-legged friend. Thank you for considering my application.

Sofia.

My name is Sofia and my love for animals began when I was a child. Growing up, dogs and cats were always a part of my family, and taking care of them became a constant part of my routine. Over time, I turned this passion into a second profession. Starting with assisting friends and acquaintances with their dogs and cats, I gained the trust of owners who chose to entrust me with their dear pets. I am proud to say that both they and I have been extremely satisfied with this collaboration. In the last five years, I moved to Barcelona, where I had the opportunity to further expand my experience. I shared my apartment with a four-legged friend, a Husky-Labrador whom you can see in the attached photos. Day and night, I took care of her, meeting her every need and providing support in every moment of need. In the last year in Spain, I devoted some of my time as a volunteer at a feline shelter. This unique experience has enriched me greatly, teaching me a lot about animal care and the importance of their well-being. I am confident that I can offer your pet the love, attention, and care it deserves. It would be an honor for me to be a part of its daily life and ensure that all its needs are met. Thank you for considering my application as a dog sitter. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pet soon.
