Hi, I'm Sophia! I've grown up surrounded by animals. Over my life I've had around 6 dogs of all sizes, from a German Shepherd to a poodle, plus about 8 cats and 2 birds. Two of my dogs were rescues: a blind, one-eyed poodle who had been hit by a car and was overlooked at the shelter, and a stray we found alone and lost on the streets of Venezuela. In Australia, I worked at Wolfpack, where our team of 4-5 people took around 20 dogs at a time to an off-leash park near Centennial Park to run free and play. I've also looked after my boyfriend's parents' dog, Stanley, whenever they travel, including a full month in September with daily walks, feeding and all his care. While living in Airlie Beach as an au pair, I looked after Cho Choco, a chocolate Labrador, walking him at least twice a day. When he developed an eye infection, I took him straight to the vet and gave him his treatment: one medicine for his eye and another in his food. I care for dogs and cats, and I offer walks, drop-in visits, house sitting and boarding. My home is a small two-story house with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small backyard. I'm reliable, patient and calm when things don't go to plan. Your pet will be in great hands!
