About Sophia

I'm a law clerk who loves dogs and playing social sport. I have experience with dogs of all ages and needs, as well as cats and rabbits. As a regular babysitter for over 10 years, I am well versed in overnight care, dietary requirements, schedules and the importance of a warm, gentle approach when looking after your loved one.

I am available evenings and overnight, weekends, and some weekdays.

For overnight sitting, I will also do any home tasks that need doing (as I have always done with previous sitting / babysitting jobs) including watering plants (indoor and outdoor), laundry, sweeping leaves, bringing in mail, etc - whatever you need. I will make sure to lock up all doors and windows, close gates, and set any alarm systems as required.

I will cater to your dog's exercise needs and capabilities. I'm happy to take your pup to the park, around the neighbourhood or to the beach where allowed.

Whether your pet needs heaps of exercise or none at all, I am happy to help. I love getting outdoors and will take your dog on long walks or out and about while sitting, but also tend to be a homebody and will gladly stay home with your pet over weekends / when wfh.

I am happy to do all grooming, including washing, brushing, eye cleaning, basic trimming around the eyes/bottom/paws and ear cleaning. I have experience grooming all dog sizes (my own dogs are 11kg and 40kg) and once rescued an abused dog and was able to restore his sight through a 5-hour groom (with some help).

In the last 12 months, I have worked for many different clients and families in pet sitting and basic care roles, from regular overnight care to several-week stays.

I adore animals and will do whatever it takes for your pet to be healthy and happy while you're away.

Sophia looked after our cat and dog and my apartment for 2 weeks. She did such a great job and was easy to communicate with before, during and after. She really cared for our animals and left the apartment absolutely spotless. Will definitely be asking Sophia to housesit again!

I love Sophia but most importantly Gus (my 9 year old very anxious Jack Russell) loved Sophia. He became even more anxious when I was away and Sophia went above and beyond to ensure he had company.

Thank you SO much Sophia. Highly recommend!
