Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a passionate and reliable animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. That is why I am currently: - Studying Animal and Veterinary Biosciences at La Trobe University 🐾🔬 & - I volunteer at an animal shelter (The Lost Dogs' Home) caring for rescued cats of all personalities 😸 I’ve grown up with cats my whole life, so I’ve always been surrounded by animals and loved having them as part of my family. I’ve also regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends over the years. More recently, I’ve been caring for pets through Mad Paws, where I’ve gained hands-on experience with pet sitting, house visits and dog walks, and have received 10+ five-star reviews from happy pet owners! 🥰 I offer pet sitting in your home, house visits and dog walks! I’m very flexible with pet sitting and am happy to care for your pets for stays of any length, from just a few days to much longer stays. I’ve previously cared for a pet for over two months, so I’m very comfortable with longer bookings too! 🏡 For house visits and dog walks, I generally spend around 30–60 minutes with your pet, but this can vary depending on their individual needs, energy levels and routine. Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to tailor my time with them to whatever makes them happiest and most comfortable. When I care for your pet, I treat them like my own. Whether that means going for a walk, having a play, enjoying lots of cuddles, keeping them company, giving them some extra attention, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, I want them to feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I know how much our pets mean to us, and I understand that leaving them with someone else can sometimes feel a little daunting. That’s why I’ll always do my best to keep you updated with regular photos and little messages, so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you’re away. 📸🤍 I’m also more than happy to organise a meet & greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I’m respectful of your home, your pet’s routine and, most importantly, the fact that every pet is a very special part of the family. I genuinely love what I do and would feel so lucky to meet and care for your furry friends! 🐾🤍
