About Sophie

Hi! My name is Sophie and I have just graduated from an Engineering masters in UCD Ireland and have just moved to Australia to live in Melbourne. I am 24 years old and live in North Melbourne. Local to me there are many parks which are dog friendly and great for dog walking as well as a couple of dog parks where I could bring your dogs to socialise with other dogs if this is something they would like! There are also a couple of beaches a short car or tram ride away which are great for walking dogs on!

I am an animal lover - with 3 dogs, 2 cats, 14 tortoises and many fish at home in Ireland, I have much experience with many different types of animals. I particularly love walking my dogs, having one puppy and two adult dog makes me very experienced with walking all different aged dogs. Having dogs myself and with previous experience walking other dogs makes dog walking a perfect opportunity for me! I am happy to meet a client and their dog prior to being hired to ensure a good fit! I also regularly care for other dogs and cats in their own home and am open to doing this also if required! I did a lot of dog sitting and walking as well as minding other animals back in Ireland and am happy to provide references for this if needed! 

I am open to any required activities on walks ie. visiting dog parks, off lead playing, fast walks, slow walks where the dog has time to enjoy his/her environment. I am very content to do whatever pleases the owner and am flexible with my available hours. 

I can travel to wherever is needed for the dog walking or caring services. I enjoy exercise myself so can offer long walks or multiple shorter walks in the same day. I have walked many neighbours and extended family's dogs also and have looked after dogs for many years.

I have a police check which I have uploaded a photo of to my gallery for your information. I am available 7 days a week, so please enquire with whatever you may need! I also have many testimonials from previous clients on Pawshake Ireland and cannot add these to my Australian profile, get in contact if you would like me to send these on.

 I am very excited to walk some dogs and look after any and all animals in the coming days and weeks! Thanks for your interest! Sophie
