Hi there! I’m Sofia - a caring and committed pet sitter and dog trainer based in Richmond.

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Back in Russia, I have two cats and a lovable Yorkie (they are currently living with my mum).

In Melbourne, I’m studying Animal Behaviour and training with Delta Institute. My goal is to become a professional behaviourist, and I spend a lot of time learning about dog behaviour and training techniques. I’m passionate about helping dogs and their humans understand each other better.

I work at a busy doggie daycare and assist a trainer during group classes, gaining practical experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

Before moving to Australia, I worked in Moscow for two years as a pet sitter and dog walker. I cared for a wide range of pets, including those with special needs or on medication, and always followed their routines closely. Many clients came back to me again and again, which I take as the best compliment.

I now live in a secure, spacious one-bedroom apartment in Richmond, close to parks and walking tracks. Whether your dog needs cuddles, quiet company, fun walks or confidence-building, I’m happy to support them. I also have lots of enrichment toys and calming activities at home, plus a turf loo on the balcony.

I’d love to meet your furry friend and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you're away.
