About Sophie

Kia Ora!

I'm Sophie and I've loved animals since before I could walk. I've recently graduated and gained a certificate in Animal Care (Companion animals) which provides me with animal first aid, health and well-being knowledge, behavioural awareness and the general knowledge of animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits and rodents. I have dealt with dogs of all ages, sizes and behaviours and would love the chance to care for your fur baby as needed.

Having recently lost my boy, I'm not ready to rescue another dog yet, but still miss the love that animals bring into our lives. Please feel free to contact me at any time to chat and to organise something that works for you and your pet/s.

My services:

• Overnight stay (house + animal sitting)

• Dog walking (20 minutes, 1 hour etc -you decide!)

• Feeding, toileting and general welfare checks of dogs, cats, rodents and small animals

• Training of dogs

• Transport of animals (to appointments, dog parks etc)

Please note, I am not able to look after your dog in my own home, due to living in a shared space, but i am able to come to you.

Thanks!

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
< 5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
During work experience for my qualifications, I worked with a range of dogs at a kennel/boarding facility. This involved management of multiple dogs at once, feeding, toileting, walking etc. My own rescue dog suffered from extreme anxiety so I have a lot of experience in dealing with the repercussions and results of his fear. From working one on one with a professional behavioural specialist with him, I have learnt many different techniques to help keep both myself, those around, and of course the animal safe during stressful and potentially dangerous times.
