About Sophia

I am a current biomedical science student who has always loved animals. With the semester winding down, I've got some extra free time on my hands, and what better way to spend it than doing what I adore the most – taking care of furry friends.


My love for animals was kindled in Fiji, where I began volunteering at the SPCA as a kid. Growing up, my home was a lively hub for pets - from mixed breed dogs and heelers to cats, guinea pigs and even a pig. Each one brought immense joy and love into my life.

I've continued my journey by volunteering at SPCA, working with a variety of animals from rabbits to cats. My tasks include cleaning cages, socializing, feeding and stocking supplies.

At the moment I currently have a 4 year old Shih Tzu cross Bichon called Archie - whether were out and about adventuring or cuddling on the couch, I would treat your pets the same way I would with my own.

Sophia did a great job looking after our shy kittens. They came out of their shell with her and were really well cared for. I would definitely book her again as a sitter.

I currently volunteer at SPCA dealing with small animals like rabbits - cleaning their cages, feeding and stocking supplies. I occasionally volunteer in the Cat ward, looking after sick cats, cleaning cages, logging information and practicing decontamination. Grim my cat is a rescue pet, still ongoing but I’ve been continuing to create a bond with her and also maintain her health by taking her to the vet.
