About Sophie
I am a 28 year old Masters grad living in South Hobart with a car. I have experience pet sitting, dog walking, and volunteering for the Lost Dogs Home in north melbourne as well as the dog shelter at Best Friends animal society. I have expereince with dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a lost dog shelter volunteer, I have experience providing dog walking, enrichment, rehabilitation, cleaning and meal preparation and distribution to all kinds of dogs and feel very comfortable looking after anyone. I grew up with a beautiful shetland sheepdog myself, and I am very comfortable taking care of several dogs at a time.
