Professional dog lover 🐕
Pet care experience
My family’s passion for rescues has always made me value every moment I get to spend with our dogs. I just moved to Honolulu from Austria, where my sister decided a few years ago to make dog training her career and I have been able to learn many valuable things through accompanying her on this journey. Since I was in elementary school I‘ve been walking and caring not only for our family pets but also for our neighbors‘ and friends’ dogs. I put their safety and well-being above all else and really enjoy building a bond with them 🐾. I‘ve trained and fostered both puppies and senior dogs, especially rescues who‘ve had a rough life on the streets. We have ask angel (but very reactive!) pitbull-lab mix and have had husky mixes and purebred Malinois. Every dog - no matter how reactive, anxious, senior they are - deserves to be given an overload of love 💕
Reviews
Courteous loving attentive care for our fur kids. Really outstanding. Thank you so much for caring beautifully for our fur kids! Nice person, great care. A+
Sophia is the best! This is the second time we had Sophia babysit for us. Maka loves her! She is very responsive, always takes pictures, and keeps our pug calm and happy. Thank you Sophia!
Sophia is the best, no hesitation on requesting her again. Sophia was very thoughtful on asking us about Maka’s needs and taking care of him. Definitely recommend and Maka would love to see Sophia again soon. Very responsive and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!!!
Sophia was amazing! So friendly & my baby instantly loved her ❤️ that's how I knew he would be okay. My dog is very reactive but was great with my son son. She made our first experience amazing. Will be booking future appointments.

I live in a two bedroom with my lovely partner and can have dogs over anytime. My partner mostly works from home as well and we live 5 min from Magic Island in Ala Moana, so a great place to walk dogs in the city.
Information Sophia K. would like to know about your pet
I am used to taking care of reactive rescues, yet the behaviour of your dog on walks, with children, other people, cars, other dogs and with cats is very important for me to know so that I can plan walks and activities accordingly. Additionally, it’s important to know if your dog has any allergies or food intolerances, along with any medication I need to give them. I am very careful on walks and watch dogs‘ behavior and body language all the time to make sure I can avoid any situations that put your dog in harms way.
A typical day
My sister dog trainer has always taught my entire family the value of stimulating a dog both mentally and physically. I love going to dog parks and using toys and whatever the park has to offer to do any type of dog training that the dog needs or enjoys doing. I also choose my walks based on the stimulation that walk offers and like going to places where there are stimulating (yet not overstimulating) smells for dogs.

I work as an HR Trainer and when I am not doing on-site trainings on Oahu, I usually work from home. I am pretty flexible and can use my lunch breaks and evenings, as well as weekends to sit and walk dogs.
