Sophia (she/her) has been with us since Sept 2022. She now helps Rachelle train new hires, and has a ton of knowledge to share 🤓🥰
a. Where are you originally from?
- Born and raised in Victoria. 25 years!
b. What area of the city do you walk dogs?
- Anywhere there is ocean access for the pups has my whole heart.
c. Do you have a dog of your own?
- Not yet, but I hope to have one in the future. Perhaps a Vizsla. Shout out to the most handsome boy, Rudy!
d. Favourite food? - Thai red curry, candied salmon, and a well laminated croissant.
e. Favourite season? - Summer!
f. Favourite colour? - Blue.
g. Fun fact that people might not know about you?
- I am obsessed with anything food related. In fact, I started a monthly Cookbook Club with my closest girlfriends. At the end of each month, we gather for a dinner party cooking recipes from a specific cookbook. We then rate the recipes on taste, accessibility, and wow factor!
h. When you aren’t walking dogs, what fills your time?
- Baking, travel, soccer, and anything outdoors (camping, hiking, backpacking).
i. Three things you’re most grateful for?
- Island life, good coffee, and a loving community.
j. Biggest life lesson the dogs have taught you? - patience, empathy, and learning to appreciate the small things in life.
k. What does fear/force-free dog walking mean to you?
- For me, it means meeting pups where they are (physically and mentally) with strategies that enhance and enrich their experiences in the world. Every dog is unique, and I believe FF values are able to adapt to any type of need with a gentle and empathetic approach.
l. What does getting paid a Living Wage mean to you?
- This means we can have an awesome job, which promotes physical and mental wellness, while also being assured we are supported financially.
m. What’s your favourite thing about being a part of Low Key Dog Walks?
- Everyday is different 🩷
