Kia ora!
I’m Sophie, and I run Barks and Recreation with my Swiss shepherd dog Kora.
My journey in the dog world started in 2011 when I obtained my Certificate in Animal Care.
I've since gained hands on experience in the dog industry through working with charities, kennel hand work, dog grooming, daycare, and dog walking.
I have met and worked with a lot of dogs and people over these years in the dog industry, and the knowledge I've gained has driven me to start my own business.
Dogs are amazing creatures and I'm dedicated to helping them thrive in our world.
