Our story

Because life’s better when there’s time to stop and sniff.

Every dog deserves the chance to explore, sniff, discover and engage with the world around them. At Snifferatti we create enriching adventures that support your dog’s wellbeing while giving you complete peace of mind.

Whether it’s an adventure walk, transport to an appointment, or personalised care while you’re away, we treat every dog like family. Think of it less as a dog walker and more as a personal trainer, concierge and trusted companion for your dog, rolled into one.

“Personal trainer for dogs. Concierge for pets. Trusted companion for busy professionals.”

What we do

Three ways we look after your dog

Walks, stays and appointments, all handled personally, all door-to-door.

Adventure Walks

Meet Dana

The person your dog will be spending the day with

Snifferatti is run personally by Dana Topchian. When you book, it’s Dana who turns up at your door, Dana who walks your dog, and Dana whose home your dog stays in. That consistency is the whole point: your dog gets a familiar face, and you get someone who actually knows your dog.

Dana is a mature, police checked, NDIS and fully insured professional working across Melbourne’s bayside and south-eastern suburbs.

The photos Dana sends during the walk are the highlight of my work day. Milo comes home tired and happy.

Boarded Ruby for a week and she settled in straight away. So much better than a kennel.

Dana took Archie to the vet while I was stuck in meetings and sent me a full rundown afterwards. Brilliant service.
