A walk is never
just a walk.
Enriching adventure walks, home-style boarding and pet concierge for busy professionals who see their dog as family. Door-to-door, with photo updates so you always know your dog is happy.
Dana Topchian
Owner & handler. Every walk, every stay, every appointment: it’s Dana.
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.”
Three ways we look after your dog
Walks, stays and appointments, all handled personally, all door-to-door.
Adventure Walks
More than a lap of the block. Sniff-led walks that let your dog explore, socialise and burn off energy the right way.
- Pick-up and drop-off from your home
- Photos sent to you from the walk
- Social time with other friendly dogs
Home Boarding
Your dog stays in Dana’s home, not a kennel. Family routine, a daily walk, and a familiar face the whole time you’re away.
- Daily walk included
- Family routine, familiar face

Pet Concierge
Vet visits, groomer runs and general transport, handled for you. Your dog gets there and back safely, and you get a full report.

- Transport door-to-door
- Written report after every visit
Peace of mind, built in
One trusted handler
No rotating staff. Dana personally walks, boards and transports every dog, so your dog knows exactly who’s coming.
Updates you can see
Photos from every walk and a full report after every concierge visit. You’re at work, but you’re never out of the loop.
Door-to-door, always
Pick-up and drop-off is part of every walk. Nothing to arrange, nothing to rush home for.
Checked and insured
A mature, police checked, NDIS and fully insured professional. The basics done properly, so you don’t have to wonder.

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.
