about us

More than just a walk in the park...

See Spot Run is a friendly, professional dog walking and dog training small business based on Sydney’s lower North Shore.

Founder Mali Rolph is a highly regarded animal behaviourist and accredited trainer, who as well as running the team is a hands-on walker and trainer herself.  Launched in 2005 with just Mali and her worn out sneakers, See Spot Run quickly picked up speed and today the team boasts a small fleet of doggie-transport vehicles, and a fun and friendly group of qualified, experienced, dog-loving staff.

If you have a problem, we have the solution, and we are delighted to say that our reputation precedes us - over 90% of our new business comes from referrals from happy clients! 

Call Mali today on Tel. 0405 291 339 or email spot@seespotrun.com.au

Allison Garoza
See Spot Run Small Animal Carer & Dog Walker
Allison could be classified as an all round animal lover, and the animals love her right back!  Allison has been doing volunteer work for over 12 years in local animal shelters; walking dogs; socializing cats for adoption; rescuing seal pups stranded in Maine; and helping at a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Illinois.

Allison has always loved being around animals, and her caring and light-hearted approach with the dogs in her care is a joy to observe. When Allison isn’t busy with See Spot Run she fosters feral cats to teach them to trust humans so they can find safe loving homes.
