About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up with dogs taught me to understand their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities, and that bond has stayed with me throughout my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether it’s playing, walking, or simply providing a comforting presence. After moving to the U.S., I started working as a dog sitter and have since gained over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Through this, I’ve learned how to help dogs adjust to new environments, maintain their routines, and feel safe and comfortable even when away from home. I believe in patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to build trust and make every pup feel at ease. Whether it’s keeping up with their exercise needs, providing companionship, or just giving them plenty of affection, I strive to create a stress-free and enjoyable experience for both dogs and their owners. I work fully remotely, so I’m home throughout the day to provide personalized care and attention. I take dogs out at least twice a day for 30+ minutes, but I’m happy to adjust based on their energy levels and needs. To ensure each dog receives the best care, my rates are based on their size and needs: • Small dogs (≤25 lbs): $43/day • Medium dogs (26-59 lbs): $50/day • Large dogs (60+ lbs): $55/day With over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, I truly love spending time with them, and their well-being is my top priority. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I make sure to structure my day around the dogs’ needs, ensuring they get enough exercise, playtime, and attention. • Morning Routine: I start the day with feeding, followed by a morning walk to help the dogs burn off energy and start the day on a positive note. • Midday Activities: Depending on the dog’s energy level, I engage them in interactive play, training reinforcement, or another walk if needed. If I have daycare clients, I ensure they have a fun and structured day. • Evening Routine: Dinner is followed by a relaxed walk and some downtime, where I make sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. On a weekly basis, I schedule time for cleaning and sanitizing the space, maintaining a safe and hygienic environment. Since I also enjoy fitness and staying active, taking care of dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle, as it keeps me moving and engaged. My goal is always to make sure the dogs in my care feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is my top priority. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I ensure that every dog feels at home while in my care. Safety First • My home is a pet-friendly space with no hazards, and I always supervise dogs during playtime to prevent accidents. • Walks are done with secure leashes, and I only take dogs to safe, appropriate areas. • I follow each pet’s dietary needs and feeding schedule to maintain their health and prevent any digestive issues. Building Trust • I take time to understand each dog’s personality, preferences, and any special needs they may have. • Positive reinforcement and patience help me build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs. • Regular updates and photos are sent to owners so they feel assured their pets are happy and well cared for. Comfortable & Clean Environment • Dogs have a cozy space to rest, with clean bedding and access to fresh water at all times. • Daily exercise and playtime are provided to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. • I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly sanitizing areas where pets eat, sleep, and play. Whether boarding at my home or providing daycare, I strive to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

“First time using Rover in this area, and i’m so lucky to find Chi-Wing as our dog sitter. Highly recommend! Lots of love, care, pics and videos. Dogs seem really happy after pick up. ?”


5. Caren H.

“Caren did a great job taking care of my 11 month old puppy Cassie. She was able to manage three dogs at once with no issues and made sure to ask all the right questions before agreeing to sit multiple dogs at once. I felt very comfortable leaving Cassie in her hands and would use her services again.”


6. Aparna R.

“Aparna treated our Chloe very well, was extremely responsive and overall communicative to us, and easily managed her separation anxiety during the sitting. Two thumbs up, would definitely use her services again!”


7. Alice Z.
“Alice is amazing with dogs. She’s helped me care for my Australian Shepherd and Corgi, and I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after them. Alice is attentive, responsible, and truly cares about making sure my dogs are happy and well-cared for. She’s great at managing their energy levels and always ensures they get the attention they need. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Alice is the perfect choice.”

“Grace is really amazing!!!! She agreed to a meet and greet at my request and once we met, I felt she would take great care of Toby. I had to reschedule the morning of the sitting and Grace was so kind and understanding and accepted the literal last hour change to the following week. When she was sitting Toby, she sent updates, pics and videos of Toby every hour. She took great care of Toby. I absolutely recommend her services and I will definitely be a repeat client.”

“Brett was great with girl! He knows his stuff, and we definitely felt comfortable leaving her with him. Will definitely be booking him again!”


13. Xiaoxiao Y.

“I highly recommend Xiaoxiao and her partner as a dog sitter! They were attentive, reliable, and clearly cared for my dog as if it were their own. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease. My dog came back happy and well-cared-for, and I couldn’t ask for more!”


14. Iman C.
“Iman is the most loving friend I have. Not only has she been nurturing with her own pets, but whenever I go out of town I offer to pay her for taking care of my senior dog. Rosie, my dog, is 13 and has dementia. She’s always afraid because she doesn’t know where she is. This leads her to bark like crazy around anyone. Iman always takes care of her and, the crazy thing is, Rosie doesn’t bark at ALL around Iman. I really think she has the magic touch with my sweet girl!”


15. Oxana D.

“Oxana took great care of our dog Bruno while we were gone for a couple of hours. She took him on a long walk to the park and sent us plenty of updates/photos throughout the day. Oxana - we can’t thank you enough!”
