I help dogs reach their step goals

Pet care experience

🐶 I miss having a dog. Unfortunately, my apartment doesn't allow dogs, so I thought Rover would be a great way to play with pups while meeting my daily step goal. 🍼 My granduncle, who babysat me, was the founder of the first Korean dog rescue organization in Los Angeles. I grew up playing with all the dogs waiting for their forever family. Rescues have a special spot in my heart. In my own home, I grew up raising three dogs. Since moving to Oakland, I have been a cat mom for ten-plus years. I am also my friends' go-to person for their furry children.

This was Esther’s second time with Hibsicus and it went even smoother than the first, she even got a few glimpses of miss scaredy cat. Really grateful for Esther being so understanding of last minute requests and being able to make sure our girl gets fed!!’

Esther was such a great last minute sitter! I really appreciate all the visits she gave to help out feeding Hibiscus! She was very understanding that she was a shy new foster cat and was very sweet to feed her and make sure she had a clean safe place! Thank you Esther!

🎨 I am a WFH Product Designer so I have some flexibility between meetings. 👟I *try* to go on a daily walk for inspiration, fresh air, and time away from my computer. Walking or walking to visit an adorable fur child makes my walks exponentially more joyful.
