Your Friendly DC Pet Sitter 🐶😸
Hi DMV neighbors! 🙋♀️ I’m Hayoung, but feel free to call me Hazel 😊 I started pet sitting back in 2018–2019 in Utah, though that account has since been deactivated after moving out of the country-I'm so happy that I can work as a pet sitter again!! 😸 Taking care of animals is what I truly love-and honestly, this is the part of my week I look forward to most, even more than my full-time job 🤫 lol ✅ About me: • Full-time office administrator with a typical 9–6 weekday schedule (with some flexibility!) • Proud cat mom of Salty 🐱 (You can see me, Salty, and my husband Jacob in my profile photo! 😚) • Helped around 10 shelter cats & dogs find loving homes 🥹 I have experience with fostering and caring for pets with different personalities and needs • Huge dog lover too! Our family dog Yuki (Shiba Inu) still has my whole heart 🐕 ✅ What you can expect from me: • Lots of updates 📸 (daily photos & videos!) No pressure to reply—just enjoy the cute updates 😺 • Flexible and happy to accommodate different routines and needs • I promise I’ll treat your pets like my own 🤍 • My biggest goal is helping your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved ✅ Availability & communication: • Feel free to reach out anytime 😊 24/7 available • Even if my calendar says unavailable, I may still be able to adjust—so don’t hesitate to ask! • Happy to be flexible depending on your schedule and requests ✅ A little extra about me: • I love photography and would be happy to take cute professional style pet/portrait photos for my clients! If you’re looking for a warm, reliable, and communicative sitter, I’d love to help 🧡 I can’t wait to meet more furry best friends around the DMV 🤩❤️ 🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛

Ratings and reviews
Hazel is an incredible cat sitter! Her attention to detail and communication is top tier! I felt 100% at ease knowing that Hazel was taking care of my cat when I was out of town. I would highly recommend Hazel as a pet sitter!
Hayoung did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies and my home! She went above and beyond to care for them and make them feel safe. And she was also so, so attentive and responsive which was so relieving! Definitely book her if you can :)
Excellent and communicative! Super friendly!
Hayoung was wonderful with my cats, Mikko and Milo! She was always timely, communicative, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when I got home, and it was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
Can’t say enough about how amazing Hazel was!!! She sent us numerous updates so we were always aware about how our puppy was doing. She spoiled June so much I can tell June was sad to leave her. Hazel took June to long walks, dog parks, meet her friends, all kinds of fun things! We were so glad to see June having a “vacation” as well during our trip. I’ll 100% come back to Hazel next time.
Hayoung was amazing with Bailey! She’s super sweet, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. I especially loved that she stood up to a rude lady making comments about him—she really went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and loved. We’ll definitely be booking her again soon! 💗🐶🐾
