Pet care experience
Loving, Home-Style Pet Care
I’ve loved dogs for most of my life. About 16 years ago, I rescued a stray mother dog and brought her into my home, where she safely gave birth to her puppies. I cared for the little family until every puppy found a loving forever home. That experience deepened my love for dogs and showed me how rewarding it is to help them feel safe, loved, and happy. After moving to the United States, I began caring for dogs through Rover. I am working full time at Rover to help care for doggies, so I am always there for them. Since I am working full time for this, I can closely follow the doggie’s routines and note any special care they may need. In Irvine, I was grateful to earn five-star reviews and the trust of many wonderful families, with several becoming repeat clients. Now our family has moved to Berkeley because my daughter will be attending UC Berkeley. Hence, I’m accepting new clients in Berkeley!! I’m excited to continue caring for dogs in our new community. When choosing our new home, one of my top priorities was finding a place with a fully fenced private backyard so visiting dogs would have a safe, secure space to play, explore, and relax. Our new home has a lovely private backyard where doggies can walk in and out of our house freely and enjoy their time in the backyard as well. We also have a huge park (San Pablo Park) near our home, with an huge dog-friendly grass field, and I usually take doggies there for a walk. With 16 years of hands-on dog care experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, recovering from surgery, or simply needs extra love and attention, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d give my own family. My goal is simple: while you’re away, I want you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved like a member of the family. I also share daily photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing while you’re away.

i really trust hong with tony - he enjoys himself so much at their house and i know he’s safe :)
Hong and family continue to be our go to sitting/boarding option for our dog Beemo! At this point Beemo sees them as her second family/home in Berkeley and we’ll continue booking with them whenever we have to travel! 5/5 stars
We asked Hong to care for our two dachshunds at our home for 2 weeks. Like many people on Rover, she clearly loves dogs, but even more, she was an incredible caregiver to our beloved pets. They had multiple daily walks and play time and outdoor time sitting in the sun or the yard. One of our dogs has had spine surgery and is not as mobile as he used to be. She was so patient with him and his extremely slow walking, reactive barking, and need for regular potty breaks. She gave them terrific care and even made some suggestions for their diet. In addition to be an excellent dog lover and carer, she is an excellent communicator and very professional, sharing photos, videos, and updates that let us know our dogs were doing well. She also took great care of our home while we were away, even helping water our plants. We give Hong our highest recommendation.
Hong is a perfect sitter for Tony! She was super accommodating and sent very frequent updates. Tony loves her and her husband too! We will definitely book with her again.
I love leaving Tony with Hong! She provides so many photos and videos and I know my little guy is in great hands :)
Hong and her husband and daughter took great care of Bowser. They were really communicative and kept sending pictures and videos through the entire time. And the videos even had background music. I had to ask them to send them to some separately since they were so good. Would totally leave Bowser with them again.

Schedule
I’m currently not working and can spend time with doggies all day long. I am able to provide well-rounded care to them and could spare lots of energy and love to them.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide calm, structured, and attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are cared for in a clean, safe, and quiet environment with plenty of supervision. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walking, and rest, and I keep daily routines as consistent as possible to help pets feel secure. I make sure pets get appropriate exercise, fresh water, timely meals, and lots of gentle attention. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I communicate promptly with owners if anything seems off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s familiar routine, providing reliable care, companionship, and updates so owners can feel at ease.
