Pet care experience
Home Away From Home! 🐾
Hi, I am Hong, you can call me Vicky too. For 18 wonderful years, my life revolved around my sweet Mini Schnauzer. From the playful puppy days to the gentle senior years, I've lovingly navigated every stage. I understand the unique needs of both growing puppies and older dogs—whether it’s extra cuddles, gentle walks, or medication management. I’ve been around dogs for over 20 years—starting in my student days, when I would help friends care for their dogs during the holidays. It’s something I’ve always truly enjoyed. Now, I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone! Your furry family member will be treated with kindness, respect, and the same deep devotion I’ve always given. They'll enjoy constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and all the cuddles they desire. 📢Why Choose Me? ⭐️ Constant Companionship: As someone who works from home, I provide near-constant supervision and company, ensuring your pet feels secure and never lonely. ⭐️ Proven Patience & Love: Having raised a dog to 18 years, I have a deep well of patience and understanding for every personality and need. ⭐️Seamless Communication: I am fluent in both English and Chinese（中文）, ensuring clear, easy, and worry-free updates for you. ⭐️ A Ready, Dog-Safe Home: My home is quiet, safe, and ready to welcome your pet without the stress of other resident animals.

Ratings and reviews
Hong is delightful. She arrived on time and gained the confidence of my cats right away. She is gentle and patient and was very interested in the cats' routines and habits so that she could build a strong rapport with them as she cares for them in other visits. Excellent!
Hong was very sweet and attentive. Always got pics and videos of my pup daily as well as making the whole boarding process super easy by doing a meet and greet and constant updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be boarding my pups again soon!
Toby had an amazing time staying with Hong! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. We highly recommend Hong, and Toby will definitely be returning for another stay!
Vicki is such a wonderful pet sitter. I truly love that she took care of my love ones as if they were hers. She did exactly what I had given her for instructions and more. She is a very trustworthy sitter and would highly recommend her for new clients looking for pet sitter. Vicki was very prompt as well with updates and sending videos and pictures which made it that much more easier to not worry my loves ones behind. She has definitely earned my trust with my babies and they (my dogs) loved her soo much as well that they did not want to go home. lol 😂 Thank you soo very much Vicki for being a great help to my furry family and myself.
We had left our fur baby with Hong for the week of our wedding! Even just driving up to Hongs house, our dog started wagging her tail uncontrollably. She loves it there! While we were very occupied with family and celebrations, Hong kept me and my wife in the know with how our Lylla girl was doing. Constant pictures and videos throughout the week. Hong is a true dog person, who treats our baby with the utmost love and respect. I will never have anyone else watch my pup other than Hong if given the chance 💙
As always, Hong provided exceptional care for my Husky boy and kept me informed about his progress. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.

My work situation is great because I'm home-based and have a lot of flexibility with my time. I have the freedom to provide attention and potty breaks throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is my top priority. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed, clean, and hazard-free environment. I am meticulous about following all owner instructions for feeding, medication, and routines to provide a stress-free experience. A Note on Health & Safety (For All Our Well-being): To ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I kindly require that all pets in my care are fully vaccinated and on a proven flea/tick prevention program. As my canine guests are welcome on my furniture and even to snuggle in my bed, this is essential for everyone's comfort and health. My goal is to provide a "home away from home" where your pet feels loved, secure, and happily exhausted.
A typical day
My pet's day is packed with activity and fun, beginning with a morning stroll. We hit at least three walks daily, plus ball games and play. Everything is customized to their energy, and I have a huge supply of toys and treats to meet all their needs.🎾🦴
