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.

Information hong z. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best possible care, please inform me in advance of any special habits, needs, or behaviors your pet has. This open communication helps me ensure a seamless and positive stay for your furry family member.

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.🎾🦴

Pet care experience

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.

As always, Hong provided exceptional care for my Husky boy and kept me informed about his progress. I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.

Hong watched our dog Lylla for a daycare, and Lylla had an amazing time!! Our dog isn't the most trusting with people but she absolutely loved spending time with Hong. I was also sent updates throughout the day which was very much appreciated!! We will most definitely be bringing Lylla back to spend time with Hong 💙

We’re really happy with our experience! Hong was kind, reliable, and easy to communicate with. They kept us updated with messages and photos, which made us feel so much more at ease while we were away. Our dog looked happy and relaxed, and it was clear they were being well taken care of. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pet, but this felt very comfortable and natural. We’d absolutely book again and would highly recommend them!
