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 was a great communicator throughout my Tofu’s stay. She sent me daily photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how Tofu was doing. I really appreciated the regular updates and care she provided. I would definitely recommend Hong and would be happy to have her watch Tofu again!
Hong provided exceptional care for Buddy! She was attentive, trustworthy, and treated him with so much kindness throughout his stay and updated us with daily pictures and videos of Buddy. What truly stood out was her thoughtfulness afterward—she took the extra time to reach out and check on how Buddy was settling back in at home. It’s rare to find someone who cares so genuinely about the pets they look after. I highly recommend Hong to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible pet sitter!
Thanks for another great day for Quentin!
Vicky provided excellent and loving care for my dog. The day before drop off, Vicky suggested a meet and greet, which made an immediate impression. I felt very confident leaving my dog in her care while I was away. Vicky was especially sensitive and attentive to my dog Swisher, as he is a senior and visually impaired. I received daily pictures, videos and messages, assuring me that Swisher was in great care. Vicky checked in the day after I picked up Swisher, just to make certain he was ok.
Rebooked for our pug and went great as usual! Always keeping me updated with video and photos so I never have to worry how she is doing while I’m on vacation.
Second time staying with hong. I received great videos and photos.of Quentin’s day and picked up a happy dog. We will be back!

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.🎾🦴
