Hello! I’m originally from South Korea. In case you’re not very familiar with my country, I’d love to share a little about it. South Korea is a place where people truly love their pets. We have pet kindergartens, pet-friendly restaurants, and even cafés that host birthday parties for pets. Because Korea currently has one of the lowest birth rates in the world, pets are often treated like family members. If you visit Korea, you might even see strollers with little dogs inside instead of babies! As for me, my partner and I have a cat called JOJO. Her name comes from a character in a Japanese anime that I love. I hoped she would grow up brave like that character, but it turns out she is actually a very adorable — and very shy — cat. Over the past two years of raising JOJO, we’ve always been responsible for her, making sure she gets her regular vaccines, deworming, and check-ups. So far, she hasn’t had any serious illnesses. She was spayed at eight months old, has excellent behavior, is very confident at home, and doesn’t damage any furniture. When I first started living with JOJO, I realized that having a pet is not always easy. She used to wake me up at four in the morning, sometimes knocking over her water bowl to make noise. Once she even knocked a fish tank onto the floor, which made me worry that she might get hurt. That experience made me start learning more about animal behavior and pet psychology. Over time I learned that every pet has a unique personality. JOJO isn’t very motivated by food, but she loves playing. So now I spend about an hour every day playing with her, and she no longer wakes me up early in the morning. Instead, she quietly waits beside me until I wake up and then happily runs around the house. I’ve been living with JOJO for almost two years now. She has taught me patience and how important it is to respect every animal’s personality. I will take the time to understand your pet’s personality and care for them with the same love and patience I give to JOJO. To me, animals are not just pets — they are companions we grow and share our lives with. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. If you have a dog, please don’t worry! I’ve been walking friends’ dogs in Korea since middle school. I’ve walked small and medium breeds like Maltese and Teddy dogs, and I know how to make sure they have water and pick up after them. So you can rest assured I can handle that. For large dogs, I might not be able to walk them, but I’m happy to come to your home and spend the day playing with your dog. If you don’t mind a little “disturbance,” I can even send you a hundred photos in one day to keep you relaxed—haha!
