Pet care experience

Dedicated pet lover-Work from home

Hi fellow pet parents! If you’re looking for a sitter who can take care of your pet almost as well as you would and also serve your needs as a pet parent, you’ll be happy with me! I used Rover (and other pet sitters) many times for my dog that passed recently after being with me for almost 19 years. These are some of the things I know as a pet parent: There’s nothing like a lack of updates from the sitters that made me worry and anxious while I was traveling. There’s nothing like happy looking pet that made me feel relieved when I came home from my trip. When I take care of your pet, I will make sure not only that your pet is pampered and receive plenty of love but also your needs while separated from your baby be addressed. I am a former professor turned freelancer, working from home. Being a homebody, I’m pretty much at home most of time, which worked very well for my senior dog that needed a lot of care and attention. I have extensive experience with dogs but I have plenty of experience taking care of cats as well. I have a cousin who is a veterinarian, and I can ask him any questions while taking care of your pet.

An amazing and super accommodating sitter who stepped in amidst last-minute travel chaos with a welcome smile, then totally spoiled our Laika with walks and attention. We managed to escape Brooklyn with peace of mind that she was being well loved. Wouldn't hesitate to use again!

Highly recommend Hyeyoung as a pet sitter!!! My pup was very nervous and she was so patient with him and went above and beyond to make him feel relaxed. Best communication I've ever had with a dog sitter. Trust her completely and will absolutely use her again.

Hyeyoung is an amazing sitter! She made sure my dog was comfortable and updated me throughout and after his stay. She is very detail oriented and dedicated to her work. I would really recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter that they can trust.

Safety, trust & environment

My coop is super pet-friendly and has a great private outdoor setting. It's equipped with a private dog run, extensive garden area, and other private outdoor areas. I live alone in one bedroom apt, with plenty of room to play fetch.

A typical day

Our activities depend on the condition and preference of your dogs (e.g., level of energy, what they like). I can take out your dog for multiple short bathroom breaks and walk around the garden or take him/her for a play time at a dog run, or take him/her to a dog park (there are 2 around my home). I’m also super close to the Cadman Plaza Park. The Brooklyn Bridge park (used to be my dog’s fav spot) is only 10min away. If your dog doesn’t like a long walk, I also use my sack to take your dog (if small enough) for outing as I did for my senior dog. If weather allows, I can take your dog for outdoor activities (there are many parks perfect for picnic around my home).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Hyeyoung can host up to 3 pets per night
I would need to know if your dog gets along with with other dogs. If they are potty trained, how well-behaved, and basic level of training. I’d also like to know if your pet has any specific needs and/or concerns.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
