Safety, trust & environment

My place is a third-floor townhome plan, and it’s 1,500 sq ft. I don’t leave my place for three hours a day unless there is a special occasion. We have three cats at home who are shy but sweet and wouldn’t ever bother the dog. They are all fully vaccinated, including rabies. We have many hiking trails, beach walks, and parks near our place, so we can go to entertain the dogs as much as they want:) If you allow us, we can take the baby for a beach day too!😉

Information HYO YI K. would like to know about your pet

I want to ensure they are comfortable with cats, as I have three. I don’t want any trouble between them, as accidents might happen. My cats are shy so that they wouldn’t bother the dog.

A typical day

I have a high empathy towards animals and can connect emotionally really well. I will communicate and cuddle all day, and it’ll be easy to identify their needs. I will ensure they don’t miss their parents while they are with me. Also, I will make sure you guys don’t feel separation anxiety by sending lots of cute photos of them, because I know how you feel leaving them😉 (I am good at taking photos too!) I can go out for a walk as often as they need, as I love walking and hiking.

Pet care experience

I’m confident your baby won’t miss mommy and daddy while in my care. We’ll spend quality time walking, running, and hiking as much as they’d like, plus plenty of cuddles in between. I know exactly how hard it is to leave a pet behind, so I make sure every pet parent gets regular updates and cute photos to ease separation anxiety (I have one with my pets😉🤣). I’m also a skilled photographer, so you’ll get great shots of your baby having a blast. I’m a huge animal lover, the kind whose feed is entirely animals, including species some people find intimidating. I’ve had all kinds of pets over the years, and every one of them outlived its expected lifespan under my care. I’ve looked after family and friends’ dogs since I was a kid, and for the past several years I’ve spent a month annually caring for my aunt’s elderly dog, who is deaf and blind and only trusts me with her care. Since I’m almost always home and only leave to exercise, I can play and cuddle with your pet all day long. Being athletic myself and having easy access to great trails and walking routes nearby makes me an ideal dog walker. My partner, a former tennis player, is also an expert at fetch at the park right next to us.

Hyo is the best , super professional and very good with dogs. We contacted her last minute and she still managed to take care of Porcini . Thank you Hyo I highly recommend her.

Rachel was excellent. My dog loved her! She was so great in decreasing my pup's anxiety and nervousness! She sent me great pics and videos so I knew my pup was adjusting. I would 100 percent reccomend her!
