Pet care experience
Hello! I’m a young professional working from home with a super flexible schedule and lots of love & experience with both dogs and cats. I’d love to be your dog’s next walker or cat‘s sitter! I grew up with a pet Maltese and now have an orange cat back at my parents' home. Our Maltese had quite the energy and attitude, so I know how to firmly but still lovingly handle dogs who can be extra energetic or demanding. My current family cat is now older and quite cuddly, needing a lot of hands-on attention! So whether your cat needs active playtime, cuddles, or just a calming presence nearby, I'm able to adjust to their needs. I've done in-home pet sitting throughout high school as a part-time job, both for cats and dogs. I'm most comfortable with cats and smaller/medium-sized dogs, but I am also comfortable with larger dogs as long as they walk well on a leash. I'm experienced with walking your dogs around the busy streets of NYC (making sure they don't get into anything nasty on the streets!).
Reviews
Jiyoon is such a great sitter! She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Highly recommended!
Jiyoon is absolutely fantastic! We hate to leave our nearly 16 year old dog when we have to go out so it's extremely important that someone who we feel comfortable with comes into our home to take care of him for us. Jiyoon was diligent about following the instructions for his care and gave him the extra love he needs now that he's in his senior years. She was so upbeat and kind so we certainly hope to work with her again soon! We highly recommend, Jiyoon!
Jiyoon was amazing with my dog! She was not only professional and attentive but also showed a genuine love for the animals. I am so grateful and will definitely be asking for Jiyoon's help again next time!
Jiyoon did a great job sitting and walking our 10 month-old puppy, Peppo, over the course of three days. She loved Jiyoon and we would definitely rebook in the future!
About Jiyoon C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When coming into your home for walks or drop-in visits, I try to be as non-intrusive as possible and leave things as I found them. If your pet makes any minor messes while I am there, I’m happy to help clean up! I always pay attention to your pet’s body language to gauge their needs, whether they want active playtime or personal space. If you have any specific requests for routines, giving them treats, or specific toys to play with them, just let me know!
Information Jiyoon C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pets have any routines you want them to follow, such as having your pup's paws wiped when coming back inside. If your pets have any health concerns to watch out for (ex. my cat often throws up if he's left to eat too fast), please let me know! Please also let me know about your pet's feeding routines if applicable, as well as their temperament, socialization with people/other animals, triggers, or any special habits that are helpful for me to know when caring for your pet.
A typical day
Taking your dog to their favorite park to play fetch, walking around the neighborhood, practicing tricks with treats and lots of cuddles! For cats, I love playing with them with toys or doing puzzles with them (my cat loves when I hide treats or have him figure out how to get treats out from under different objects). I know some cats are cuddly and some are not, so I can adjust according to their needs!

Availability
I'm currently working remotely full-time, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I do have the occasional call or meetings between 12pm-4pm, but am still available and flexible to drop in during this time. Outside of that window, I am pretty much available almost whenever for walks or drop-ins. I am pretty active and already try to get outside for a walk at least once a day, so getting to walk your dog would be a bonus :) Since moving away from my family, I miss hanging out with furry friends and would love to shower your pets with love and attention!
