Pet care experience

Need someone? I’m there.

I really enjoy being around dog, they bring me joy. I personally own a Maltese and I’ve helped raise a shiba inu plus husky for the past year. I like taking them on walks/runs and going to dog parks with them. I can handle a wide variety of dogs small and large. Every dog is unique and have different needs, I am more than happy to give them what they want! I’m rarely late to work and practice so you can count on me being there on time! I am good at feeding them at the correct times and not giving them too much. Even though these dogs are not mine I will treat them with kindness and love that they deserve! I hope I’m your person!

House Sitting • mar. 09, 2026

very easy to work with and did a great job caring for our dogs. He kept us updated throughout the visits, was reliable, and made sure our dogs were well taken care of. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away.

Joo-Young was an awesome dog sitter and made us feel way better having to leave our dog behind while traveling! He was flexible, went out of his way to get comfortable with our dog ahead of time, was extremely responsive, sent a ton of pictures and videos to us along the way. I would highly recommend using his services as needed. Our initially shy dog is way happier around other dogs now thanks to Joo-Young's puppers also being well-trained and happy. It made us exceedingly happy seeing the videos of our dog start playing and interacting with other dogs so a huge thank you!

This is the second time I booked Joo and he was great as always. Joo has taken good care of my dog when he was not well and gave me continuous updates on his well being. Had a wonderful vacation without any stress as my dog was in good hands. I would recommend and rebook him for sure.

This was my second time hiring Joo-Young for boarding in less than a month. He is reliable and came through for me in a pinch!
