About joonshik m.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, my priority is to follow the established routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I strictly adhere to feeding schedules and exercise habits. Beyond basic care, I focus on: Safety & Security: Ensuring doors are locked and the environment is safe before I leave. Companionship: Spending quality time playing, cuddling, or simply being present so they don't feel lonely. Home Care: I’m happy to bring in the mail or water plants to keep your home running smoothly. In my home, I provide a 'home-away-from-home' experience. I offer a pet-friendly, supervised environment where your pet is treated like a member of my own family. Adaptability: I designate specific areas for rest and play based on your pet’s comfort level. Constant Supervision: Pets are never left unattended with other animals, and I ensure a calm atmosphere. Daily Updates: I send frequent photos and video updates so you can see how well your pet is settling in. Regardless of the location, I prioritize clear communication with owners and provide a detailed report after each session.

Information joonshik m. would like to know about your pet
Medical History & Special Needs: "I need to be aware of any pre-existing health conditions, allergies, or required medications (including dosage and administration methods). Also, knowing your preferred emergency vet's contact information is essential for safety." Dietary Routines: "Consistency is key for a pet's digestive health. I'll need to know their exact feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any 'off-limits' human foods or specific treats they love." Behavioral Quirks & Temperament: "Does your pet have any fears (like thunder or loud noises)? How do they react to strangers or other animals during walks? Understanding their body language and 'triggers' helps me keep them calm and safe." House Rules & Training Cues: "I want to maintain the structure you’ve built. Knowing specific commands (sit, stay, off) and what behaviors are allowed (e.g., are they allowed on the sofa?) helps prevent confusion for the pet." Daily Routine & Comforts: "Knowing their favorite sleeping spots, toy preferences, and typical exercise routine helps me make them feel right at home while you're away."
A typical day
Tailored Exercise: For high-energy dogs, this might include brisk walks, jogging, or active games of fetch in a secure yard or at a local park (with owner permission). For more relaxed pets, we'll enjoy leisurely strolls and plenty of comfortable cuddle time. Mental Stimulation & Enrichment: I love using puzzle toys, engaging in scent games like 'find the treat,' or practicing fun, new tricks (like "sit pretty" or "wave") using positive reinforcement. This keeps their minds active and prevents boredom. Interactive Play: Games of hide-and-seek, tug-of-war, or chase are great for building a bond and providing physical and mental engagement. For cats, this could involve playtime with a laser pointer or new toys to encourage their natural hunting instincts. Comfort & Routine: Most importantly, I focus on maintaining their established routine and providing a calm, safe environment. Lots of affectionate petting, brushing, and simply talking to them helps them feel secure and loved while their owners are away."

Reviews
Joonshik took absolutely amazing care of my dog Robin while I was away for a flight, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, he was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He sent regular photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it easy to see that Robin was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My dog is very attached to me, and I truly consider her one of my kids, and knowing she was in such wonderful hands made all the difference. Joonshik went above and beyond to make sure she felt safe and loved, and that meant everything to me. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!
He is very responsible and he loves dogs and always treat dog very well. He stays home most of his time spending time with his pet. He has a lot of knowledge and experience on dogs.
