Pet care experience

Energetic Dog & Cat Lover | KR/ENG

Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets; my dad has two dogs, my brother’s family has three cats, and now my in-laws have two dogs. From ages 10 to 16, I had two Shih Tzus. For two years, I lived with my brother and helped care for his three cats. Since I was in my 20s they told me to cover my "rent" was to take care of the house, which included ma taking care of the cats. Since then, I’ve always been the person friends and family rely on when they need someone to watch their pets. Back when I lived in Korea, I volunteered at animal shelters, (which I heard run differently than here) helping care for dogs and supporting general shelter needs. In my spare time, I also visited dog cafés (very popular thing there) just to get my fix of "animal love". Sadly, my wife is allergic to animals, so we can’t have pets in our home. That’s one reason I value opportunities to care for others’ pets, it allows me to stay connected to something I’ve loved my entire life. Even with her allergies, she has a strong affinity for animals. Her mother was a veterinarian, and I’ve gained valuable knowledge about proper pet care through that family background as well. From the great knowledge she and her family has given me, I am glad I am able to take care of these pets all on my own. I live a very active lifestyle, I run every other day and go to the gym on alternating days, so I have the energy and stamina for long walks, play sessions, and high-energy dogs.

Highly Recommended! Sangmin was absolutely fantastic with our dog. Communication was incredible from start to finish. He was incredibly responsible and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away on our trip. If you are looking for a reliable, caring sitter who will treat your pup like their own, I highly recommend Sang Min. We will definitely be booking with him again!

Sangmin was amazing with Bruno! He gave him plenty of playtime, treats, and attention, and Bruno seemed extremely happy and comfortable in his care. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being looked after so well. I’d highly recommend Sangmin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter! :)

Sangmin is hands down the best sitter we have ever had! From the moment we dropped off our keys to the second we got back, he gave us 100% peace of mind. Communication with him was absolutely flawless—he sent us detailed updates, along with the sweetest photos and videos every single day. What truly amazed us was how quickly our pets bonded with him. Our cat, Int, usually hides the second a stranger walks into the house, but she immediately warmed up to Sangmin and even slept next to his head! Our dog, Double, can be a handful with his endless energy, but Sangmin managed his routine perfectly. He even went out of his way to give Double leg massages after playtime in the backyard—Double was absolutely in heaven! Sangmin truly goes above and beyond. Not only did he love and care for our pets as if they were his own, but he also left our house spotless. If you want a responsible, observant, and genuinely caring sitter, look no further. We will absolutely be booking Sangmin for all of our future trips. Highly recommend!

Sangmin took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! I came home to a happy, well cared for pet. She’s a shy girl and he really was considerate of her. I appreciated how great the communication was throughout the stay with regular updates as well as pictures of how our cat was doing. Would definitely book again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As a stay-at-home husband, I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’m available throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home by following the owner’s instructions carefully and keeping their routine consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep everything clean, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

A typical day

A typical visit includes fresh food and water, potty or litter care, and plenty of attention. For dogs, that means walks and playtime based on their energy level. For cats, interactive play or relaxed bonding time, depending on their personality. I keep routines consistent and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

Please tell me any and all important information about your pet so I can care for them the best way possible. I especially enjoy working with breeds that love outdoor playtime, since I’m very active and enjoy spending time outside.
