"Dogs Are My Life! A Devoted Dog Lover at Heart"

Pet care experience

I'm not doing this job for the money; I do it purely out of love furry kids and I enjoy being with the them. Parents who trust me can contact me anytime. My pet care experience is my life with an Alaskan Malamute ( now she is 5 years old) in China, a journey that has taught me patience, understanding, and the nuanced care that large, energetic breeds require. This experience has honed my ability to cater to the physical needs of large breeds, from exercise routines to dietary management, ensuring they are not just cared for but truly thrive. Moreover, I've developed a keen sense for understanding and responding to a dog's individual needs and signals, which is vital for creating a comfortable and safe environment for them. My expertise extends to puppy training, where I focus on basic commands and socialization, setting a foundation for a well-behaved adult dog. For senior dogs, I offer gentle care that respects their pace and physical limitations, including administering medication, providing comfortable resting spaces, and ensuring they have moderate, low-impact exercise to maintain their health without overexertion. My approach to pet sitting is holistic, considering not just the physical but also the emotional and psychological well-being of the pets under my care. I believe in building a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel secure and loved, just as they would with their own families. This emotional connection, combined with my technical skills and experience, makes me a trusted choice for pet parents seeking a sitter who offers more than just basic care but a loving, nurturing environment for their cherished companions.

I am willing to go to the pet owner's home to provide door-to-door pet service, but I need the owner's consent and try to have cameras at home. I promise not to touch or take anything at home, but valuables must be kept safe!

Information shihao y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance about your dog's temperament, whether they are gentle or have any aggression, so I can tailor my care strategy accordingly.

A typical day

A typical day caring for your furry friends starts with understanding each dog's unique personality and activity preferences, which I always discuss with you, the pet parent, beforehand. Here’s how I tailor activities by age, ensuring each dog has a joyful and fulfilling day: For Puppies: Puppies are bundles of energy and curiosity! Our day begins with a short, gentle walk to let them explore and expend some energy. Back home, we engage in interactive play sessions with toys that stimulate their minds and encourage healthy development. I incorporate basic training commands like ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ into playtime, turning learning into a fun game. Puppy naps are crucial, so we have plenty of cozy downtime too. For Adult Dogs: Adult dogs have established routines and preferences. Our activities range from longer walks or hikes tailored to their fitness level, to specific games they love, whether it’s fetch or tug-of-war. If they enjoy socializing, a visit to the local dog park can be arranged, allowing them to interact with other dogs under close supervision. There’s also time for relaxation and cuddles, ensuring they feel loved and secure. For Senior Dogs: With senior dogs, the focus is on gentle care and comfort. Our day includes short, leisurely walks in quiet, familiar areas to keep them engaged without overexertion. At home, we spend time with soothing activities like gentle brushing or simply sitting together in a sunny spot. I ensure they have easy access to their favorite resting places and provide lots of affection to keep their spirits high. Across all ages, I prioritize safety, comfort, and the well-being of each dog, making sure they receive the right balance of activity, rest, and love. Every day is about creating joyful moments and a sense of belonging for your beloved pets.
