Pet care experience
Educated, Passionate Care
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, ASK ME FOR A $20 PROMO CODE Experienced and responsible. Dog care and training with safety and enrichment in mind. Life-long dog lover! Dog walking is not a side-hustle for me. My goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct in every walk! 7-year experience raising my rescue 60lb pit-shepherd mix with reactivity issues. I have hands-on experience handling reactivity, leash-pulling, fear and stress in city dogs, through weekly volunteer work at local shelters. I pay close attention to each pup's needs and take guardians' notes seriously. I walk and train using science-based, relationship-focused methods — not dominance, for lasting behavior. I'm working towards my CPDT-KA and CCDT through CATCH Professional Dog Training Academy. I am also a guardian of 2 rescue tabbies - Sol & Luna.

Safety, trust & environment
A first 15-min meet and greet is a must for all walks to review your needs and your pup's routine, gears, personality, leash skills and any reactivity concerns. I am highly diligent on walks to look out for potential triggers and avoid scavenging. A safe distance from other dogs and humans is always maintained. I give them plenty of time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. The goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct on every walk! I never let dogs off-leash or go into dog parks. If your dog likes to play, I can keep them on a long leash for run and chase time.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Sin Ying for years, and she is one of the few people I’ve always felt completely comfortable trusting with my pets. She has cared for my dogs, Layla and Lucy, many times in the past, and she has also helped take care of my cat, Zeni. Sin Ying genuinely loves animals, and it really shows in the way she treats them. She is caring, patient, responsible, and very dependable. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs and cats, and there have been several times when she has given me helpful advice about their care and well-being. I never had to worry when my pets were with her because I knew they were being treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. I would absolutely recommend Sin Ying to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. Your pets will be in very good hands with her!
