As a current student and full-time homemaker, I have the ample time and energy necessary to dedicate to your dog's care. My university schedule is highly flexible, consisting of morning classes only, four days a week (Monday through Thursday). This means I am generally available for dog pick-ups and care starting from lunchtime onward. For urgent needs, I can often coordinate an earlier morning pick-up. Furthermore, from mid-December, my weekday morning schedule will also be completely free. Overall, I am able to devote my entire weekday afternoons and all weekend hours to ensuring your dog receives consistent attention, exercise, and companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

Although I live in an apartment without a private yard, our neighborhood boasts a large, well-maintained complex with extensive green spaces and public parks, creating a highly pet-friendly atmosphere where many residents enjoy peaceful walks. I am fully committed to customizing the frequency and duration of walks to match your dog's specific needs and routine. Regarding the home environment, I take pride in maintaining an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness: I conduct a thorough deep cleaning of my entire apartment at least every two weeks. This diligent management of the living space ensures a safe, sanitary, and clutter-free environment, meaning you never have to worry about your dog picking up or ingesting anything harmful.

Information Soomin P. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your dog has the safest and happiest visit, please tell me all the important things about their behavior or any medications they need. Because of my special experience, I am the best fit for small or medium dogs under 40 pounds who need a little extra care. I really need your honest information to keep our home a calm and stress-free place for everyone!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally with a structured routine. Our home location is fantastic: even though we are in an apartment, we have access to plenty of beautiful green space for exploration and great socialization with other dogs. We balance this activity with quiet rest, ensuring your pup is happy, healthily tired, and ready for a comfortable night’s sleep.

18 Yrs Love & Care for Small Paws

Pet care experience

With over 18 years of continuous, deep experience, beginning with my 3-4kg Toy Poodle, I offer a level of meticulous, expert care that applies to all small dogs (not just seniors) who require medical proficiency and detailed attention. My extensive background in managing demanding needs—including post-surgical recovery, specialized diets, medication administration, and hands-on patellar luxation rehabilitation—has honed my ability to quickly spot and document even the slightest change in a dog’s condition, providing peace of mind to owners of any age dog. In addition to this high-level attentiveness, I maintain an exceptionally clean and sanitary home environment for maximum comfort and health. While introverted, I am an active person who loves outdoor exercise, ensuring your dog receives both stimulating play and consistent, compassionate care, a commitment proven by my successful fostering placements in both Korea and the U.S.

Soomin is, without question, one of the most dedicated and loving dog caregivers I have ever known. I personally witnessed the incredible commitment she showed to her own poodle, whom she raised from her elementary school days until the dog was 18 years old. Her devotion and gentle care, especially during her dog's senior years, were truly remarkable. Beyond her lifelong companionship, Soomin also has experience fostering a dog for six months, patiently nurturing it until it was ready for adoption. She is deeply committed to a dog's complete well-being—both physical health and emotional stability—and she is always eager to learn more to provide the best care possible. Her genuine love for dogs is evident in everything she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a caregiver.
