Pet care experience

Loving Golden Retriever Mom

Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I cared for my Shih Tzu for 14 years, from puppy to senior, so I have experience with both playful young dogs and older dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I have also fostered two medium-breed rescue dogs, which helped me learn how to build trust and create a calm, comforting environment. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I treat every dog with kindness, patience, and the same care I would want for my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For home visits and dog walking, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets get the attention they need, whether that means feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, or a nice walk. Safety is very important to me, so I am careful with leashing, entry and exit, and paying attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level. I always aim to provide calm, loving, and trustworthy care.

Sooyoung took great care of my pup while I was out of town; this was my first time using rover and I will definitely be booking again next time the need arises. She was thorough prior to our first visit asking questions to understand our needs and my dog. Overall very pleased and would recommend Sooyoung.

Before our visit, I would love to know anything important about your pet’s routine and personality so I can care for them as safely and comfortably as possible. Please let me know about their energy level, temperament, any fears or triggers, dietary restrictions, medications, special needs, walking habits, and anything they especially like or dislike. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
