I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.

Information Zoey L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog has any of the following: Medical needs: medications, allergies, injuries, or special conditions I should be aware of Behavioral quirks: fear of other dogs, separation anxiety, aggression around food or toys, or anything that triggers anxiety Leash habits: pulls hard, reacts to squirrels/other dogs, or is perfectly calm Energy level: high-energy and needs lots of play and long walks, or low-energy and prefers naps and short strolls Potty schedule: how often they typically need to go out Commands they know: sit, stay, leave it, etc. – so I can be consistent with their training Anything that scares them: loud noises, thunderstorms, vacuum cleaners, etc. Favorite things: toys, treats, games, or routines that make them happy The more I know ahead of time, the better and safer the experience will be for your dog. No detail is too small!

A typical day

I love making sure every dog has a great time while they're with me! Depending on the dog's energy level and what they enjoy most, here are some activities I do: Long walks around the neighborhood Frisbee or fetch Trips to dog parks and beaches: I've done this quite often before and would happily do it with permission Couch cuddles Playtime breaks Photo and video time to share with the owners Every dog is different, so I pay attention to what makes them happiest and tailor our activities to their personality. My goal is to make sure they're not just cared for, but genuinely having fun.

Zoey L.'s Neighborhood

Me and dogs, we love each other!

Pet care experience

I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them.

Xi took care of my cat for 2 weeks when I was traveling, and she was a great pet sitter! She was super responsible and was familiar with how to give food, water, clean waste, and play with my cat. She would send me adorable pictures and update me every 2-3 days so that I can see how my cat was doing and not being lonely. My cat feels happy and comfortable staying with Xi. She has taken care of many pets for friends and she definitely loves pets. Highly recommend if you want to find a perfect pet sitter!!

Xi was great! She is super responsive and is always with the dogs. She plays with them and even took them to the dog park! Wonka loved his stay with her and will be back :)
