Highlights
Pet care experience
🐶🐱Pet Lover Master Student 🎓🦮
As a professional pet caretaker with a passion for animals, I have the experience and skills necessary to provide top-notch care for your beloved pets. Although my academic background is in oceanography🌊, I have had a deep love for dogs and cats since I was a child💕. I raised two beautiful Samoyeds in my hometown. Since moving away, I have spent time connecting with other pet owners and have even become best friends with a mini goldendoodle owner🦮. I excel in caring for puppies under one year old. Currently, my neighbor has a young Samoyed girl whom I've been helping look after since she was three months old. Whenever her owner is busy, I accompany her, play with her, and take her for walks and hikes. With my diverse experience and genuine affection for animals, I am confident that I can offer the loving care and attention your pets deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Yachen and Jarin are honestly the best dog sitters I’ve ever left my Milo with. I was provided with detailed updates every 3-4 hours with pictures. Yachen and Jarin were extremely considerate and loving to my boy. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. 10/10 recommend
Jarin and Yachin were very diligent with my cats sending detailed reports and photos. The house was clean when I arrived home and cats seemed well adjusted. They did a great job! Would highly recommend them and use them again.
Yachen and Yarin were the best people i could ever find for my dog! It was my first time leaving him to go away in vacation and every pet mom knows how much anxiety that gives you. I got updates every 3-4 hours and they followed his same schedule and asked me all the necessary questions. I got lots and lots of photos and I could easily tell how much Ace loved both of them by simply being silly and showing his little belly. They gave him long walks and lots of love every second and i was so grateful for that. 100/10!
Yachen and Jarin took meticulous care of JJ and were extremely communicative while I was away. Very grateful that my boy was in such capable hands and I definitely hope to book them again in the future! 🧡
I’m so thankful to Yachen for her thoughtful care and updates. I think our dog was nervous but she handled him well and kept us up to date. It’s a relief to know our dog was treated so well.
We had an excellent experience with Yachen and her husband. We needed someone last minute to pop in, feed, walk and hang out with our dog while we were at a wedding. They made themselves available and even came beforehand for a quick meet and greet. Rico is a little protective when someone new first walks in and they were very patient with him. He loved his walk and they sent lots of pictures. Thank you so much Yachen!

Schedule
As a marine science researcher transitioning to working from home starting in May, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that your pet receives ample attention and companionship. With a flexible work schedule, I can dedicate significant time to looking after your pet, engaging in activities such as walks, playtime, and socialization. I am also fortunate to have a close-knit group of friends who own various breeds of dogs, including goldendoodles, Samoyeds, and cavapoos. We gather on a weekly basis, providing an excellent opportunity for your pet to become part of a friendly dog community. These social interactions contribute to your pet's overall well-being and happiness, as they can develop and maintain essential social skills with other dogs. In addition to these weekly gatherings, I will tailor my daily routine to accommodate your pet's individual needs, such as feeding times, exercise, and any specific care requirements. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe, and enjoyable experience for your pet while they are under my care. With my adaptable schedule and passion for animals, I am confident that I can provide the best possible care for your pet as part of my daily and weekly routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my own home, I reside in a comfortable and pet-friendly apartment with my boyfriend. We have taken the necessary measures to ensure that our living space is safe and secure for pets, with no hazardous materials or objects within their reach. Our spacious Jeep is also suitable for transporting most pets, making it convenient for trips to the park, vet, or other locations. When providing care in a client's home, I maintain the same high standards of safety and cleanliness. I diligently follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet owner to ensure the utmost comfort and well-being of their pets. Trust is of utmost importance to me, so I always strive to be transparent and communicative with my clients, keeping them updated on their pets' activities and well-being. In both situations, I focus on creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for the pets under my care. This includes providing physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction to keep them happy, healthy, and well-adjusted. Rest assured, your pets' safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities as a professional pet caretaker.
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, so I always tailor the day to their needs and routine. For dogs, we’ll enjoy walks, playtime, sniffing adventures, and plenty of affection. For cats, I’ll spend quality time playing, brushing (if they enjoy it), or simply keeping them company. I’ll also make sure fresh water is always available, meals are on schedule, and I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates so you can relax while you’re away.

- Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite toys, fears, triggers, or any special needs. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with new people and other animals, and any commands or habits they’re used to. My goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
