Expert Care for Any Breed,Any Need

I’m a dedicated pet lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even exotics like corn snakes and lizards! I pride myself on being patient, gentle, and attentive to every pet's unique personality. Your furry (or scaly!) family members will enjoy a warm, home-like environment with plenty of love. I have a very reliable home and a safe vehicle for any needs. Plus, I love capturing the moment—expect plenty of daily photo updates so you can see your baby happy and thriving while you're away!

Yaqi was so patient with Pocky! I really appreciated how attentive she was and how she provided updates with photos. Pocky is usually a bit anxious when meeting new people but she was comfortable and seemed to really enjoy her time with Yaqi.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Yaqi! She took care of our dog, Lego, for two weeks, and from the very beginning she treated him as if he were her own. Lego is very spoiled and used to lots of love and attention, and Yaqi went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and happy. She kept us updated, showered him with affection, snuggled with him, and even hand-fed him when he didn’t feel like eating. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about his well-being and wanted him to feel loved while we were away. Knowing that Lego was in such caring hands gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had formed a special bond with Yaqi. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention she gave him. We would trust Yaqi with Lego again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family. Thank you, Yaqi, for spoiling our little guy and loving him so well! ❤️🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Safety comes first. I double-check doors, leashes, and harnesses, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and keep homes tidy. You’ll receive timely updates with photos/videos after each visit. I treat every pet like my own.

A typical day

Safety is my top priority. I always double-check doors, leashes, and harnesses. I carefully follow owners’ instructions for feeding, walks, and medication. My home is quiet, clean, and dog-friendly, with plenty of space to play and rest.
