Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep things social but highly manageable so every dog gets the attention they deserve. On average, I host a small group of 2 to 5 dogs for daycare or boarding. I have a wonderful community of regular, returning dogs who visit me frequently. This creates a very familiar, calm, and stable environment where the pups know each other and feel right at home. And your dog will be able to easily join too! This is a clean, safe, fully insured home where your dog's routine is respected.

Information Yichen M. would like to know about your pet

Because of my own allergies, I only host small to medium hypoallergenic dogs. This keeps our space comfortable and ensures that all the dogs in our care are of a similar size, making playtime safe and easy. I also ask that your pets are up to date with vaccines and are neutered/spayed (if no longer a puppy) to ensure a harmonious environment for all the other dogs.

A typical day

Constant supervision and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Regular, honest photo and video updates so you can see how they are settling in. One of my favorite ways to care for my guests is by making wholesome, homemade dog treats. I will only share these with your pup if I have your explicit permission first. If your pup loves them, I also have bags available for purchase so they can enjoy their favorite treats at home.

Bring Your Fur Baby to be Spoiled

Pet care experience

WELCOME TO MY COZY HOME Hi there, I’m Yichen. Along with my dog, Ube, I provide a dedicated, warm, and structured environment for your pups. I truly believe our dogs deserve to be spoiled with comfort, attention, and care, which is why I take my pet-sitting business very seriously. To give you complete peace of mind, I am fully insured as a professional pet sitter. When your dog stays with me, they are treated just like a member of the family.

Excellent! Yichen was patient, reliable and communicative. I’d happily leave Coco with her again!

Yichen took great care of our dog while we were away for spring break. She kept sending us videos, pictures and messages of how our dog was doing. Our dog was very happy. Thank you, Yichen!

Yichen took wonderful care of our pups, Tori and Ryder. She was very attentive and loving, and sent thoughtful updates that gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend Yichen as a sitter.

I’m glad I found Yichen to board my dog. She sent daily updates of how my fur baby was doing and was very responsive. I can tell from the photos and videos that my dog was relaxed and was in good hands. I will be utilizing her services in the future. Thank you, Yichen and Ube!
