Pet care experience

Full-Time · Calm · Safe · Loving

I’m a full-time stay-at-home dog owner, so your dog will always have company, care, and attention throughout the day — never left alone. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making them feel safe and relaxed, just like they are at home. I’m happy to keep you updated every morning or after check-in, and I will also share photos and videos in the midday and evening/night so you can stay connected and see how your pup is doing at any time. I have experience with small, medium and large breeds, including my friendly and well-socialized German Shepherd and Huskey Mix. I can provide a peaceful, loving environment where your dog/dogs can feel comfortable, happy, secure, and truly cared for. I occasionally take interesting photos/videos of dogs in my care and may share them on my social media channels. If you prefer that your dog’s photos/videos not be used, please let me know.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 27, 2026

Ying provided such wonderful and professional care for our puppy, Friday! He received so much love, patience, and attention while staying at her home, and he had an amazing time playing with both people and other dogs. Ying also kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind and let us see how much fun Friday was having. ❤️ We truly appreciate how caring and patient Ying was with Friday. We felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care, and we would absolutely trust her with Friday again!

Ying was absolutely amazing! She was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. She was very communicative with morning, midday, and evening updates which I loved. And lots of videos and pics! I know Roscoe loved being in her home as he had friends to play with and cozy spots to curl up in the sun. Thank you again!

Boarding • Aug 16, 2026

Ying provided a fantastic boarding experience for 16 days for my dog. She took my dog for at least two walks per day, played fetch with her every day, and also took her on a longer hike. She sent me extensive updates three times per day with numerous photos and videos. The detailed information allowed me to see that my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Ying’s dog Charlie is also incredibly gentle and calm, and although my dog is often anxious around other dogs, they became great friends. While I was away, my dog also developed some irritation in her paws, likely due to pre-existing allergies. Ying informed me promptly and treated the problem effectively per my instructions, and her paws were completely healed by the time I returned to pick her up. I highly recommend Ying for boarding and I won’t hesitate to use her again the next time I travel.

Ying took such amazing care of our dog, Bailey! She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos! He seemed to really enjoy her pup and met a few more friends at her place too! She followed all of our instructions, and truly got to know him and listen to his cues. Thank you!!!!

Schedule

I stay home most of the day, so dog care fits naturally into my daily routine. Dogs receive around-the-click supervision. - A typical day includes a morning walk, backyard playtime or neighborhood/park walks in the afternoon or evening. Dogs also have plenty of time to relax indoors in a calm and safe home environment. - I can maintain each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and rest time. My friendly German Shepherd mix also enjoys having playmates, so visiting dogs often get both companionship and exercise. I definitely make sure your dogs receive plenty of care and attention. I normally send morning/midday/night updates and pictures/videos.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, clean, and safe home where dogs are always supervised. Because I stay home through-out the day, pets will never left alone. All furry friends will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. My home also has a secure fenced yard, which allows dogs to enjoy safe outdoor playtime and fresh air throughout the day. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure dogs remain safe and comfortable. My friendly German Shepherd mix enjoys having playmates, and I carefully monitor all interactions to ensure safe and positive play. Dogs also have comfortable indoor spaces to rest and relax. I follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, crate routines, medication if needed, and any special preferences. I send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.

A typical day

At my home, your dog will enjoy personalized, one-on-one care all day. - Morning: Gentle greeting, park/backyard/neighborhood walks, and breakfast. - Midday: Supervised playtime with my German Shepherd (if compatible) or independent rest in a cozy indoor space. - Afternoon: Another walk, mental stimulation, and one-on-one attention. - Evening: Calm play, dinner if staying overnight, and relaxed indoor time before pickup. All day: supervised, safe, and stress-free—perfect for medium or large dogs who thrive in a calm, loving environment.
