About Ying-Ying Y.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a flat so not ideal for dog boarding (especially big and hyper dogs). Please contact me to discuss boarding situations if it’s needed.
Information Ying-Ying Y. would like to know about your pet
Past histories, the dynamic between owner and the dog, nutrition preferences… I am happy to help with any issues that the owner wants to bring up.
A typical day
Owners routine and habits are always put in priority. Personally I believe in award training, unless dominant interactivity is unavoidably required. interactive training and training oriented walks are my favourite activities, I believe these are the most effective communication with dogs.

12 years of companion care expertise
Pet care experience
I’m an archaeologist working for Historic England and the University of Southampton, work from home, based in Newport, South Wales, fully insured for working with animals. With extensive expertise in feline and canine care (nutrition, behaviour, and hygiene) I've actively participated in rescuing and rehoming cats since 2012, primarily in China. Over the years, I've successfully found loving homes for over 10 rescued cats and have personally raised four of them. Additionally, I've organised fundraising campaigns to support the treatment of injured stray cats, and gaining firsthand experience in treating Feline Infectious Peritonitis. My experience with dogs has been shaped by caring for friends' and learning from veterinarian professionals, as well as all the dogs I met theough Rover. I enjoy walking and training dogs, approaching each interaction with utmost respect and dedication. With each pet care opportunity, I continue to expand my knowledge and skills, prioritising the well-being and happiness of every furry companion in my care.

Reviews

Fab dog walker, highly recommended. Ying-Ying even did some obedience training with Millie. Will definitely go back.

A very kind, reliable & lovely person/sitter. Was updated with vids & pics after missing my cat so much! Followed my instructions to perfection and left the flat in great condition as my cat is known to mess things up 🤣 Highly recommend 👌 Thanks Ying!

We couldn’t have asked for better person to look after our beloved Linux while we were away for two weeks in Italy. From the moment Ying-Ying arrived, she made him feel loved, stimulated, and completely at ease. She stayed in our home full time and treated it with great respect, keeping everything tidy and making it feel like we never left. But most importantly, she was amazing with Linux! She truly went above and beyond! He received so much care, attention, and enrichment, including regular training sessions, playtime, and cuddles. We came home to a very happy and relaxed dog, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the love and effort Ying-Ying put into looking after him, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and truly dog-loving sitter. Thank you so much ❤️ Linux already misses you!

Calm and collected - very professional and experienced, perfect for my anxious rescue dog.
