Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet First Aid Certified | Home 24/7
I have 3+ years of pet care experience and am Pet First Aid certified. I’m home full-time, so pets in my care receive plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I always adjust my care to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic, shy, senior, or more relaxed pets, and I never force interaction if they need extra time or space to settle in. I can follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, while providing walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety is always my top priority, and I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Yongqi was a wonderful sitter for my puppy! She is so incredibly caring and sweet. I was a bit nervous at first because I have an extremely high energy dog, but she was always so patient and active with her. I would book with her again in an instant
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Loki! She was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She took him for walks every day, and even went out of her way to have friends bring their dogs over so Loki could have some playtime and socialize. 🥹❤️ She kept me updated regularly with pictures and little updates about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. She also had so many sweet things to say about Loki and made it very clear how much she enjoyed having him around. Most importantly, Loki genuinely seemed so happy and comfortable with her. She made him feel right at home, and I could tell he was very well loved while he was there. She even emphasized that she would babysit him again in a heartbeat, which honestly says so much! Overall, she was truly amazing, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely loving with their pets. Loki would definitely be happy to stay with her again! 🐾❤️
Thanks Anna for taking care of Max
Yongqi is an incredibly friendly and kind animal lover! She was very accommodating for all of my puppy's needs and Coco just loved her. I highly recommend Yongqi for boarding and would definitely use her services again. Thank you Yongqi:)
I highly recommend her as a dog sitter! She was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Lucky. She was very kind, caring, and treated Lucky like he was her own. She kept me updated throughout the time she had him and sent me pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. She also made sure to take Lucky for a walk and give him plenty of attention. I really appreciated that she was able to look after Lucky on such short notice. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would definitely trust her with Lucky again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! ❤️🐶
We had such a wonderful experience with Yongqi! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable leaving Skippy in her care. She was so attentive, caring, and patient with him, and she made sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved throughout his stay. Yongqi kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Skippy and treated him like part of her own family.Skippy came home happy, relaxed. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you, Yongqi, for taking such wonderful care of my boy. We would absolutely book with you again and highly recommend you to other pet parents! ❤️🐾

Schedule
I’m home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care throughout the day and can easily accommodate their individual feeding, walking, bathroom, playtime, and bedtime schedules. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust my routine based on each pet’s needs. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, longer walks, or simply lots of company and cuddles, I’m happy to make their routine part of mine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, safety and comfort always come first. I provide a clean, secure, and calm environment where pets can settle in at their own pace. I closely supervise the pets in my care and pay attention to their behavior and body language, especially when they are adjusting to a new environment. I always follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, allergies, routines, and any special needs. I never force interactions and make sure every pet has their own space to relax and feel comfortable. I’m also Pet First Aid certified and provide regular photo and video updates, so you can have peace of mind while your fur baby is in my care.
Pets
A typical day
My days are structured around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. Maintaining familiar feeding, bathroom, walking, and sleeping schedules can help pets feel more relaxed while they are away from home. Mornings usually begin with a bathroom break and some gentle attention. Depending on the pet’s energy level and routine, we may go for a walk or spend some time playing and exploring. Breakfast is served according to the instructions you provide, including any special feeding routines. During the day, pets have opportunities for supervised play, walks, enrichment activities, and plenty of downtime. I believe rest is just as important as exercise, especially for pets who are adjusting to a new environment. Pets are never expected to be constantly active. They can relax, nap, observe what is happening around them, or simply enjoy some quiet companionship. Afternoons may include another walk, outdoor time, interactive games, or enrichment activities. For dogs who enjoy playing, there may be games such as fetch, tug-of-war, or searching for hidden treats. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, we can take leisurely walks and spend time sniffing and exploring. Sniffing and exploring are great ways for dogs to use their minds and satisfy their natural curiosity. Evenings are generally calmer. After dinner and a final round of play or a walk, pets can settle down and relax for the night. I follow each pet’s individual bedtime routine as closely as possible.

- I believe pet sitting should be more than simply providing food and a place to sleep. Pets deserve interaction, mental stimulation, affection, and opportunities to enjoy themselves. Depending on your pet’s personality and comfort level, fun activities may include walks, supervised outdoor time, fetch, gentle play, puzzle toys, sniffing games, basic training exercises, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also enjoy taking photos and videos during the stay so you can see how your pet is doing and share in their little adventures while you are away. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully supervise pets, pay attention to their behavior and body language, and maintain a secure environment. I also follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, allergies, and other important routines. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel respected and comfortable. I never force interaction with a pet who needs space or extra time to adjust. Whether your companion is outgoing, shy, playful, senior, energetic, or a professional couch potato, I will do my best to provide care that matches their individual needs. My goal is simple when you are away, your pet should feel safe, loved, entertained, and at home. And when you come back, I hope they return to you happy, relaxed, and full of stories from their little vacation! 🐾
