Safe & Loving Care for Small Dogs!
Hi, I’m Yoon! I live with my 8yr old neutered male dachshund, and I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for over 10 years. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love having them around. If you have a small dog and need a safe, caring place while you’re away or traveling, my home is the perfect fit. In Vancouver, it can sometimes be hard to find sitters who focus on small breeds, but that’s exactly what I offer. I work from home as a freelancer, so I’m here 24/7. I can also take your pup on walks along the seawall right outside my place. While your dog stays with me, I’ll send you frequent photo and video updates like every few hours, or as often as you’d like! I speak English, French, and Korean, so communication will always be easy. I also keep a doggy first-aid kit at home (hopefully never needed, but always good to have). My dachshund is very calm and usually uninterested in other dogs, so your pup will have a stress-free stay. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I’d love to hear from you!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
YoonJoo is such a kind and warm-hearted person. Even though my dogs were nervous and uncomfortable around someone they had never met before, she stayed calm and patient and gave them plenty of time to relax and feel comfortable. Most of all, I really appreciated how often she kept me updated on how my dogs were doing. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful care she gave them!
Yoonjoo took great care of my Cali girl while I was staying overnight in Vancouver! Great communication, photos, and Cali was happy when I picked her up
Yoon is amazing！ It was our first time, she definitely made Koji felt safe and welcome by taking him to the park, many times a day and she shared me updates every single day of Koji knowing that I would miss him~ I really appreciate her and we are so glad we found her
Yoonjoo♥️ I can’t even explain how happy we are with her. Peanut has been staying with her two times now and every time peanut was happy and relaxed
Yoonjoo was amazing with peanut♥️ she’s very kind for accepting my last minute request. I received pictures and videos. We will definitely have peanut staying with Yoonjoo again ♥️
Yoonjoo was so incredible. She was so sweet, kind and very adaptable to my dog. My dog has quite a lot of anxiety, especially with people and he felt really comfortable with her and she knew how to handle him. She gives regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us a lot of reassurance. I am super happy I used her services and will definitely be back.

Schedule
I work from home as a freelancer, mostly during the evenings, so I’m actually home 24/7. That means I can always be with your dog and will be around at any time you request.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
If you’d like, I can also take your dog for walks and provide meals at their regular times using the food you bring (since allergies can sometimes be an issue, please pack your pup’s own food). I’m happy to send photo and video updates whenever you’d like, and if there are any other special requests, just let me know. I’ll do my best to accommodate them!

A typical day
Right in front of my home, there’s the Yaletown Seawall, David Lam Park and Coopers Dog Park all within a 5minute walk. If your dog is energetic, I can take them to the dog parks or just for a walk, depending on their personality and your preference.
