Pet care experience
What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience in pet care, encompassing specialized skills in puppy, senior dog care, and reactive dogs. For puppies, I excel in socialization techniques that prioritize neutralization and observation, basic obedience training, engaging pattern games, effective potty training, trick training, and crate training. When it comes to senior dogs, I provide the utmost care and attention, including the administration of oral medications and mobility assistance to ensure their comfort and well-being. Your pet's unique needs are my top priority, and I'm well-equipped to provide tailored care and expertise. Moreover, my high level of experience extends to reactivity, anxiety, and high-energy dogs. I possess a range of skills dedicated to managing and addressing the unique challenges presented by such dogs, ensuring their safety, well-being, and a harmonious environment during their time in my care, all based on science-based positive reinforcement training techniques. Your pet's happiness and well-being are of the utmost importance to me.
Reviews
We trusted our 13 year old elderly dog with YuJin and I cannot recommend her enough! Our dog has some skin issues and we informed YuJin of it so that she can be on the lookout. In the 3 weeks we were gone, YuJin diligently monitored our dog and informed us any time there were any flare ups. She applied any meds we needed her to and we came back to a healthy dog with her skin almost healed. I would definitely trust YuJin, especially for an extended pet sit.
Yu Jin's care for my cat and puppy exceeded expectations. Her updates were consistent, and she handled both pets with ease. I appreciate her reliability and attentive approach to pet care. 10/10 I would recommend her if you need a professional pet sitter.
Yu Jin is very professional, she took care of our dog very nicely and gave us timely updates. Definitely will recommend her to our friends
I met Yu Jin last year while seeking care for my 3 year old rescue schnauzer mix, who is typically hesitant around strangers. To my delight, my dog, Kipper, immediately warmed up to her because she understood his character. Her attentiveness, punctuality, and extensive knowledge of pet care were truly impressive. Kipper tends to be fearful during walks, but Yu Jin managed to discover a quiet spot in our neighborhood where he could relax and enjoy his walks without encountering any stressful situations. She also shared valuable leash maneuver skills for handling such situations. What's more, she regularly updated me on Kipper's status every hour or whenever I asked about how my dog was doing. I wholeheartedly recommend Yu Jin for dog sitting."

Safety, trust & environment
As a fellow dog owner, I understand the unique needs of sensitive, reactive, and high-energy dogs in the city. My dog walk system prioritizes creating a calm and joyful environment for your dog. This includes enrichment walks, safe leash maneuver skills, and basic leash manner skills training using science-based positive reinforcement techniques. I am experienced in working with leash-reactive, nervous, and high prey-drive dogs and I have successfully trained my dog's reactivity. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my primary concerns. My dog walk system follows these key rules: 1. I make sure that the collar, harness, and leash are working and fit properly for your dog. (I recommend Y harness, H harness, martingale collar, and flat collar) 2. I avoid interacting with unknown dogs or triggers and take precautions to prevent accidents when passing them. 3. I do not let strangers petting or interacting with your dogs 4. I closely monitor your dog to prevent them from encountering hazardous objects. 5. I recommend feeding them an hour before the walk to ensure their comfort and safety. 6. I pick up your dog's feces and dispose of them responsibly in poo bags. I provide prompt feedback about the walk, and in case of an emergency, I immediately contact the owner to address the situation and ensure your dog's well-being. Your trust and your pet's safety are my highest priorities.
Information Yu Jin S. would like to know about your pet
It's crucial to have essential information about your pets in advance to ensure their safety, happiness, and well-being during my care. This includes details like: 1. Health Information: Any existing medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions are vital to know. This allows me to provide proper care and ensure their health isn't compromised. 2. Behavioral Traits: Understanding their temperament, behavior around other pets or people, and any specific triggers or concerns helps me provide a safe and comfortable environment. 3. Routine and Preferences: Information about their daily routine, favorite activities, and preferences (e.g., favorite toys, treats, or walking routes) helps me create a personalized and enjoyable experience. 4. Emergency Contacts: Having contact information for the pet owner and the pet's veterinarian is essential in case of unexpected situations or health concerns. By having this information in advance, I can offer the best possible care and ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience for your beloved pet.
A typical day
A typical day in my care is tailored to the specific needs and health status of each dog I'm looking after. However, one consistent element is allowing the dogs to freely explore their surroundings and sniff to their heart's content, letting them take the lead during our walks. Additionally, I encourage interaction with the dogs by engaging them in activities like practicing tricks or obedience skills they already know, or even teaching them new skills for a fun and enriching experience. My goal is to provide a day filled with mental stimulation, exercise, and joy, ensuring that each pet has a fulfilling and enjoyable time under my supervision.
