I currently wfh part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I am physically very active so I’m more than happy to take your dogs out for multiple walks and runs.

Information Yuan L. would like to know about your pet
I’m comfortable with meds or special needs—just let me know details in advance so I can make sure your pet is 100% comfy. If anything’s out of scope, I’ll be honest and let you know upfront. Let us know if your dog has any health or other issues that affect their walking. I have experience with dogs that aren’t friendly with other dogs, so that doesn’t bother me as long as there is no bite history. Please note: for the safety of your dog during walks, I usually recommend using a harness rather than a collar, and a regular leash rather than a retractable one.

Pet care experience
😊Hi! I’m Yuan (Onon=my Cantonese nickname). I put my heart in each animal I care for and I wfh with a flexible schedule, so your fur baby will never be left alone or bored! My husband and I moved to NYC in 2018 and started helping neighbors and friends with pet care simply because we missed having our own animals. What began as free dog walks and cat snuggles quickly turned into becoming the go-to sitters among friends and neighbors. About me: I volunteered at an equine therapy farm in Georgia during college (yes, with horses, therapy cats, and dogs!) and dream of opening up a mental health practice with therapy animals one day. Before COVID, I traveled around the globe (Kenya, Congo, Hong Kong, Macau etc) for World Wildlife Fund-funded research on anti-wildlife trafficking. Now, I’m excited to stay local and build community—one tail wag or purr at a time. My passion is connecting with souls: I’m a certified yoga teacher, trained dance instructor for seniors with disabilities, and a former language educator for toddlers—so yes, nurturing is kind of my thing.😄 Offering & my home -Daily cleaning+professional deep cleaning weekly -24/7 doorman building w/t elevator & patio & rooftop. -FREE fresh pet-safe vegetables & fruits upon request -Playtime, cuddles, and exercise (love running) -Live photo and video updates every walk, meal, or goofy moment -A clean, safe home with HEPA Air filters & filtered water ⛲️6 minutes from St. Nicholas Park, 10 minutes from Morningside Park—perfect for long strolls! 💊meds or special needs—just let me know details in advance so I can make sure your pet is 100% comfy. If anything’s out of scope, I’ll be honest and let you know upfront.

Reviews
Yuan is absolutely amazing! My puppy is always excited to stay with her and never wants to leave! Yuan is punctual and very responsive which is highly appreciated since leaving our fur babies can be stressful. I highly recommend her!
We are regulars of Yuan, she is so great with our bubs!! She’s always available and when she’s not, she always provides a back up. We love Yuan!!
Yuan is always a total pleasure to book with, and Valentine and I both love her! I'm going in and out of town quite a bit this summer and will book with her every time -- she's his favorite sitter and I know he's in good hands. She's incredibly responsive, sends tons of pictures, and I come home to a perfect apartment and kitty!
Yuan goes above and beyond to keep our cats safe and happy and loved.
