Pet care experience
Paws & Purrs, Loving Care Fur All!
Hi there! I’m Sammy (Yue Yue), a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. After studying sociology and mental health at NYU, I developed a deep appreciation for the therapeutic connection between humans and animals. My childhood companions—a sweet Shih Tzu named Ernie and a playful poodle mix named Chewy—taught me the importance of attentive, loving care, and my admiration for animals has only grown since then. I’ve cared for pets professionally through Wag (completing nearly 60 services with a 4.9/5-star rating) and volunteered at local shelters, helping vulnerable animals find loving homes. You can find screenshots of my Wag reviews under my pictures section. I’m experienced in everything from dog walking, safety on walks, following special dietary needs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, playtime, and accommodating each pet's unique personality. I’m also skilled at reading body language to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I constantly keep myself updated with knowledge on dogs and cats by reading and consuming other academic resources, most recently Netflix's documentaries "Inside the Mind of a Cat" and "Inside the Mind of a Dog." I provide regular updates, pictures, and constant communication so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in good hands. You can expect almost immediate responses to calls or texts. Whether your companion needs walks, playtime, or a loving and attentive sitter, I’m here to offer them the care and attention they deserve. Let’s set up a free introductory session—I’d love to meet you and your pet! I come prepared with dog/cat toys and poop bags.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For Sitting: Light housekeeping is included. It entails mopping and vacuuming floors (without moving anything around), washing and drying dishes, taking out the trash bags, retrieving packages, and watering plants. For every day that you are away, you will know when they are fed, walked (for dogs), and had playtime. I dedicate most of my day to caring for your pets, spending 10 to 12 hours per day with them to ensure they feel loved, safe, and entertained. I will be there with them overnight, so that they have a caretaker should they need anything during night hours. Before any sitting assignment, I offer a free meet-and-greet so I can introduce myself, get to know your pet, and learn about any special needs or routines. For Doggy Day Care: I am available to pick up your dog wherever you are located. I live in the Nob Hill area with a fenced in yard, and I have ball toys for dogs. They will have a blast running around and playing fetch in the backyard. I will follow all feeding instructions, and I plan on taking the dog out for a morning and afternoon/evening walk (depending when their pick up time is), each lasting an hour. Periodically in between the morning walk and afternoon walk, I will take them outside into my backyard every 2 hours or so for potty breaks. I don't live with any animals, so your dog will be my sole focus. I live in a fairly spacious home that has more than enough space for small to medium sized dogs. For Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits: I am a cautious walker with extensive experience. I am skilled in anticipating and preventing anything unsafe by being constantly mindful of the environment and the dog's body language. I follow all road safety rules, such as no jay walking or crossing at red lights even when there are no vehicles present. All the dogs I have walked have always returned back home safe and happy. For drop-ins, I will send over multiple pictures as I check items off the to-do list. When providing services in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting your space, belongings, and privacy. I always lock up before finishing any assignment, returning the keys safely back to you. I value treating others' homes as I would want my own to be treated. You can expect immediate responses and picture updates. I am responsive to calls and texts. I will provide a detailed report after each assignment so that you will know everything that happened when I was with your pet.
Ratings and reviews
Sami is very reliable, punctual and took great care of our 3 cats and our home! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yue Yue is great! Great communication and followed instructions very well :)
Yue Yue aka Sammy was so fantastic to our old pup! She was super communicative over text, sent pictures, and took our dog on a lot of great walks. She also was in touch with our friends and family who were dropping our dog off before the reservation and picking her up after, so hand-off was seamless. Our dog is sometimes a bit hesitant around strangers, but took to Sammy immediately. I highly recommend her!
Thank you for providing frequent updates during your stay watching our dog. We always know she is in good hands with you.
Sammy took great care of our giant dog. She exudes competence and was so affectionate towards him.
Yue Yue was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my cat and my home, was super quick to respond to my messages, and went above and beyond with cleaning the litter box/food bowl and bringing in packages. She also sent great updates and photos. My cat loved his time with Yue Yue, would definitely book again!!
