Currently, I work 10-20 hours a week in a role that offers me a great deal of flexibility. This arrangement allows me to devote most of my time to dog walking, ensuring I can easily accommodate various schedules and provide ample attention and care to each dog I have the pleasure of walking. With my enthusiasm for staying active and exploring the outdoors, I'm excited about the opportunity to incorporate dog walking into my daily activities, enhancing both my physical well-being and financial situation.

About Yujie Z.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my home or a pet owner's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment. In my home, I ensure that all areas accessible to pets are clean, secure, and free of any hazards. I provide plenty of fresh water and healthy treats, and I follow any specific dietary or care instructions provided by the pet owner meticulously. In a pet owner's home, I am very respectful of their space and privacy. I make sure to keep everything tidy and as I found it. I pay close attention to the pet's routine and try to adhere to it as closely as possible to maintain a sense of normalcy for the pet. I also provide regular updates and photos to the owners, so they feel reassured that their beloved companion is in good hands. Safety is my top priority, so I am attentive to the pet’s health and well-being during our time together, promptly addressing any unusual signs or behaviors by contacting the owner or a veterinarian if necessary. By showing respect, providing attentive care, and maintaining clear communication, I ensure that both the pets and their owners are happy and satisfied with my service.
Information Yujie Z. would like to know about your pet
1. Personality: I love diving into each pet's personality! Are they a daring explorer or a shy cuddler? Knowing their temperament helps me tailor each adventure to their liking, whether it’s high-energy play or a calm, soothing walk. 2. Health Check: I’m all about keeping our four-legged friends in top shape! I make sure I’m fully clued up on any medical needs—whether it’s a timely medication or steering clear of specific allergens. This way, I can ensure they’re as healthy at the end of the day as they were at the start! 3. Diet: Understanding each pet's diet is crucial! I keep a keen eye on what treats are good to go and which are no-nos, plus I stick to their feeding schedules like clockwork. It’s all about keeping those tails wagging with the right kind of yum! 4. Command Quest: Whether it’s a simple sit or a playful paw shake, knowing what each dog responds to helps keep our time together fun and disciplined. It’s like learning the secret handshake of every pup I meet! 5. Emergency Ready: I’m always prepared with important numbers right at my fingertips—vet, pet owner, you name it! Quick thinking and ready contacts can save the day, ensuring I’m always ready to act fast and smart. 6. Routine Rundown: Every pet has their own set of likes and dislikes, and knowing their daily routine makes me a superstar in their eyes! Whether it’s their favorite park bench or that special slow-paced walk before dinner, I’ve got it down! 7. Touch and Go: Learning how each pet likes to be handled ensures that cuddles are always welcome and never a cause for stress. It’s about respecting their space and showing love the way they like it! 8. Tools Needed: letting me know any toys or accessories you already prepared for the pet would be great!
A typical day
As a dog walker, I get to engage in some truly delightful activities that keep both me and the pups I walk overjoyed and brimming with energy! 1. Exploratory Walks: Every day is an adventure as we explore different routes and parks. We venture through bustling city paths, peaceful neighborhoods, and vibrant park trails, discovering new smells and sights at every turn. Each walk is a new journey, and watching the dogs’ excitement as they explore is absolutely exhilarating! 2. Playtime Galore: I pack toys for play sessions that are as fun as they are stimulating. From frisbees in the park to tug-of-war ropes, playtime is when we really bond and burn energy. It's a blast watching them leap and sprint, their happiness contagious! 3. Training Tricks: Short, enjoyable training sessions with treats make for a perfect blend of discipline and fun. Whether we’re refining simple commands like sit and stay, or practicing more complex tricks, it’s rewarding to see the dogs learn and grow. Each successful command followed by a treat and praise is a small victory dance! 4. Socialization Sessions: Socializing the dogs with other pups is incredibly fulfilling. It’s a joy to facilitate their play-dates and watch as they make new friends. Seeing them interact, play, and communicate with each other is like watching kids at recess—pure happiness! 5. Photo Shoots: Who can resist capturing those adorable moments? I love taking photos of the dogs during our walks and play sessions. It’s a fun break that allows me to unleash my creative side and the owners adore getting these cute updates! 6. Cool Down Strolls: After a lively play session, we take a gentle stroll to cool down. It’s a quieter, serene time that allows us to wind down and enjoy the simpler moments of companionship, like a quiet walk as the sun sets. 7. Cuddle Time: Yes, even cuddle time is on the agenda! Some dogs adore a good cuddle or belly rub at the end of a walk. It’s a soothing, heartwarming way to end our energetic outings. Each of these activities is a chapter in the wonderful story I get to live as a dog walker. It's not just a job; it’s a day filled with joy, laughter, and the unbeatable company of dogs. What could be better than that?

I am a BIGGGGG DOG person! And a Dogtor!
Pet care experience
My name is Yujie, and I am absolutely thrilled at being a dog walker! Ever since I was six years old, dogs have been a huge part of my life. My first puppy and I grew up side by side, and those memories still warm my heart today. I remember countless nights, too excited to sleep, just checking in on my little furry friend to make sure he was safe. Currently, I’m based in the UK where I recently completed my PhD. As I prepare for my next career step in the US, I find myself missing the joyful presence of a pet. Though my current flat restricts me from having my own dog, I always light up seeing others enjoy their time with their pets. It’s a beautiful sight that fills me with happiness! Becoming a dog walker is the perfect opportunity for me to immerse myself in what I love and to enhance my financial stability as I transition. I’m an avid fitness enthusiast—walking beaches and hiking hills daily, easily surpassing 10,000 steps. I’m energized and ready to provide lively, loving care to dogs that crave fun and adventurous walks! I’m looking forward to giving my all to ensure your beloved pet has a joyful and safe experience with every step we take together. Thank you for considering me; I am eager to bring lots of energy and care to your dog’s daily life!
Reviews
Yujie was brilliant! Louie and Mabel had a great time with her and I felt completely at ease whilst I was away. It's so good to have piece of mind that everything is ok and Yujie sent lots of updates and photos/videos of their adventures. I won't hesitate to book her again in the future!
Yujie looked after our rescue dog. In ten years he has only been left with family members. So I was anxious as to whether he would cope with separation . We attended a family wedding and we left Mr Bingley in Yujie's safe hands. She is the loveliest person and has such a love for dogs. Yujie is attentive and very caring and Mr Bingley had a great time with her. He didn't miss us at all! Yujie sent me some photos and reassuring messages and I had no worries throughout the day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yujie and wish her well!
Yujie was wonderful with our rescue dog Django. She carried out all instructions and was 100% attentive to his needs. We felt relaxed whilst we were away as we were kept up to date with his progress. I highly recommend using Yujie, dog waking and dog sitting. I will definitely use here again. Lovely young lady.
Yujie has been the most helpful, incredible dog Walker there could be! Always posting photos, comments about Rio and being super reliable and punctual! She often takes Rio for even longer walks and stops at nothing to make sure he enjoys himself! Could not recommend enough.
