Highlights
Pet care experience
Your babies need a vacation too!
Heading out of town and your regular sitter isn’t available? I’m here to help! Whether you’re looking for a new go-to sitter, a reliable backup, or planning ahead for specific dates—I’ve got you covered. I’m now more available on Rover than ever (a big shift from my previously limited schedule!), and I couldn’t be more excited. Working mostly from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present and hands-on with the pets I care for. 📸 Want to hear from pet parents I’ve worked with? You’ll find real testimonials right in my photo gallery. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your fur family! A little about me - As a life long pet owner and an independent rescuer, I understand the deep bond we share with our fur babies and the care they very well deserve. I am experienced working with dogs (both large and small breeds), cats, puppies, kittens and special need pets. I treat every animal I care for as my very own. Why choose me? * Experienced and Trusted: 15 years of hands-on pet care experience. * Personalized Care: I will work with you to develop a care routine that suits your pet’s needs. * Flexible schedule: I prioritize your pets well being and accomodate your schedule. * Comfort and Peace of Mind: I focus on keeping your pet’s routine intact to reduce separation anxiety and stress. * I keep everything transparent, straightforward and maintain a stream lined communication for easy reading. Please note Rover policies: *For mixed-pet households (dog + cat), rates may be adjusted to reflect both species’ care needs. * House sitting includes standard care and normal walks. Dogs that need to be walked separately may require an add-on or dog-walking rate.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment

Ratings and reviews
We’re so happy we met Yumi! She cared for our dog, Oscar, for 9 days while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Yumi sent us lots of photos and videos every day and kept us well informed about everything happening at our house—from Oscar’s eating and dog-door routine to mail, garbage, and updates from the dog walker. She was a great communicator, used excellent initiative (even buying peanut butter for Oscar’s Kong!), and never hesitated to ask questions when needed. I always felt completely up to date and reassured about what was happening at home while we were away. We would definitely reach out to Yumi again for our next trip. We highly recommend her!
Yumi was super flexible and so sweet with Teddy. Will definitely book her again!
Yumi was very attentive to our pets and very communicative with us while we were away. If you're looking for transparency and happy pets, Yumi is a great choice.
Yumi has now walked Zeus 3 times and she always sends me plenty of pics and videos. She’s very communicative and professional. I’ll be using her when I got out town as well. She’s great!!
Yumi did an amazing job again walking our beloved doggy, Strudel. She always knows how to make him feel comfortable and happy. And she sent us lots of great photos so that we were reassured he is doing well.
I hired Yumi to walk Zeus and she did a great job! I’m going to be using her to house sit for my upcoming trip as well. She’s has great communication and showed that she cares for animals. Thank you Yumi!
